“When the Minority controlled the state Senate, our conference routinely partnered with them to deliver transformational investments in education, public safety, environmental protection and drug treatment without raising taxes. Now that Majority is pulling all of the levers of power in Albany, it’s a very different story.

“Their budget raises taxes by billions of dollars. It lavishes New York City’s subways with billions in new funding while shortchanging the LIRR and local roads and bridges on Long Island. It relaxes penalties and sentences for criminals while placing dangerous new procedural burdens on police officers and immigration officials.

“After the Majority just chased 25,000 jobs out of New York State, they doubled down. This November, these Majority politicians’ campaigned as responsible centrists who wanted to grow the economy. Now that New Yorkers have seen who the really are, November 2020 can’t come soon enough.
