It was a good speech, but last year’s speech was pretty good too, and our property taxes are still the highest in the country and there are still too many New Yorkers unable to find jobs.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand what needs to be done in Albany: we need to reduce spending so we can reduce taxes and we need to get government out of the way so the private sector can put people back to work. We don’t need to create more commissions or spend more money in order to fix these problems. What we need is action.
We need to lower state spending, end unfunded mandates on our towns, schools and counties and get Albany out of the way of private-sector growth. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and tackle these issues, but the time for talking is over. It’s time to get to work and give people the results they need. I look forward to working with the Governor to tackle these problems, but New Yorkers deserve to see actions, not just speeches.
