(Albany, NY)- “The Governor’s Executive Budget is a starting point in this year’s budget process. Now it is the Legislature’s turn to put its imprint on our state spending plan for New York. When it comes to this year’s budget, my focus is going to be on controlling spending, cutting taxes, creating jobs, and investing in key areas that will improve the quality of life for middle-class families.”
“Many weeks of legislative budget hearings will begin immediately, allowing us to examine every detail, make changes and build upon what the Governor has proposed. I am committed to working with my colleagues in both chambers to produce a good budget that improves the lives of middle-class taxpayers in New York State.”
