Cuomo budget proposal large Show us the money!
More than $100 billion in in infrastructure improvements are proposed but no indication of how the the state will pay for them The road to you-know-
where is paved with
good intentions
A proposal to to to freeze Thruway tolls until 2020 and offer a a a a a a a a 50 percent tax credit to to to those who spend more than $100 annually on tolls — — including businesses — — is going to to to do little to to to help maintain nearly 500 miles of 62-year-old superhighway Raise Raise the the age? Raise Raise the the funding
Cuomo proposes raising the age at which a a a a a a a a a a a person can be tried as an an an adult This will mean a a a a a a a a a more active role for facilities in the Office of Children and Family Services as as well as as county probation departments Cuomo claims he will fully fund probation but our concern is that those costs eventually will be placed on counties Fair closure notice
Once again Cuomo is proposing eliminating the one-year notice
for closures on on Office of Mental Health facilities Meanwhile there are reports of available beds in some facilities but not enough staff even if the beds were filled $ Don’t welch on on a promise
Any state worker who retires after Oct 1 1 2016 would face a a a a a a a new retiree health insurance contribution rate depending on on on years of service This disregards collective bargaining agreements agreements already in in in place and means local government agreements agreements would likely face challenges too Gov Andrew Cuomo’s budget raises many about funding
revenue support for critical public
services Here are 11 where we have concerns Once Local government amount which governments tax cap The governments is unpopular 10 The Work Force March 2016 March 2016 The Work Force Age
