CBC releases a statement criticizing the New York State Senate fiscal year 2007-08 budget bill for being fiscally irresponsible and misguided in its priorities. Its excessive spending and unfunded tax cutting would jeopardize the State’s fiscal health, and its policies for health care and education would undermine long-needed reforms. The Senate’s bill should be taken off the table as the Legislature’s Conference Committees seek to craft a two-house budget bill.
