Bipartisan Reform Proposal

The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was signed into law on February 17 by President Barack Obama.  This unprecedented relief package includes a total of approximately $24.6 billion in federal aid for New York state over 25 months – representing one of the largest intergovernmental transfers of funding in the history of our nation.  According to federal officials, the funding is designed to help stabilize the economy, create jobs, prevent tax increases and prevent dramatic cuts in key government programs.
