Video: 'Committee to Save New York' stands by their Cuomo

The Committee to Save New York is back.

The pro-business group that raised millions of dollars and launched a media campaign to help Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo pass a no-tax-hike budget in March is out with another ad. The group’s deep pockets were seen as off-setting efforts by the teachers’ unions to scuttle the governor’s spending plans.

The group now is praising the tax-code rewrite enacted by Cuomo and legislators last Wednesday. The bill raises taxes on couples who earn more than $2 million annually but cuts them for a broad swath of middle incomes and partially repeals the MTA payroll tax.

Ignoring the tax-hike portion of the bill, the Committee’s new campaign touts the legislation as “Lower Taxes for All New Yorkers.”
