Spitzer vows to cut taxes to help state

BOLTON LANDING - Gov. Eliot Spitzer on Wednesday renewed his pledge not to raise taxes in an effort to improve the business climate in New York.

“In fact, we will continue reducing taxes,” Spitzer said in a speech opening the annual meeting of The Business Council of New York, the state's most powerful business lobby.

The comments come as the Spitzer administration is crafting its 2008-09 state budget proposal.
