KASSAR: NEW YORK STATE BUDGET NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT THAT WILL ACCELERATE EXODUS FROM STATE

New York- May 28…New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar issued the following statement today on the finally completed FY 2027 state budget:

“Every one of Governor Hochul’s budgets has been a disgrace, but this year’s takes the prize for the most counterproductive in memory. It raises taxes and costs in a state that can afford neither; it will continue to chase families and good paying jobs out of state, and it adds to a growing state deficit that everyone could see coming. The bottom line is that Governor Hochul has become a tool of the Mamdani socialists who will drive New York directly into the ground with over spending and government expansion.

“Every time you think Gov. Hochul can’t make things worse for a state in clear decline, she and the socialists find a way. 

“This state is in a slow-motion fiscal collapse, and this year’s budget should remind voters that things will continue to get worse until we get a common sense fiscal conservative in the name of Bruce Blakeman in the Executive Chamber.”
