Saratoga Springs representative to the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors Joanne Yepsen wants Gov. Andrew Cuomo to address the state's budget and ethics reform during his state of the state address.
"I just want him to hold tough on all his promises and hope that the unions as well as the local governments will work in cooperation to bring down this deficit," said Yepsen. "Because until we get our fiscal hosue in order we can’t do anything.”
Yepsen, who was a staunch advocate for ethics reform during her failed bid to unseat Sen. Roy McDonald in the 43rd Senate District, said the state has got to address ethics.
"We need new laws in NY State that will hold these public officials accountable," she said.
This is the view on Albany from the nearby city of Schenectady. We may not have a bureau in the Capitol, but that won't stop us from blogging.
