Tedisco on Gov. Hochul’s State Budget Proposal
“It’s ‘Hochul Hocus Pocus’ because the Governor’s going to need the slight of hand of Houdini to pull a rabbit out of a hat and reconcile $4 billion in new spending in her state budget proposal with a growing $4.3 billion deficit. More taxes and fees? All I hear about from those escaping from New York are taxes and affordability.”
“This is a plan with no plan for the future to address our state’s most pressing existential threat to our fragile economy, the mass exodus of people who are fleeing New York in droves. Over 101,000 people walked out the door last year, leading the nation in out-migration of population, with over 631,000 people leaving the state since the pandemic.”
