NYS Governor
David Paterson has proposed more than $1.7 billion in budget cuts that would devastate
public services and the communities that we serve in NYC. New York City could
lose $300 million in state Medicaid dollars, $770 million in state aid to public
schools and $656 million in direct aid to the city. The Governor is also proposing
a new Tier 5 pension for new public employees that would eliminate pension improvements
we have achieved. These cuts must be stopped!
Please call Governor Paterson and your New York State legislator at 1-877-255-9417,
print and send the letters below, and sign the petition. We must make
our voices heard!
