Issue Position: Stop Unfunded Mandates

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Entitlements and the Safety Net Government Budget and Spending

Albany's continued avalanche of unfunded mandates is bankrupting Upstate New York's future and driving up property tax rates across the region. In fact, Medicaid accounts for the majority of most upstate county budgets. As Senator I will:

Eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in welfare programs;

Support an unfunded mandate ban;

Remove responsibility for funding and administering Medicaid from counties;

Support legislation to prevent cash assistance cards from being used for non-essential items.
