@SenatorRhoads ❌❌❌ Every Senate Democrat just voted against desperately needed tax relief for New Yorkers and their families.

[NYS Senate Republicans @nysenategop]

The amendment (S.9110, by @SenatorRhoads) would enact the largest tax cut in state history, providing New Yorkers and their families with much needed affordability relief.

Freedom isn’t guaranteed, it’s protected through the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our nation. This Memorial Day, we honor our fallen heroes and remember the debt we owe them.

With heavy hearts, we remember Correction Officer Hussey and the selfless service he gave to NC. His passing is a profound loss felt far beyond the walls of his profession. Keeping his family, colleagues, & all who loved him close in thought & prayer during this painful time. 🙏

12 budget extenders.
$25+ BILLION in temporary spending.
Still no final NY State budget.

New Yorkers deserve better.

We haven't been told anything. Answers without Answers. This budget process has become one lacking urgency and failing to provide taxpayers any relief. This budget process has been abomination budget--the only thing we do know: IT SPENDS MORE.

ICYMI: This bill is an invitation to create a fraud factory by tying voter registration to a system already plagued by waste, fraud, and abuse. Instead of strengthening safeguards, it weakens them.

New Yorkers deserve secure elections and common-sense protections. I VOTED NO.

[Steve Rhoads @SenatorRhoads]

Deal or No Deal? Albany already burned through $20 Billion and the budget still isn’t done. 10 extenders later… dysfunction is the only thing on schedule.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to donate blood at our recent drive with the Levittown Fire Department. Your generosity and willingness to give made a meaningful difference—together, we collected enough blood to help save up to 330 lives.

New York is failing on energy policy — and New Yorkers are paying the price 💸

I spoke on the floor last week about out-of-control energy costs:
📈 ~50% higher for households
🏢 ~60% higher for businesses

Stop repeat offenders. 🚫
Pass the PROTECT Act (S.2282A). ⚖️

The PROTECT Act restores judicial discretion to:
• End reckless bail laws ⚠️
• Protect communities 🏘️
• Hold repeat offenders accountable 🔁
• Put public safety first 🛡️

The future of law enforcement is already stepping up—and they’re right here in Nassau County!

These young leaders are putting in the work, serving their communities, and proving what’s possible through the @NassauCountyPD Explorers Program.

That’s why I introduced the Nassau County Future Protectors Act alongside Senator @SenatorRhoads—a bipartisan, commonsense plan to strengthen the pipeline, reward dedication, and do it all at zero cost to taxpayers.

From Explorers to distinguished law enforcement professionals—this program works. Now it’s time to invest in it. Let’s get this across the finish line. Let’s pass the Nassau County Future Protectors Act! 🚔

[Steve Rhoads @SenatorRhoads]

There’s still time to donate! 👇

[NYS Senate Republicans @nysenategop]

NYS consistently ranks among the least affordable states in America. leading to heavy outward migration. @SenatorRhoads has proposed the largest tax cut in State history (S.9110) which would benefit EVERY SINGLE NEW YORKER.
