What about this year Governor? Have you come to an agreement with the leadership this year that we don’t know about yet? You, Governor Paterson are calling for a 2 billion dollar cut in this years budget due to excessive spending and the Wall Street collapse. How are you going to do that before the end of the year? The legislators are scared to death to go to Albany and address this problem before election day so each and every day that YOU wait, costs us millions upon millions…

We already know that you are stealing the surpluses from the “Authorities” once again, a clear violation of the Law and the Constitution, but that has never stopped any governor or slowed down the abuse.

Paterson Says No Tax Increase Next Year

“Governor, will you rule out raising taxes — either business or personal income taxes — next year?”

Governor Paterson: “We have ruled that out, myself and all of the leaders of the legislature, for the period this year and the budget process next year. What we want to do is cut our out of control spending.”
