Albany – State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) today has issued the following statement in response to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s  State of the State Address and Budget Presentation:

 “As the budget process begins, I look forward to making paramount the needs of my district and adopt sound fiscal policies to insure a balanced and on-time budget. The Governor has outlined his vision for New York, and now the negotiations begin in earnest.

We need to create best opportunities to keep the Empire State moving forward.  We can’t do that without better funding our schools, incentivize job growth, and lowering taxes. I am hopeful we can achieve results, and more, on behalf of all New Yorkers this year.”
