NY Governor Cuomo has signaled that he is preparing to
make huge cuts in the education budget for next year and will be
successful unless the State Legislature stands in his way. The
deadline on finalizing the state budget is supposed to happen this
Tuesday by midnight.
Please send a message to your state legislators now, NOT to cut vital education funding, as the state can raise revenue in a variety of ways: by increasing taxes on ultra-wealthy individuals, by taxing the carried interest income of hedge funders the same as regular income, and imposing sales taxes on the purchase of yachts and private planes, without hurting our students and schools.
In most districts, schools haven’t even recovered from the 2008 recession in terms of the loss of services and increases in class size — they can’t afford to lose even more ground. The evidence does not support the claim that this will cause millionaires and billionaires to move out of state.
