2010 Legislative Alert
Many of us already know that New York State has spent itself in to a formidable hole and the legislature is working to balance a budget ahead of the April 1, 2010 deadline. What many of us do not know is how that final budget will impact tourism and the industry as a whole. There are three areas we as an organization are focusing on by contacting legislators and letting them know of the impact. Your help is necessary and much appreciated as we try to mitigate the effect the cuts will have.
