Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on  Governor Hochul’s 2022-23 State Budget Proposal.

 

Brooklyn, NY - “More than 200 nations around the world have

budgets smaller than the $216 billion state budget behemoth Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed today. Her budget is more than those of Texas and Florida combined — each state with significantly higher populations than ours.  New York is narrowly competing only with California, a state with twice our population, for the most expensive state government in America. The Hochul budget is almost half the size of Russia’s — Russia’s! 

 

“Meanwhile, the moving trucks keep arriving. Boy, do we need a

change of direction in Albany.”
