Does this
sound like Budget Reform to you? |
 It
does not require that the Legislature pass an on-time
budget.
It gets rid of the
requirement that lawmakers lose their paychecks
when the budget is late.
And if the Legislature
fails to pass an on-time budget, the Assembly and
the Senate take control of the budget-writing process.
The Legislature has
already added $12 billion to the budget in just
10 years. More budget power for the Legislature
means more spending, which means more taxes. Is
that what New York needs? |
This November,
vote"NO"
on Proposal One - The Runaway Spending Amendment |
