ALBANY — More than 40 elected Democrats — all local officials — made a rare attack on Gov. Cuomo and his proposed cuts to education and health care as the state tries to trim a $10 billion budget deficit, according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press.
In the letter, to the state Democratic Party and the governor, the Democrats called Cuomo’s budget policies “neither balanced nor well conceived,” and warned they would hurt kids and the elderly.
Neither Cuomo nor the party responded to requests for comment. The letter was signed by Democrats on city councils and other legislative bodies in New York City and upstate.
