Governor Cuomo Responds to Passage of Senate Tax Bill

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo held a press conference in New York City before traveling to Puerto Rico. 

Governor Cuomo responded to the passage of the Senate Tax Bill.

Here's a small portion of what Governor Cuomo said:

New York, they're using as a piggy bank to finance the tax cuts in other states in the Midwest and in the south. That's exactly what they're doing. They're against redistribution, they say. Democrats, they say, like redistribution, making the rich give to the middle class and the working families. This is redistribution on steroids. They're taking from rich states like New York and California and they're subsidizing tax cuts in the poorer states. It is the ultimate hypocrisy. The ultimate hypocrisy and the ultimate fraud. They were going to help middle class and working families, this does the exact opposite
