Statement by CSEA President Danny Donohue in response to governor's proposed budget cuts

ALBANY, NY (08/11/2008; 1725)(readMedia)-- "The governor’s proposal to the Legislature is nothing short of an all-out assault on public services and taxpayers throughout New York State.

“The cuts he proposes cannot be made without affecting real people and real services and will undermine local governments and health care among other areas.

“Aid to localities, Medicaid, and other health care funding provide essential services in every community. In difficult economic times, the governor’s proposed cuts put more people and real services at risk when needs are the greatest.

“CSEA will not stand by and see our communities undermined while working people get stuck with the bill.”
