Description | New York, NY -- Governor Pataki’s latest budget proposal, coming on the heels of the largest property tax increase in NYC history, and Pataki’s refusal to settle the education money lawsuit is the last straw, according to Council Member Peter F. Vallone Jr.
“The State has treated us like an unwanted orphan for too long. It may be time for us to move out,” remarked Vallone. “New York City is suffering its most severe budget crisis in history, largely due to the attack on the World Trade Center, but we would have been able to withstand this attack financially if not for the actions of the State.”
