Call for Alternate Budget Options to Remedy Crisis Unanimously Supported
Rochester, New York – April 8, 2008. A Democratic proposal seeking alternative solutions to a possible $29 million budget crisis will come before the full legislature tonight for a final vote.
Sponsored by Democratic Minority Leader Harry Bronson (D-Rochester, Brighton and Henrietta) the proposal seeks to ensure Monroe County taxpayers are protected in the event the administration’s appeal of the recent Appellate Division decision ruling the so-called F.A.I.R. plan invalid.
“We understand the difficult time the administration is going to have trying to address a $29 million budget crisis, and that is why we put forth this legislation. The planning must began now for the alternative budget. My Democratic colleagues and I are pleased that the Republican Majority has joined this legislation in taking an active role in requesting a budget solution,” Bronson said.
With all 29 Monroe County Legislators signed on to the proposal, Democrats expect it will be passed unanimously.
