MURRAY: GOV’S PROPOSAL TAKES CUE FROM GOP PLAN A Statement from Assemblyman Dean Murray (R,C,I-East Patchogue)
“As the governor continues to roll out his proposals for 2016, you can’t help but notice the striking similarities to Republican bills from last session. His fourth proposal aims to provide tax relief for small businesses, offer a higher percentage for personal income tax exemptions, and promote economic development.
“While I am encouraged that the governor is now taking steps to provide the small-business owners in this state with some relief, the issue should have been addressed years ago. The governor and Assembly Democrats had to look no further than the Small Business Full Employment Act (A.5898) legislation I proudly co-sponsor.
“The governor’s proposal mirrors many of the proposals from A. 5898 which would provide tax and regulatory relief for small businesses. There are over 190,000 small businesses on Long Island that desperately need our help. I look forward to this year’s legislative session and hope the governor is serious about advancing these measures as part of the budget.”
