Plagued by 9-11 and a sinking economy, our state budget's in crisis, but is Governor Pataki's plan the answer? He'd make drastic cuts in education, meaning higher property taxes, and slash nearly $2 billion from health care for seniors, kids and the working poor. There's a better choice for New York's economy. Limit these cuts by closing corporate tax loopholes and asking the wealthiest to pay a little more. Won't New York be stronger if we all share the burden?
