“New York is the highest taxed state in the nation, and Albany just keeps spending the people’s money as if there’s no end in sight. The reality is the end is here. People aren’t surviving. People in communities all across our state, but particularly in small, rural communities cannot make ends meet. Businesses are closing, and jobs are being lost. People are moving out of state if they can afford to do so. The people who can’t, can’t afford their medication and often even grocery store basics. It’s heartbreaking how little Albany seems to be listening. The spending must stop now.”
