    New York State is NOT We are inin a Budget Crisis a REVENUE CRISIS.

    We need you to pay your fair share!

    New York needsJOBS for the unemployed, CRITICAL PROGRAMS in our

    communities, and PUBLIC SCHOOLS where our children can get a quality education

    ** Allowing the surcharge on the wealthiest 3% of New Yorkers to expire,will cost $5 billion in lost revenue over the next 2 years. **

    A small group of New Yorkers have gotten tax break after tax

    break in recent decades, while the rest have fallen behind!The stateswealthiest 1% now control 35% of the states income. The vast majority

    of New Yorkers support higher tax rates for the super-rich over cutting essential services

    like education, transit and health care. Yet the Governors proposals property tax caps,

    service cuts, and tax breaks for the wealthy will only deepen the states inequality,

    worsen the jobs crisis, and send Main Street economies tanking.

    THE COMMITTEE TO SAVE NY, WHICH REBNYHELPS LEAD, IS

    FIGHTING AGAINST THE VAST MAJORITY OF NEW YORKERS.

    Hey, Real Estate Board of NY,

    Step down from the

    Committee to Save New York!

    REBNY&CSNYWANT TAX BREAKS FOR THESUPER-RICH &SERVICE CUTS FOR EVERYONE ELSE!

    Who are we? We are low-income New Yorkers from communities around the State. We

    are unemployed job seekers, people living with HIV/AIDS, mothers receiving public

    assistance, low-wage workers, homeless or formerly homeless, formerly incarcerated

    individuals, and disabled veterans.

    We are fighting for our survival. We are NOT special interests.
