NY Assembly GOP Urge Restoration of Cuts

ALBANY -- Assembly Republicans today urged the Democratic majority to reduce the $425 million in tax breaks for film productions and restore a $90 million cut to the state Office of People with Developmental Disabilities.

In the 2013-14 budget, lawmakers added back $30 million of a $120 million cut to the agency proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The $90 million cut that remains should be funded through lowering the tax breaks given to Hollywood, Assembly Republicans said.
