FPI Reaction to the
Executive Budget. The governor's proposal hurts low- and moderate-income New
Yorkers while requiring little from wealthy New Yorkers, and would would cause
needless harm to the state economy. The lessons from 2003 show that New York can
successfully close large budget gaps without these negative impacts.

Economists to
Governor: Raise High-End Income Taxes To Help Close Budget Gaps (press release
and letter). More than
100 economists from throughout New York State joined together this week to send
a message to Albany: steep cuts in state spending will weaken the already
struggling New York economy, and will hurt poor and middle income New Yorkers.
In a letter to the governor, the economists urge him to take a balanced approach
to closing the gap in the state budget between revenues and spending - an
approach that includes raising taxes on high-income households.
UPDATED: Letter with
120 signers.
