Today, I stood in opposition to the Assembly Budget Resolution, which outlined the Majority’s vision for New York. This vision included funding for the unconstitutional SAFE Act, funding cuts for our roads and bridges in the CHIPS program, a draconian cut to the agriculture budget, no property tax relief in sight, and it lacks any vision in regard to economic revitalization in the Southern Tier. Our community deserves to know just how this state is going to help us out. All we’ve heard is what we’re not allowed to do in terms of fracking, and what we can’t have in terms of casinos. As we move forward with the budgetary process, I would like to see a plan put in place to help our struggling communities.
