Immediately following the governor’s budget address, a group of Republican legislative leaders issued a press release criticizing the proposal. In a statement, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) said that “The spending plan contains far too many poison pills like expanding welfare, legalizing recreational marijuana, repealing Act 10 and growing the size of government.”
