the purpose of receiving the annual message to the legislature from the
governor of the state of New York I'm delighted to present our governor
Governor Hugh el-kheir
Lieutenant Governor Cuomo speaker Fink a jarred leader Anderson mister controller
mr. Attorney General members of the judiciary members of the
Honorable bodies Reverend layman Bruner ladies and
gentlemen of the state of New York I'm gratified and honored to be before
you as the re-elected governor of the state of New York
today I see a new leadership in the assembly and I congratulate you on your
election and look forward to working closely with you and your colleagues in
the assembly and I welcome the continued leadership in the Senate you have played
a constructive role during the past four years I look forward to the next four
today I also have a new partner friend Lieutenant Governor Mario Cuomo whose
counsel and wisdom and leadership will be so important to me and to the people
of our state during the coming years I
know we are committed to executive and legislative teamwork in the best
interest of our people this past November in the ultimate test of a
democracy the citizens this state gave their approval to our record tour hope
for the future of New York we shall honor their trust with a vision
and effort that is to be expected the leadership of the Empire State two days
ago in my inaugural address to the people of New York I spoke of a new ear
of opportunity and leadership one of confidence in our ability to meet
challenges and to grasp our own future our will has been tested by crisis and
our skills sharpened by adversity we met the test with fortitude we chose a
balanced course we maintained our commitment to excellence now we can see
the results of our efforts when New York was in financial jeopardy our employees
helped us contain the cost of government we went to Washington returned with a
guarantee of survival for the nation's largest city we forged a partnership
with business and labor to find ways to keep jobs and business in New York we
gave local governments the means to maintain their services the incentives
to cut their costs in the face of repeated crises we fulfilled our
responsibility to improve the daily lives of New York
we in the executive and you in the legislature worked in tandem to surmount
the partisan differences even in the election years and in the past two years
we gave New York as a dividend on the hard-earned money they've invested in
taxes we cut taxes by more than 1 billion dollars the largest tax
reduction in our history we forged a new compact with our taxpayers we did what
was right for New York now we begin a new term with a further commitment to
New Yorkers a commitment to gear up our state's economy for the long-term growth
we need to assure a future of pride responsibility and compassion
let no one underestimate the obstacles in our path we face an inflation that
bleeds our citizens as it increased the pressure on our state and local
governments the national remedies that are proposed must complement not
diminish the programs that have helped our cities and counties we must insist
that the federal government meet its responsibilities for the largest city in
this nation this is a matter of survival in this era of limits and economic
uncertainty we can manage our resources and still maintain our commitment to
those in need jobs are what people want and job creation in the private sector
must remain our goal we are focusing our capital resources on transportation and
economic development projects essential to the task of building our economy and
generating jobs we will continue programs and reforms that reinforce the
special status of this state we have begun the reform of our courts we are
committed to making our streets safer we remain determined to meet the needs of
the young elderly disabled and minorities when the nation looks to New
York for leadership we will provide it our highest priority for the year ahead
must be to further our multi-year program of tax reductions we must also
develop an for local governments to hold the line
on spending and taxes we did not need a referendum to convince us that the
burden of taxes on New Yorkers was too high because of our actions in 1977 in
1978 state taxes will be reduced by an additional two hundred and forty eight
million dollars this year in my executive budget I will present the
specifics our proposal which when fully effective will lower state taxes by
additional two hundred and twenty five million dollars in the year ahead it is
my hope and my expectation that our efforts to reduce state taxes will be
joined by state tax stabilization at the local levels but local government
expenditures cannot be controlled without local implementation of the same
type of tough cost control measures we have instituted on the state level
I have asked Lieutenant Governor Cuomo to develop guidelines for local
government expenditure growth we will provide incentives for control of local
expenditures unfortunately the economic progress
promised by state tax reductions is threatened by a severe national
inflation I am heartened by the president's resolve to use all the
resources at his command to combat inflation the national perspective a
break is required on both prices and wages but I'm compelled to remind our
leaders in Washington and what may be fruitful for the nation as a whole may
be irresponsible if blindly and harshly applied to our state what Washington
must realize is that our state as a government and as an economy has not
contributed to inflation since we are not the cause of inflation simply
applying a stern national remedy here in New York will lead only to further
unemployment and increased human misery our state in our region require a
countervailing approach to national actions against inflation I will
work with my fellow governors and mayors of the Northeast with our
representatives in Washington to assure that the president's anti-inflation
policies are equitably applied we will also work with Washington strengthen our
regional partnership in the coalition of Northeast Governors a major objective of
the Coalition has been the establishment of an energy corporation of the
Northeast that corporation in kono would help our region become less reliant on
OPEC oil I will work toward passage of necessary legislation at the federal and
state level this year we can take pride the tremendous economic progress we have
made here in New York the last three years we added more than 150,000
private-sector jobs our unemployment rate was above 10 percent it has
declined to nearly 7 percent we made changes in the business climate in this
state that many thought were not possible but our successes must not lead
to complacency this year I will propose greater flexibility in the Urban
