Looks like New York is planning on taxing everything in sight. We need you to contact your legislator and tell them NO NEW OR INCREASED TAXES the only acceptable way to close the gap is to CUT SPENDING. This is an election year and they need to know that you are fed up with them taxing, taxing, taxing. Speaker Silver wants to continue taxing to throw more money into education...with the billions being spent in education, our children are not receiving a better education. We need accountability, not more money given to the multi-levels of bureaucracy in education. Another way to help our children have a good education is to have their Mother and Father take an interest in their education, by letting divorce become easier in New York State, our children pay the price.
