Town Meeting: NYS Budget
An invitation from NYS Assembly Member Richard Gottfried:
Come to a Town Meeting on New York’s Budget Crisis
New York State is facing its most serious budget crisis since the Depression of the 1930s – a deficit of over $12.5 billion – mostly because state tax revenue is falling. And the MTA has a $1.2 billion budget gap. What does it mean for health care, education and other important programs? Why is it happening? Should we cut programs? Should we roll back tax cuts on high-income taxpayers? Join me to learn more about the crisis and how we can solve it. State Senators Tom Duane and Liz Krueger and Assembly Members Linda Rosenthal and Brian Kavanagh are joining me in co-sponsoring these community forums.