Development Corporation's bonding authority to take advantage of the best
development prospects cooperating with the state and New York City
the Port Authority will join force with the private sector to raise 1 billion
dollars to build and operate industrial parks in the New York metropolitan area
this will result in 30,000 new jobs and help stabilize the manufacturing base of
the New York metropolitan region I will create a council on international
business to serve as a catalyst for increased foreign business activity
among New York firms our successful programs to expand tourism and
recreational development have achieved wide acclaim the I Love New York
campaign has succeeded and will be enhanced for some areas in New York
State casino gambling offers the potential for increased tourism and job
creation I will establish a blue-ribbon panel of leaders in various fields to
examine the impact of casino gambling and make recommendations as to its form
in New York we must also expedite passage of the necessary legislation to
build the Convention Center in New York City
each day of delay is a costly impediment to the people and economy of New York
City I urge your speedy approval of that legislation last year the Empire State
Games brought together our finest young athletic talent in the state they will
be held again this year and we cannot forget the imminence of one of the truly
great events to take place in the Empire State we are on time and we will be
ready for one of the most spectacular sporting events in the world the 1980
Winter Olympics at Lake Placid New York as we review our achievements and our
plans for improving the state's economy we must indeed recognize the critical
role of Labor working not as antagonists but as partners with business and with
government Labor's been a steadfast supporter in efforts to achieve economic
growth and prosperity in New York we welcome that partnership both labor and
business depend on an effective transportation system our railroads are
a critical part of that system New York City and Long Island remain cut off from
modern rail freight service because of restrictions on rail lines serving the
area these obstacles must be removed I will direct that we use available Port
Authority funds for 25 million dollar program of rail access improvements also
important to our economy and our mass transit system would serve our cities
and enable our commercial centers to grow we have today the need that must be
recognized today I will reaffirm my pledge we will hold mass transit fares
of present levels throughout this state
in 1978 I announced a six-year state/federal and Port Authority program
to provide more than 800 million dollars of mass transportation improvements in
the New York metropolitan area over and above our normal state transit
improvement programs legislation to make this possible must be enacted we also
understand the contribution of our highway system however any new road that
we construct must pass us a stringent test it must contribute to the overall
economic development of our state one project which clearly meets that test is
the Westway a project which will not only improve transportation access in
New York City but contribute to the beauty and revitalization of the
Westside while creating and preserving critically needed jobs it is one of the
most important economic and affirmative action programs in the history of the
city and will be consistent with all environmental laws and regulation
attention to our economy need not be in conflict with the protection of our
environment the problems associated with the dumping and abandonment of toxic
chemicals and waste sites across the state are a primary concern I will
direct the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Department of
Health to prepare a comprehensive strategy for programs and funding for a
federal state local approach to the problems of hazardous waste the people
are justly concerned the state is vigorously meeting the problem the
federal government must not ignore it essential to a relationship of trust
between a government and its citizens is justice that is Swift and fair in 1976 I
proposed constitutional amendments and centralized Court Administration merit
appointment of judges and revision of the procedures for judicial discipline
voter approval of these constitutional amendments has brought real court reform
to New York reform that is symbolized by my appointment of the new Chief Judge of
the Court of Appeals this year the effort for court reform must be
continued I will again propose that we present to the people constitutional
amendments providing for merit selection of well-qualified judges to all courts
of this state and establishing a single statewide Trial Court my executive
Advisory Committee on sentencing has conducted a study of the sentencing
function and structure in New York State the report is currently undergoing
review I will work with you on the legislative recommendations that will
result however I feel that we must move in one area of sentencing immediately
people want security from fear I therefore ask for your support in
passage of a bill providing life sentence without parole for certain
capital crimes
it is now time to deal with a real issue of protecting our people by putting
willful killers away without any prospect for release but we must realize
all our efforts to reform and effectively manage our criminal justice
system will be fruitless if we do not address the needs of our young people
last year at my request a major new program to assist communities in
developing and preventing programs for juvenile delinquency and expanding youth
development services was funded I will ask for an expanse of this effort so we
can meet this progressive commitment to our youth for productive and meaningful
lives this year it's my intention to further improve the management of our
state government I will transform the present state division of the budget
into an office for management and budget in the 50th year of the executive budget
process in New York State it is appropriate to streamline and improve
the central budget Budget and Management Office I will ask for your approval
for the creation of an office of state planning to provide the state with a
central planning capability during my first term I directed the State
Transportation Department to undertake a management study of the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority this study is now complete
and its recommendations are already being carried out on the Long Island
Rail Road we intend to carry out other
recommendations that will be made for the other MTA affiliates serving New
York City and suburban counties as part of my overall write reorganization
