DiPietro: Assembly Majority Budget Proposal Is Blatant Power Grab

A statement from Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C,I-East Aurora) on the one-house budget proposal

“Yesterday, we voted on the Assembly Majority proposal for the state budget, which is nothing less than a power grab from the radical, socialist wing of the Majority party looking to further expand the government’s destruction of our economy.

“They asked for billions from the federal government to bail them out, they got billions from the federal government, and now they still want to raise taxes. Policies like this were the reason people and businesses were fleeing our state before the pandemic and will continue to do so afterward if we don’t change the way we treat our citizens.”
