ENP STAFF REPORTS

ALBANY — " We have some concerns with the budget plan unveiled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo today,” said Susan M. Kent, president of the State Employees Federation.
The organization opposes the fact that Cuomo’s 2015-16 budget proposal includes no funding increases for state agencies.
“With agency budgets remaining flat, understaffing will continue and needed public services in communities will decline,” Kent said. “Yet, the governor emphasized how he believes in community and that 'the New York way is one for all, and all for one.' “
The group says that it has brought $5.4 billion into the state via settlement funds and some of that money should be re-invested in state agencies “to maintain and improve public services in all New York communities.”
