"I am encouraged that Governor Cuomo’s top priorities for 2015 are lowering sky high property taxes, and investing in the economic growth and vitality of upstate New York. These proposals hold the promise of enhancing our standard of living, putting more money in the pockets of our families and fostering a business environment that thrives on innovation and creativity. In the coming weeks I will look to build on these proposals to include mandate relief and more to ensure that Saratoga and Washington Counties’ voices are heard in Albany."
