Senator Helming Statement on the State of the State

I love New York. I am a proud New Yorker. We have tremendous strengths, powerful assets, and remarkable beauty. But we are squandering our future on misguided laws, unrealistic policies, and costly mandates. We should be leading the nation in affordability, public safety, and economic opportunity. Instead, we are leading the nation in taxation and population loss. The state of our state is unsustainable. It doesn’t have to be this way. I will continue to do my part to make New York stronger.
