County Budget Press Conference

The Governor and Legislative Leaders Must Include New Revenues and Better Budget Balancing Solutions as They Seek to Address the State’s Fiscal Woes

    WHAT: In coordination with groups across NYS, the Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) will call upon Governor Paterson and legislative leaders to formulate a comprehensive approach to budget balancing and fair taxation that enhances New York’s economic future and does not disproportionately impact low-income New Yorkers. PPG is particularly concerned that the Governor’s proposed cuts will be felt on top of the service cuts being advocated by County Executive Chris Collins in his 2009 budget. They will gather to also call upon the County Legislature and Executive to restore funding to vital programs such as the arts and the parks, provide funding to settle union contracts, and seek new solutions to revenue generation.

    WHEN:4:30pm November 12, 2008

    WHERE: Steps of Erie County Legislature, 92 Franklin St

    WHO: Representatives from the PPG’s over 40 non-profit, academic, and serviceorganization partners, as well as union representatives and religious leaders.
