Governor Patterson and legislatives leaders said they expect lawmakers to begin passing measures that would increase spending by 4.7 percent. At the same time they were doubling the state tax on smoking to $2.75 a pack and raising education spending by $1.8 billion. Some senators were for this cause and some were not. The total budget according to state leaders could be $124 billion, and Patterson said that the total amount would increase.
Former Governor Eliot Spitzer in January proposed a $ 124.3 billion budget that would have increased by spending 51 percent. The new spending plan does not contain a hike in income tax for millionaires.
The government keeps raising prices on things to get money, but yet they are spending it unnecessary stuff. There are plenty of stuff to fix in this country such as schools, train stations, taxi cabs, etc. But instead they are spending their money on wars. How would you feel if u had to pay extra for items you buy on a regular basis and there is nothing improved about them? I would be upset to know that I am taking extra money out my pocket to pay for things that do not benefit me.
