Butler: We Need A Budget That Supports Real Job Growth In Upstate New York

Statement from Assemblyman Marc W. Butler (R,C,I-Newport)

January 22, 2013

“At first glance, I can appreciate that Gov. Cuomo’s 2013-14 Executive Budget proposal closes the $1.3 billion deficit without raising taxes on hardworking New Yorkers. We’re at a critical point where every dollar spent in our state must go toward creating jobs and lowering the tax burden on families and job creators. This is especially important and relevant in the Mohawk Valley and the North Country, which have been hit hardest by this unstable economy and New York’s job-killing policies.

“In the coming months, I am eager to look over the budget thoroughly and work to make sure that we support economic re-growth and support existing job creators by passing meaningful unfunded mandate relief for local schools and governments so that property taxes can be lowered.”
