Statement from Assemblyman Ron Castorina (R,C,I,Ref-South Shore)   

            “The Assembly Majority’s wish list yesterday signifies that this year’s budget will provide little to no economic relief to New York families,” said Castorina. “Not only have the Democrats proposed an additional $7 billion in taxes without any form of mandate relief, they also want to provide free healthcare to illegals. On top of that, they will stop at nothing to ensure that violent youthful offenders escape the punishment they deserve. Instead of the harmful economic and social agenda that the governor and his special-interest donors intend to dump on the people of New York, we need policies that support and promote a successful economic climate for families and businesses.”
