New York City Comptroller Brad Lander's top deputy, Michelle De La Uz, isn't the only one pushing back against Amazon's billionaire founder Jeff Bezos over a recent comment about the city's teacher tax. Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine isn't the only one. However, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards' own representative, Assemblyman Steven Matías has been joined by Queens Borough President Donovan Richards' own representative in firing back, as Queens Borough President Donovan Richards himself has fired back at Bezos, disputing his characterization of a proposed tax on the wealthy to fund city schools. Richards' comments come after Bezos appeared to dismiss the idea of a tax on the rich to fund New York City schools, calling it a "teacher tax."
