Statement from Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano on Governor Cuomo's 2012 State Budget:

“There is no question that Governor Cuomo has turned Albany around with this second consecutive on time and fiscally responsible budget. Under the Governor’s budget, the State maintains a fiscally responsible approach, cutting spending and holding the line on taxes while investing in unprecedented job creation and economic growth. In addition, the phase out of the growth costs of Medicaid over three years for the counties will help local governments save money that can be put into schools, infrastructure projects and lower taxes. I commend the Governor, Senate Majority Leader and Assembly Speaker for giving the people of our state an innovative budget.”
