However,...Ken, I agree with you 100% in principle. However, the state budget does have significant spending cuts in it already.<BR/><BR/>It's true that the state officials do not have any decreased pay, but we both know that's never going to happen.Buffalo66https://www.blogger.com/profile/12220808319549816234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975550.post-23333991858124210632009-01-06T11:01:00.000-08:002009-01-06T11:01:00.000-08:00There's two sides to the equation and I don't thin...There's two sides to the equation and I don't think just adding taxes to raise revenues should be the major contributor. NY needs to reduce expenses. That means cut programs. It's a un re-electable position but the state needs to make substantial reductions in its programs. Also, NY state taxpayers have seen their salaries reduced, but government officials continue to get pay raises. There should be SUBSTANTIAL wage reductions among the state assembly and congress. Then, I'll be more willing to do my part in accepting tax increases.lemoynekenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175300587012929081noreply@blogger.com
