Support From Assemblymember Andrew Hevesi:

“New York State received $5.1 billion from the CRF. As of this writing, $4 billion from the CRF remains at the state’s disposal. At the same time, many of New York State’s most vital services are rapidly deteriorating. We urge you to consider allocating resources from the CRF to support these services.
