New York State lawmakers ended their legislative session without addressing affordability concerns, according to Senator Tom O'Mara. He argues that the state remains one of the least affordable places to live in the U.S., based on national rankings. O'Mara claims rising costs are significantly impacting families and small businesses, particularly in regions like the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes. He criticizes the session for high spending and heavy regulation without providing meaningful relief. He also warns that growing budget deficits could lead to increased costs for all New Yorkers.
"The bottom line is that the state Legislature finished this year's regular legislative session... exactly where it started the session in January: New York State remains one of the least affordable states in America."
"They are worried about making ends meet and they have been for a long time now... They have felt it become less free. They believe it to be less economically competitive, less responsible, and far less hopeful for the future."
