State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Statement on Governor's Budget and New Proposals

January 13, 2016

“The Governor put forth an ambitious agenda to tackle our growing infrastructure needs and build for the future.

“The state’s economy continues to be in a stronger position, which has fueled revenue growth for the state and put New York on solid financial footing. There are cautionary signs in the global marketplace that should be watched closely. And, more needs to be done to assist the areas of the state not equally sharing in the state’s economic prosperity.

“This is a good time for our state to shape our future and agree to a workable plan that makes government more ethical, transparent and accountable to all New Yorkers.

“In the coming weeks, my office will thoroughly review the Executive Budget, examine the long-term impact of these proposals and provide a detailed analysis.”
