“Today's state of the state lacked important details on how the Governor intends to tackle the pressing issues that are forcing New Yorkers to move to other states at near record numbers. We all agree affordability, public safety and education are important priorities, but we heard nothing on cutting state spending, ending incentives to illegal immigration or stopping drug dealers from peddling fentanyl into our communities. I'm hopeful in the coming weeks the Governor will provide clear direction and details on how we can accomplish these important objectives while closing the state's $4 billion budget deficit in a responsible manner.”
