Share This On FacebookThe Super Majority Grand Old Party (GOP) Voted last Month to EXTEND a Sales Tax for 2 MORE YEARS.
This 3/4 of 1 % Extension will hurt our Residents and I am Against this Sales Tax Extension. I was approached by Albany leadership to weigh in on the 2 Bills in front of Governor Cuomo to sign, in the next 10 days.
Dutchess County GOP continues to add Taxes to the Residents and the Medias put on the spin. However, here is the letter I sent on 6/21/2011 asking the Governor to VETO this and give the Dutchess County Residents some Relief:

My thanks for the opportunity to weigh in on this Bill.
I objected to the Resolution last month here in Dutchess County as it was supposed to Sunset in December 1, 2011.
The time was perfect to give our residents whom we represent a break from the 3/4 of 1 percent in sales tax extension. As it was, the Super Majority Legislative body had put in a projected 2 Million dollars alone for the month of December 2011. The statement also came out on the floor a ” projected income of 24 Million dollars was speculated for 2012 “.
How is it that a group of Legislators who voted to curtail taxes, receive Conservative Endorsements for curtailing taxes yet get backed by the Party who opposes the very same tax relief?
Surely the Governor can understand my dismay and hopefully he will VETO this extension so as to give the people who also put him in a position of Governor to help them get some type of relief, now.
The time is NOW to Live Within Our Means- isn’t it? Speculations, Projections and Anticipations on false hopes of revenue, to put it in a Budget a full years ahead of something that wasn’t even voted on is purely WRONG.
Especially a State Senator who speaks of helping the same people who put him/them into Office again?
