Senator Defrancisco's Legislative Priorities During the 2013 Legislative Session

Creating Jobs: As the Legislative Session gets underway, I will continue to support effectives measures that will help revitalize our economy by strengthening small business and creating new jobs for the local economy.

Providing Tax Relief: With federal tax increases in store for many hardworking taxpayers in 2013, I will fight for additional tax relief at the state and local levels.

Reducing Wasteful Spending: For the past two years, New York state has made significant progress in controlling state spending, but more can be done. Therefore, I will continue to help reduce government fraud and waste, and to deliver additional mandate relief for local governments and school districts.
