DiNapoli Statement on Proposed Federal Budget

March 16, 2017

"The President’s budget blueprint threatens funding for vital services including housing assistance, environmental protection, anti-poverty programs and more. It provides little specific information regarding the impact of broadly proposed cuts, but it is clear this budget will hurt New Yorkers. I urge the Administration to provide the details as soon as possible so New Yorkers and all Americans can have a clear understanding of the ramifications if these proposals become law."
