Miller On NYS Budget

A statement from Assemblyman Brian Miller (R,I-New Hartford)

“To be honest, it’s lucky that we have a staff capable of quickly dissecting these budget bills and preparing us to debate and vote on them. The governor and the majority leaders of both houses wait until the last minute to negotiate the most important policies affecting our residents each year and then force a vote with very little time for the rest of us to examine what we are voting on. That is not how government should operate and it is the ultimate breach of the public’s trust. The way this Legislature operates is not in the best interest of the residents of New York state.”
