Hochul Spending Out of Control; Will Drive More New Yorkers Out of State: New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

‘New Yorkers Can’t Afford Any More of Gov. Hochul’s Affordability Plans.’

“No matter how loudly New Yorkers cry ‘uncle’, Gov. Kathy Hochul refuses to hear them. With the State drowning in debt, taxes, and nuisance fees, and with many families and small businesses hanging onto solvency by their fingernails, Mrs. Hochul is proposing a massive $10 billion increase in an already bloated State budget. This governor actually seems to believe — through magical thinking — that more government spending is the secret to ‘affordability’ in New York.

“Well, Governor Hochul, New Yorkers can’t afford any more of your affordability plans. The Governor’s proposed $252 billion budget is patently absurd. It’s well more than twice the size of Florida’s budget — a state with two million more people — and, under the same budget plan, New York will continue having the highest combined income taxes in America. Here’s our advice to New Yorkers: Invest in moving trucks in 2025. Until we break up one-party rule in Albany, the exodus will continue.”
