Trump Moves Federal Taxes to July 15 - Cuomo “Pauses” NY, Will Enforce Mandatory Business Closures

The administration of President Donald Trump said on Friday that they are moving federal tax day to July 15 — and earlier on Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that he is instituting an enforceable “pause” in New York State, mandating that all non-essential employees stay home. 

Cuomo’s executive order takes effect Sunday evening, and comes a day after California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered the state's nearly 40 million residents to stay home.

With the two states having a combined population of nearly 59 million people, CNN points out the two orders affect nearly 1 in 5 Americans.
