A few thoughts on this Sunday

|

A City Mourns.
Our hearts are with the family of Leiby Kletzky, the 8-year-old Brooklyn boy who got lost while walking home alone from day camp in his Orthodox Jewish neighborhood and was killed and dismembered by a stranger he had asked for directions. Leiby’s remains were found stuffed in a trash bin and the man's refrigerator, police said last week. The suspect, Levi Aron has been charged with murder.

New York has an on-time budget with a decrease in spending and no new taxes

This a major victory for New York’s new governor.

Late budgets became a major problem in New York State for Andrew Cuomo’s father Mario, who had three terms running NYS, but the younger Cuomo has delivered!

It seemed highly doubtful when Andrew Cuomo vowed he would close the 10 billion dollar budget gap with no new tax hikes or borrowing, but that is exactly what he has done.

Gov. Cuomo and lawmakers announced agreement Sunday on a $132.5 billion spending plan, clearing the way for the state's first on-time budget since 2006.
