“New York is drifting between having a bad late budget and a very bad late budget.”

Statement by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

Brooklyn-NY…“New York is drifting between having a bad late budget and a very bad late budget  with this week’s new state budget extenders. The longer the process goes, the more progressives will add to the already extraordinarily high price tag of running this state under one-party Democrat rule. The size and scope of the eventual budget will be on a historic scale, and never in a good way. New Yorkers were already beleaguered by high taxes and overspending, but Gov. Hochul and her colleagues aren’t done with us. They want more. Always more.

The self-imposed migrant crisis is costing New Yorkers well over a billion dollars they don’t have, and the cost of living, driven by wild Washington overspending, continues to eat away at household budgets. And, still, this progressive legislature is eyeing higher spending and taxes.

“New Yorkers can’t afford another week of Albany budget shenanigans. Get this done now, Governor, without adding more burdens to the mix.”
