Senator Catherine Young (R-Olean)
ALBANY – Although she’s a member of the opposing political party, Senator Cathy Young (R,C – Olean), who represents Chautauqua County in Albany, says she’s pleased with the spending plan governor Andrew Cuomo laid out on Tuesday.
In a prepared statement following the governor’s budget presentation, Young said that Jobs and economic opportunities are paramount, and the Governor’s focus on making New York a more affordable place to live and work is right on target. She added that “many of his proposals to make our state’s economy more competitive mirror the Senate’s initiatives. Manufacturing jobs especially drive the Upstate economy, and reducing manufacturing and small business taxes and eliminating utility taxes on employers and residential consumers are key.”
Young said she was also thrilled that Lake Shore Hospital in Irving, which is in grave danger of closing, got a specific mention from Health Department Commissioner Nirav Shah during the presentation, when he gave details about some health initiatives included in the Governor’s budget proposal.
