New York City municipal employees are fighting for the right to live outside of the city. Teachers, firefighters, and police officers already have that right and they want to join them as housing costs continue to rise. A rally was held by AFSCME district Council 37 on the steps of City Hall Monday. A bill currently in front of the city council would allow workers to live in surrounding counties, but they would have to pay New York City taxes.
