As the 2018-19 NYS Budget process moves forward, NYSAC has released a series of fact sheets laying out the county perspective on several budget priorities. These are the budget issues that most impact New York's counties. NYSAC will be working with the NYS Senate, Assembly, and Governor's office on these issues, and we urge our members to reach out to their representatives. Further information on each topic can be found on the page for each issue area.  View NYSAC's 2018 Legislative Program here.
