Should you have any questions regarding this article, please follow the specific contact information provided. Governor Paterson’s 2010-11 Executive Budget Proposes Significant Spending Reductions, Key Long-Term Reforms to Eliminate $7.4 Billion Budget Gap Governor David A. Paterson today proposed a 2010-11 Executive Budget that makes significant spending reductions in order to eliminate a $7.4 billion deficit and institutes key reforms to put New York on the road to economic and fiscal recovery. The Executive Budget proposal includes spending reductions across every area of the budget; limits State spending to far below both the Governor's proposed spending cap and the rate of inflation; implements the most significant public higher education reforms in a generation; and provides fiscal relief to local governments through an aggressive mandate reform agenda. "Since the day I became governor, I have warned that New York is facing an inevitable fiscal reckoning," Governor Paterson said. "There are no more easy answers. We cannot keep spending money that we do not have. Significant spending reductions are necessary if we want to emerge from this crisis and build a strong fiscal and economic recovery. Together, through shared sacrifice, we will move forward toward a more hopeful and optimistic future for New York."
