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.”
