Issue Position: Taxes

We Have To Pay Them, But We Can Invest Them Better.
No one likes taxes and that's why I won't support new taxes for working class families. But that's not the only issue -- how our state government spends the existing hard-earned tax dollars is important. If New York is to lead we must have quality schools, access to healthcare, and strong local communities. We must also make state government more efficient so that resources can be allocated to the greatest need. I believe budgets should be a reflection of our citizens' priorities. Notably, there are occasions when new taxes are proposed that do not benefit all New Yorkers and I would fight for an exception for Upstate so that families and businesses can invest locally.
