Unshackle Upstate Applauds Senate Majority for Tackling New York’s Burdensome Taxes and Mandates

May 8th, 2018

“For far too long, overburdened taxpayers and struggling local governments have been calling for meaningful relief from the financial strain of unfunded Albany mandates – particularly Medicaid. The package of bills passed by the Senate Majority today advances real solutions to address New York’s mandate madness, cut existing taxes and make it more difficult to raise taxes in the future.

Making New York more affordable for hardworking families and employers isn’t a partisan issue. Members of the Assembly and Governor Cuomo should step up and take action on these measures before the end of this year’s legislative session.”
