A Record of Results for the
People of the 88th District

Amy Paulin is one of the Assembly’s most effective and productive members. She ranks in the top 10 percent of all Assembly members for sponsoring bills that pass both houses of the Legislature.

Amy is standing up for Westchester families by improving schools, delivering tax relief, fighting crime and keeping families safe. She is committed to providing better access to health care, making government more responsive, and protecting the environment.

Amy also fights hard for the schools in her district, helping increase state aid this year by 11.6% compared to last year and almost $5 million compared to the governor’s original proposal. Each dollar of that increase means better education for our children while avoiding additional increases in local property taxes.

Amy also fought for a state budget that increases enhanced STAR rebates by 40 percent, and increases Aid to Municipalities funding for her district by $13 million over last year. In another important tax relief measure, Amy supports circuit breaker legislation which would limit the amount of property taxes an individual pays based on his/her annual income.

This year Amy successfully worked with the Senate and Governor to establish a criminal penalty for those who prevent people from calling 911, closing a loophole in the law which had only called for criminal penalties for those who damage personal property.

Assemblywoman Paulin also knows how important it is to preserve access to medical care. That is why she authored legislation which has passed in both houses to allow licensed pharmacists to administer flu and pneumonia vaccines. In addition, she voted to expand Child Health Plus to 400 % of the poverty level and to create a new drug discount for the uninsured between the ages of 50 and 64.

Amy is also committed to open government, which is why she authored legislation to prevent legitimate FOIL requests from being denied and to enforce the state Open Meetings Law. Additionally, Amy was the only Westchester legislator to sit on the Education Conference Committee and was instrumental in helping to pass a nearly on time budget even in the wake of the shocking and chaotic resignation of former Governor Eliot Spitzer.
