The New York State governor's office has released its proposed 2010-11 budget. Press release here.
There's plenty of pain to go around in Paterson's proposed budget, from deep cuts to education, healthcare and environmental protection funding to a $1 per-pack tax increase on cigarettes.
A few other interesting tidbits from the guv's proposal: a 3% tax on natural gas from hydrofractured wells, legalizing wine sales in grocery stores and legalizing "Mixed Martial Arts" in the state.
