Citizen Action of New York Responds to Governor Cuomo’s Tax Proposals
Albany, NY – In response to Governor Cuomo’s proposed tax policy changes, Karen Scharff, Executive Director of Citizen Action of New York, said:
How many times does history have to prove that tax breaks for business and the wealthy don’t help working and middle class New Yorkers? If the state’s leaders really want to reduce property taxes, they should adequately fund our schools and municipal services – not give away precious state dollars to corporations and those inheriting multi-millions. We need a tax plan that works for all of us, not more voodoo economics.
