News From NFIB/NY

Capitol Update -- Aug. 21
The Senate and Assembly convened this week for a special session called by Gov. David Paterson to address New York's growing budget deficit which has put New York in fiscal crisis. Legislators agreed on $427 million in budget cuts, including reductions in "member items," which, combined with cuts the governor has already instituted, will slash state spending by $1.5 billion this year. This will bring the rate of increase of this year's budget over last year in line with the consumer price index. Gov. Paterson continues to earn high marks from the business community -- including NFIB -- for his strong and determined leadership in pushing for fiscal conservatism, as well as his insistence that the problem be remedied by spending cuts, not tax hikes.
