Phil Ramos is working to make life less taxing
Phil Ramos has heard the concerns of his constituents – high gas prices,
rising property taxes and the high cost of living on Long Island. That’s why
Ramos pushed for a state budget that delivered relief for working families.
Ramos fought for a budget that:
|
Preserved the Middle Class STAR rebate program
|
|
Rejected increased taxes and fees – like the gas-tax increase and the proposed $15 car
tax – that would have nickel-and-dimed working families
|
|
Created the new prescription drug discount card for individuals 50 to 64 years old
|
Ramos understands there’s more work to be done. That’s why he’s fighting to:
-
Create the Long Island Workforce Housing program to provide affordable housing for
middle-class families (A.9881-A, awaiting governor’s signature)
-
Expand the Empire State Child Tax Credit to include all children under 17
-
Tie property taxes to income so residents are not overburdened
