Gov. David Paterson unveils dire New York State budget that includes new taxes, layoffs and cuts
- A 3.3%, or $698 million, reduction in school aid.
- $3.5 billion in health care savings, including reductions in payments to hospitals and nursing homes.
- Video slot machines at Belmont Park, more multistate lottery games and expanded hours for the state’s Quick Draw lottery game.
- Layoffs for 521 state workers and the elimination of seven state agencies.
“This is where we are,” Paterson told reporters. “Maybe we should have thought about this when we were depending on what we thought was inexhaustive collections of taxes from Wall Street – and now those taxes have fallen off a cliff.”
You think the Democrats are a wee bit overconfident that the voters won’t throw them out?
Ok people with a massive depression coming some nut wants more tax? isn’t this showing you what government is and how stupid people in power are?
the only thing we can do now is build a new government and totally Ignoring the other one if we get our own cops and our own normal political people who are not stupid and we can just walk away from the criminals now running all the states and the fed.
How about a stupid tax for stupid politicians who come up with these stupid ideas Or a HOT AIR TAX on the eco-wackos who are always flapping their mouths and producing HOT AIR
