For a budget that was supposed to prioritize affordability and public safety, it fails miserably. 

Instead of relieving New Yorkers of high taxes and costly mandates, the budget doubles down on spending – a $17 Billion increase over last year! 

This budget is out of touch. Those who hold the power in Albany don’t understand the struggles of working families, seniors, farmers, or small business owners. They simply don’t get it. 

The foundation of an effective government is fiscal responsibility. In New York, that foundation is not merely cracking, it’s collapsing.

If you truly love New York, you don’t dig it further into the ground. You fight with all you’ve got to turn it around.
