Dear Friend,

I, along with our entire Assembly Minority Conference, look forward to working with the Governor-elect to fulfill his promises of tax relief, job creation and Medicaid reform.

As always, our Conference stands ready to serve you and help make our State a safer, better, stronger place.

To contact your Assemblymember, please
call (518) 455-3751 and you will be connected.

By delivering property tax rebate checks, ending the marriage penalty and eliminating the State sales tax on clothing and footwear costing under $110, the Assembly Minority Conference has led the fight to make tax relief a reality.

The Assembly Minority Conference has also fought for these fiscally responsible policies:

• Double STAR benefits for homeowners

• Restrict unfunded mandates that drive up county property taxes

• Expand STAR benefits to reduce county property taxes

• Crack down on waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicaid program to save taxpayers $4.5 billion annually

By growing New York’s economy, we’ll help keep families together by ensuring our best and brightest have access to good-paying jobs and can stay here.

• Invest in high-tech manufacturing along with cutting edge bio-tech and nano-tech research and development

• Cut burdensome governmental regulations and bureaucratic red tape that drive employers away

• Provide every child a first-class education that prepares them for the 21st century workforce

• Support the use and development of alternative fuels

• Eliminate the Corporate Franchise Tax for manufacturers to create and retain jobs

That’s why the Assembly Minority Conference supports efforts to help make New Yorkers more safe and secure. Here’s how:

• Give police officers and prosecutors the tools they need to fight the war on terror and prevent future attacks

• Support efforts to get illegal guns off our streets and the death penalty for cop killers and terrorists

• Civilly confine predators and prevent them from living within 1,000 feet of a school, park, daycare or playground
