Speaker Silver: Siena Poll More Evidence New Yorkers Agree that Millionaires Shouldn't be Getting a Tax Cut


The results of today's Siena College poll is further evidence that New Yorkers do not think millionaires and multi-millionaires should be getting a tax cut while working people are sacrificing and vital services are being cut. I remain firmly committed to this principle and I am hopeful that our partners in government will agree to the Assembly's proposal to keep the current tax rates in place through next year for those making more than $1 million.
