Transcripts from Speaker Silver Responds To Governor's State of the State Message

Audio Excerpt #1
"While his plea for unity and "sharing the burden" is commendable, we are disappointed that the governor does not begin the articulation of how he will address the difficult fiscal decisions he was elected to make.

Today is the day when he should make his priorities clear so that we can get to work immediately."

Audio Excerpt #2
"One thing I can assure you, the Assembly Majority will not allow impending budget cuts to be balanced solely on the backs of our children, our working families, or on our public servents.

We will approach the challenges ahead guided by the Democratic ideals that have distinguished us as the champions of working families."
