(NPR, audio) Cuomo state budget on Tues.. “The hope would be that the governor gets in line with some other national progressive leaders,” said Ron Deutsch. “Like President Obama, Mayor De Blasio and even the Pope, who are all talking about income inequality, and addressing poverty, hunger and homelessness.” Deutsch, with the progressive leaning group New Yorkers for Fiscal Fairness, also wants to know more about the governor’s tax cut plans. Deutsch says he’d like to see the governor address income equality and poverty in his budget. He says those issues were absent from the State of the State, where Cuomo also proposed an estate tax cut that Deutsch says would benefit New York’s 200 richest families.
