Of course they would attempt this - NY is the state with the highest overall tax burden (<a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-burden/20494" rel="nofollow">https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-bur...</a>). The status quo is that all the big tax states regularly increase taxes and find creative ways to grift off others' private activities. A recent example is Washington state's Democratic party trying to pass a state-level capital gains tax (<a href="https://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/detail/sb-5096-would-impose-a-9-income-tax-on-capital-gains-in-washington-state" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/detail/sb-5096...</a>) even though it is explicitly illegal per the state's own constitution. Pushing the boundaries of what is legal or ethical when it comes to taxation is the <i>norm</i> not the exception.<p>With the recent exodus in California, and the advent of remote work/decentralized economies brought on by the pandemic, I imagine all states with large tax burdens are going to try to get creative in this regard. Personally, I look forward to economic decentralization starving these bloated institutions, which hopefully will also reduce the extent to which they interfere and control our lives as individuals and private organizations. It starts with reducing the size of their giant coffers.
