Molinaro to denounce Hochul's budget proposal on the House floor

Feb 09, 2023 12:45 pm

Nick Reisman reports for Spectrum News that Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro is telling reporters that on Feb. 9 he will go on the House floor to complain about New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's $227 billion budget plan, which Congress does not vote on. Molinaro is upset that Hochul's proposal could shift Medicaid money away from county governments. Molinaro says he will say, "Governor Hochul’s budget puts these programs and the people served at risk. Her budget steals one billion in federal Medicaid dollars from the most vulnerable to subsidize a bloated and broken state bureaucracy.... Gov. Hochul is stealing from programs that help children, seniors, and those living in poverty – and putting Albany bureaucracy in control of another billion in taxpayer dollars." Molinaro represents the 19th Congressional District, though he lives in the 18th Congressional District. Last week, Pat Ryan, who represents the 18th District, went on the House floor to call for the CEO of Central Hudson to resign, because of controversial billing practices.
