From unemployment insurance to Brownfield Cleanup, Western New York’s chamber of commerce had some critiques for the budget.

“New York has billions of federal dollars it could use to help pay down its UI debt and prevent massive tax hikes on employers. Instead, state leaders continue to look the other way,” said Buffalo Niagara Partnership President and CEO Dottie Gallagher.
