Senator Weber debates the failure to secure a 3.2% COLA for Direct Support Professionals in the 2024 - 2025 NYS Budget and explains his vote
New York has $2.4 billion to give to illegal migrants, but not enough money to give our Direct Support Professionals a 3.2% cost of living increase? New York's priorities are out of whack and this is a slap in the face to those professionals. That's why I voted no on this part of the budget.
