Protest today at the NYS Capitol

By on March 30, 2011 in Albany

Today, there are 15 buses from across New York unloading people who are set to protest the proposed budget from Governor Cuomo. This is a last ditch effort to have Cuomo reconsider the $100M cuts to the State Universities across New York, while simultaneously letting the higher income tax surcharge expire for the states highest earners.

The rally is set for 1pm and is expected to be over a thousand strong. There will be updates throughout the day here with pertinent information.

First edit: Today marks the monumental day when the State Capitol of New York placed their largest order for delivery pizza. [lohud] [thanks for the tip off Donges]

    Not to argue semantics, but the “Millionaires Tax” under Cuomo’s budget is an elimination of the “tax surcharge,” not a higher tax rate based on income. Also, Cuomo isn’t eliminating the tax, but allowing it to sunset (by not renewing). Small details, but important.
