That sounds to me like he is asking about a tax law specifically for NY or
NYC, otherwise why refer to states at all?

True but irrelevant to the OP's query.

I remember riding from Clearwater up thru Safety Harbor and Oldsmar onto
Racetrack Road and over to Tampa at night, but that was 20 years ago when
the ride was pretty desolate at that time of night. I'm sure it's not the
same now.

BTW, have you ever heard of Eric Durham-Moore? He was a framebuilder in
Tampa. Gary Tepe worked for him. If you're a bike racer in Tampa, you've
heard of Gary Tepe.
