…and we need your help to get vapor taxes and a place ban removed!
In case you haven’t heard, the NY Legislature failed to pass the state’s budget on time. In a statement released last night, Governor Cuomo has said he will give lawmakers and staff an extension through the weekend to work on finalizing the budget. This means that people will be at their desks in Albany this weekend answering phones and checking emails!
Please take a moment this weekend to make a call and send an email to
Sen. Joseph Robach (R)
(518) 455-2909
Asm. Peter Lawrence (R)
(518) 455-4664
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D)
(518) 474-8390
Points to discuss on your call:
- Urge them to remove language about vapor products from the budget
- Remove the tax on vapor.
- Remove the indoor use ban on vaping.
- Tell them that extra taxes on vapor products would deny thousands in New York access to life-saving vapor products.
- A 40% wholesale tax in Pennsylvania has closed over 100 businesses and will fall short of raising the projected revenue.
- Briefly, tell your story.
When you’re finished with your call, follow up with an email
