MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG'S STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR PATAKI'S PRELIMINARY BUDGET PROPOSAL

"Today Governor Pataki initiated an especially difficult budget process. The attacks on the World Trade Center have presented new challenges for State and Local Government and only by working together can we ensure that the economy will rebound and the fiscal integrity of State will be preserved.

"New York City is our State's economic engine and I will fight to make sure that we get our fair share from Albany. I will begin this process when I travel to the State Capitol to testify before the Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means Committees on Monday."
