Rinfret pushes one year salary freeze as plan to balance NY
Republican challenger Pierre Rinfret unveiled a fiscal plan to freeze state spending for a year and ask state workers to accept a one year salary freeze. He argues Cuomo created a credit card state headed for bankruptcy and says the plan could cut spending by 1.5 billion with 900 million in revenue growth to cover a 2.4 billion deficit. He would also cut taxes in 1992 while allowing 4 percent annual spending growth the following year. Cuomo aides dismissed it as political theatrics.
