WHAT:
In a statewide referendum this November, voters throughout New York State will determine the fate of a proposed constitutional amendment that would reduce the budget-making powers of the governor’s office while strengthening the hand of Albany’s legislative leaders.

Carey, one of the most successful and effective chief executives in New York State’s history.
