For the second year in a row, Amy broke with the leadership of her own party and voted against the Assembly's budget resolution, which was based on borrowing $2 billion to balance the state budget.  Amy strongly advocated for a balanced budget with serious reductions in spending based on accurate projections.  For having the courage to stand up to leadership while fighting for fiscal responsibility, the New York Post named Amy a member of "The New York Democrat Hall of Fame."  (March 26, 2010)   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.
