Rockefeller plans tight budget with higher taxes in New York
Governor Rockefeller outlined a tight经济 budget to be balanced by higher taxes aimed at yielding 500 million dollars for essential increases in education welfare and Medicaid. He pledged that every cent of new state aid would return to local government and schools to ease local property tax pressure. Localities’ aid requests total 1.5 billion for next year, requiring cuts to 500 million, and he urged local governments to curb spending. The plan relies on existing taxes for existing programs while exploring a possible income or sales tax surcharge though no final choice was announced.
