On Jan 16, 2024, concerns were raised by an individual regarding the budget proposal put forward by the Governor of New York. According to the individual, the state is facing a fiscal crisis due to overspending and neglect of crucial needs.

The individual stated, “New York is on the verge of a fiscal crisis, in large part because the governor and the progressives who put pressure on her are ignoring the realities on the ground. Neglecting taxpayers’ needs – which includes safe roads and living wages – seems to be this governor’s mantra, and her proposal fails to address the needs of families, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, seniors and veterans, while at the same time catering to asylum seekers with billions in funding."

Highlighting the unsustainable spending habits, the individual pointed out, "Her own budget director has said these spending habits are unsustainable, and if we could solve these problems by throwing money at them, they’d already be solved."

In conclusion, the individual emphasized the importance of common sense in governance, stating, "Common sense needs to return to this government because overspending is killing New York."
