View Photo »The Governor has been a willing and active partner in a long-standing travesty that has hurt legitimate businesses and robbed billions from our state at a time when essential services are being threatened with deep cuts
Spending $2.5 million to replace a Carl Kruger might not be money well spent
I fear that the actions I am addressing constitute some kind of a ‘secret partnership’ to effectively stall and delay tax collection
There’s a resolution that has been put forth by Senator Foley ... Senator Carl Kruger indicated yesterday, I’m not quite sure what you asked him, that with respect to this resolution he indicated this resolution will be taken up, or a resolution will be taken up at some point in time before the Presiden...
We have a governor. His name is David Paterson, and until I hear otherwise, the subpoena will be issued in his name
After nine years of torture, nine years of acrimony, nine years of nail-biting and hand-twisting, folks just want to know where their tax dollars are
Everyday that goes by we are not doing the right thing for the people of New York
Being faced with the possibility of a $7.4 billion deficit is a daunting challenge that should neither be minimized nor understated
The mayor’s going to be around for four more years and we’re going to be around for many years, too
I would not want to prejudice anybody’s view with my own so I’m going to keep mine to myself
Every member has a right to file a resolution
I will be putting on the Finance calendar a quote-unquote Monserrate resolution before we go on President's break, so it should be taken up the week prior to that
That was later in the process
The question is whether there's the fortitude to be able to develop a budget. At the same time working with the assembly I think we're going to come up with a comprehensive plan that will pull us out of this morass
Rescinding the Tax Department’s policy of forbearance, as the Governor now says he intends to do, would be a huge step forward. But we need to see a timetable, and we need to proceed in the proper sequence.
I am encouraged by the Governor’s renewed attention to the need to collect the hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue from sales of cigarettes by Native American enterprises to non-Indian customers
These are, although they represent the biggest chunk of the budget, they also represent the most difficult areas to cut in the budget ... So, obviously we’re far from being able to give actual snapshots and snippets of what our targets are going to be, but there are going to be significant restorations.
Taxpayers cannot look past the fact he has foregone a comprehensive property tax relief plan and introduced a proposal that is scatter-shot and unfocused.
I want to see his budget. I don’t want to hear the platitudes ... David Paterson was part of the fabric of Albany for 25 years. He’s been in decision-making positions . . . Now to say it was all wrong and there’s a better mousetrap – I want to see it in his budget.
