Smart Democrats (and Brave Ones Also) In The Assembly (UPDATED)

The following upstate Democrats voted NO on the New York State budget understanding that it is not a good budget for any of the state, much less upstate.

Dennis Gabryszak, D-Cheektowaga
Robin Schimminger, D-Kenmore
Sam Hoyt, D-Buffalo
Bill Parment, D-Jamestown
Joseph Morelle, D-Monroe County
David Koon, D-Monroe County
Joan Christenson, D-Syracuse

And Amy Paulin, D-Scarsdale who voted NO on all but 3 budget bills. 
“We need to scale back and we spent too much money,” Paulin said. “I’m worried about the economy of the future.”
