“The facts are directly in front of Gov. Hochul–crime has substantially increased, out-migration is at an all-time-high and our hard-working families are struggling to put food on their tables–yet instead of real initiatives to create change, we hear continued false hope and promises and more money coming out of taxpayers pockets. We simply cannot stand for not only another bloated state budget, but one that has its priorities so far out of line. Throughout this legislative session, I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come to a consensus on a common-sense budget that works for all New York residents.”
