Utica 4th Ward Councilman Joe Marino is introducing a Comprehensive Debt Reduction Act that he says will increase the City's poor bond rating, and help lower taxes for residents.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Lawmakers in the state Senate have worked past midnight to finalize the chamber's budget resolution, two days after the Assembly approved its spending proposal.
Utica Fourth Ward Councilman Joe Marino plans on proposing a resolution at the next common council meeting that would ask for the state's help getting involved with the financial restructuring board.
In response to the City of Utica's proposed budget increase, Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi is asking Mayor Robert Palmieri to consider ways to bring money to the City without raising taxes over 2%.
