ALBANY— “The Business Council is pleased that Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders are continuing on the path to bringing fiscal stability back to New York.

For the second year in a row, New Yorkers will be pleased that our state leaders have enacted an on-time budget with controlled spending and no new taxes. The budget also makes important investments in job creation and critical infrastructure.

This sends a strong message to the state's business community and the rest of the nation that New York has turned the corner and moved in a direction that will lead to a better economy and an improved employment outlook for millions of New Yorkers.”

- Heather Briccetti, President & CEO of The Business Council of New York State, Inc.
