Chairman Long Responds to Chairman Mondello

March 16, 2007

Hon. Joseph N. Mondello

Chairman

Republican State Committee

315 State Street

Albany, New York 12207

Dear Chairman Mondello:

I am saddened that you fail to understand the depth of the budget problems that New York taxpayers face.

The Conservative Party always has and always will support tax relief.

The Governor’s budget is far too expensive.

The Senate Republican Majority adds far too much to an already bloated budget.

I will say it one more time -- SPENDING IS THE PROBLEM – and New York taxpayers understand that.

When Republicans are ready to cut spending and taxes, the leaders of the Conservative Party will be ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Sincerely,

 

Michael R. Long

Chairman
