Simply put, the Putnam Paradox is a description of how
Putnam residents spend their disposable income.

Every time a resident of Putnam County drives across the
border into Connecticut , Westchester , Dutchess or other
neighboring municipalities to shop, they take their sales tax
dollars with them. So, instead of Putnam County receiving
the sales tax collected on these items, other municipalities
benefit from such purchases.
