WHAT IS A BETTER CHOICE FOR NEW YORK?

A
Better Choice for New York is a commitment to invest in
the future of New York by making smart revenue and budget balancing
choice. Ensuring that New York is dedicated to protecting all of
its citizens, not only big business, requires passing a budget that
preserves the promise of New York and shares the burden between
all of its participants. We must protect the most vulnerable-the
children, elderly and poor-by avoiding detrimental spending cuts;
under-funding education, health and human services discriminates
against specific groups in our state.
We cannot continue to permit
the middle class to shoulder the burden through increased regressive
property taxes; make corporations pay their fair share and tell
the Governor to stop the sweetheart deals with private contractors
that take away jobs from our own state’s workers! The campaign
has been previously successful in making the legislature aware of
additional revenue options other than massive spending cuts; our
elected officials responded with a reasonable tax increase on those
with the highest incomes. This year our campaign must work even
harder to tell the Governor and Legislature that big business must
pay their fair share and that special interests must come second
to the interests of New York State citizens. We must also let them
know that tax equity must be achieved through a restructuring of
the personal income tax.
There is a Better Choice for New
York!
