2014-2015 EXECUTIVE BUDGET PROPOSAL INFORMATION

January 23, 2014

Governor Andrew Cuomo has unveiled his new Executive Budget Proposal for the 2014-2015 Fiscal Year.

Over the past three years, we’ve enacted three consecutive on-time budgets and ended the dysfunction that once plagued Albany. These were fiscally responsible plans that help improve New York’s economic climate. But more needs to be done.

That is why I am encouraged with the broad outlines of the new 2014-2015 Executive Budget proposal that Governor Cuomo has just submitted. While we need to carefully study and analyze the specific details of the Budget proposal, the overall plan appears to control spending, cut taxes and make critical investments that will help the private sector create new jobs.

In the coming days, I plan to scrutinize and review all aspects of the Governor's plan, in order to ensure that it meets the needs of our local community, as well as our state as a whole.
