ALBANY -- Assemblywoman Jane Corwin Says One-House Budget Crushes Economic Development Upstate:
"While the Assembly Majority’s one house budget proposal offers some positive solutions to issues facing our state, such as increasing education and library aid, ultimately the proposed elimination of economic development programs for upstate New York combined with an increased mandatory minimum wage that would be tied to inflation forces me to vote against this proposal. As we continue negotiating a final 2016-17 State Budget, I will be advocating on behalf of Western New York and fighting for our priorities: lower taxes, better jobs, and more opportunity for the future. Furthermore, I strongly encourage all of Albany’s “three men in a room” to open the budget negotiations process to include all party conferences and to reinstate the tradition of notifying the media of when these closed-door meetings have taken place. With this week being dubbed “Sunshine Week” in Albany, it is discouraging that budget negotiations have taken an even more secretive and backdoor approach."
