John,
When I said your family is my fight, I meant it.
I fought
tooth and nail for a budget that makes life safer and more affordable
for New Yorkers. And guess what? We got it done.
From putting
nearly $5,000 back into the pockets of working families and giving
everyday New Yorkers a fighting chance to own their own home, to
making record investments in proven gun violence prevention programs
and taking action to make our communities safer, we delivered a budget
that is going to make a real difference in the lives of New
Yorkers.
Our budget:
-
Cuts taxes for 8.3 million middle-class New Yorkers,
bringing tax rates to their lowest levels in 70 years.
-
Makes breakfast and lunch free for every New York
student.
-
Removes dangerous criminals from our streets and helps victims
get the justice they deserve by making common-sense changes
to our discovery laws.
-
Makes our streets and subways safer with record
investments in gun violence prevention and action to connect people in
the throes of severe mental illness with the life-saving care they
need.
-
Tackles the housing crisis by standing up to big
corporations that are making it harder for everyday New Yorkers to buy
a home.
-
Removes distractions from students at school with a
bell-to-bell restriction on smartphones — so kids can focus on
learning.
-
Gives every New Yorker the opportunity to succeed by
making community college FREE for adults pursuing careers in
high-demand fields.
While Washington remains distracted by chaos and division, New York
is proving that government can get things done and make a real,
positive difference in the lives of our families.
Ever Upward,
Gov. Kathy Hochul