effort I will propose restructuring of agency responsibilities relating to
housing development management and policy
I will also create a state Ombudsman service to assist citizens in
identifying and contacting the appropriate agencies and programs that
have been created to meet their needs this office will be led by Lieutenant
Governor Cuomo who was an effective Ombudsman while Secretary of State to
work with the Ombudsman service I will propose the creation of an office of pub
advocate to be a constant watchdog to ensure that the public interest will at
all times be adequately enforce Phillippe represented I've spoken many
times of the need of public financing of campaigns in New York State I asked for
such legislation my first annual message I remain firmly resolved that we should
have public financing of campaigns in New York State
I will also propose a major reform in the state civil service system to
provide employees with incentives and promotional opportunities not provided
by the existing system the public demands full financial disclosure from
top level personnel in government I will submit legislation to require such
disclosure I've already signed an executive order to insist that we take
the lead in affirmative action programs
we will continue our commitment to put the full Morrow an institutional force
of our government behind the legitimate rights of women and minorities
during 1978 the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution designating
1979 as the International Year of the child it is a reaffirmation of its
commitment to the Declaration of Rights of the Child and calls for all nations
to examine their policies and programs on behalf of children I have established
a state commission on the International Year of the child to assure that New
York's long history of promoting progress for all of our children
continues into the decade ahead all too often young people fail to
achieve their full potential because the special services they need are not
available we will see comprehensive school based services to such children
last year at my request you provided support for state program to address the
problem of teenage pregnancy this year I will expand these counseling residential
and planning programs to meet the needs of our troubled teenagers the health of
our citizens will continue to be my first and our highest priority I am
proud of the record we have achieved in last four years during that period the
state has become the national model for an efficient health care system with
leadership of my special assistant dr. Cayle for health affairs we affords a
unique partnership between state officials and health workers in the
private sector that has made government responsive to the health needs of all
our citizens I will shortly deliver my annual state of the health message which
will contain major program proposals for 1979 but there are some points I wish to
emphasize today my primary emphasis will continue to be education and prevention
I will ask the legislature for permanent extension of legislation which
authorized us to regulate hospital charges the office of mental health will
improve inpatient care and its psychiatric centers and the department
of mental retardation will extend the benefits embodied in the Willowbrook
consent decree in 1975 we inherited a welfare program
characterized by excessive cost and inefficiency we cut welfare and
eligibility in half we cut welfare overpayments we saved money without
reducing needed assistance in the Medicaid program we contain costs and
maintained medical services I will expand these efforts the needs of our
older citizens must always be a major concern I will propose further tax
reductions for the elderly through expansion of the property tax circuit
breaker program we enacted last year I
will propose a ten million dollar program to provide private drug
insurance for those elderly citizens earning under $8,000 annually this
program could well become a model for society that once its elderly to live
lives with dignity and health we know that extensive and necessary programs
for our children cannot be provided without a fair and fiscally responsible
system of school finance we must respond to the ruling in the Levittown case with
a fundamental reform of our school finance system the Board of Regents has
joined me in appointing a broadly-based task force to propose a strategy for
reform my executive budget will contain a significant increase in state aid to
education as well as several proposals to reduce the present inequities we must
also strengthen the City University through changes in its finance and
governance structures to reflect the city's capabilities and the role of this
state I propose over the next four years the state assume the full funding of the
University senior colleges this is sound educational policy and the key element
in a larger program of financial aid to New York City unique needs and
opportunities all urban areas demand special state commitments I will issue
an executive order creating an urban affairs cabinet chaired by lieutenant
governor Cuomo to coordinate state policy
affecting urban areas the key to urban revitalization is to encourage private
sector investment in our urban areas we must remove the obstacles which
currently discourage such investments in recent weeks I signed into law a bill
making it illegal to deny mortgages solely on the basis of geographic
location I proposed an overhaul for the state's fair plan to make affordable
business and homeowners insurance coverage available in distressed urban
areas I will also propose strong measures to
combat arson a crime which each year destroys the homes businesses and lives
of too many New Yorkers I will propose a new state technical
assistance program to strengthen assistance to local community
development efforts with these and other tools we can begin to target special
areas for urban development our first four years tested all of us and through
teamwork and determination we overcame long odds our state has earned a place
of national leadership and recognition these next four years provide us with a
new opportunity to make government more responsive to the people's needs we have
the tools that we forged and adversity the wisdom born of that experience and
the will to take on the future I ask you now to join me in the undertaking before
us let us reach beyond simple survival and expedience the challenges facing us
demand leadership and excellence we in New York can and will provide what is
required and let our inspirations not just our budgets be the measure of our
achievements therefore let the nation look to New York today in the work we
begin together god bless you and i look forward to the years ahead thank you
