Assemblyman Wieder Praises New Budget Plan That Provides Funding To Local Communities

Assemblyman Aron Wieder released a statement about the new proposed budget plan, which includes critical funding that will help local communities. 

"This year, our economic climate has caused a rise in everyday purchases, childcare, rents, mortgage payments, and transportation. And among the discussions I have had with my residents during my first months as their new Assemblyman, remaining committed to putting our families first and making life affordable in these tough economic times is paramount," Assemblyman Wieder says. 

“The Assembly proposed budget plan, introduced earlier this week, does just that – it includes critical funding to ensure that hardworking parents, students and our communities are supported. The spending plan allocates funding for afterschool programs and providers and childcare subsidies. The spending plan also includes funds to ensure the maintenance and improvement of regional and local highways and bridges, and places safeguards in place to strengthen public safety in our state.

“This one house plan is part of a larger budget negotiation process between our state’s governing bodies including the Senate, Assembly and the Governor. And as budget negotiations continue and we are one step closer to crafting the state’s final budget, I’m committed to uplifting our communities’ voices, fighting for our priorities and fostering a brighter future for local taxpayers and ensuring the Orangetown and Ramapo communities get the help they need.”
