Statement From Senate Democratic Leader

Andrea Stewart-Cousins on Trump’s Efforts to Continue Hurting
NY Taxpayers

“The Republican Tax Plan was an attack on blue states like New York, and the Trump
Administration's push to block us from minimizing the damage is just adding salt to the wound.
The State Senate Democrats have worked tirelessly to advance common sense tax relief
proposals, but the Republican Majority refused and continue to refuse to take any action
whatsoever. Millions of overburdened New York taxpayers will be punished because Republican
State Senators are more concerned with following their party leadership than serving their
constituents.”
