Governor Cuomo’s address enumerated his plans to make New York state fiscally responsible with goals to reduce spending and make government more efficient. I firmly support these plans and I implore the governor to follow through on his ideas. In the coming year, I hope the governor also will support policies that reduce the tax burden and catalyze private-sector growth. I am optimistic that we can work together to tackle the issues affecting hardworking taxpayers and make New York a better home for families and businesses.
