Thewide package also includes an oil tax revision, a 57.2 million school aid bill for 45 small-city districts, and a 1.25 billion public works bond proposal.

Cuomo weighs bond sale for New York Rebuilding bond issue
Gov. Mario Cuomo concedes the hard part of selling the 1.25 billion New York Rebuilding bond issue to voters has begun after Assembly and Senate negotiations. The plan funds highways bridges ports and other public works with a pledge that no money goes to Manhattan’s Westway and that minority and women contractors receive fair shares. Negotiations linger over a specific project list and voter understanding.
