I was proud to stand with my Senate Republican colleagues today to call for real and meaningful tax relief in the 2019-20 State Budget to help reverse New York's growing affordability crisis. I have heard from countless people in our community about the impact that our high tax burden has on their bottom line and their family. As the number one taxed state in the nation, we cannot afford to continue raising taxes and driving people out of New York. We need tax relief and we need it now!
