press release (PDF 94K)Statement From Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of the Partnership for New York City, on Governor Paterson's Executive Option
“Governor Paterson's willingness to take the heat for making the budget cuts that are required to save New York State's credit rating is a demonstration of political courage unlike any we have seen in Albany for some time. The business community fully supports his request that the Legislature authorize the Governor to act on behalf of the public interest to forestall a deeper fiscal crisis and urges quick passage of the authorizing legislation.”
