‘Taylor Swift Tax’ Stirs Bad Blood With Rhode Island Homeowners
Bloomberg News Boston money and power reporter Greg Ryan said that a Rhode Island tax increase on second homes is not just impacting the wealthiest residents like Taylor Swift, but that many residents with family properties worry about the impact on their finances. The Rhode Island tax comes as some other cities and states move to tax second homes at a higher rate, like the pied-a-terre tax proposed in New York City by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. (Source: Bloomberg)

How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
