Statement of Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) in Response to New York Gov. David Paterson’s State of the State Message Today |
"In his State of the State message, Governor Paterson called on his federal partners to ‘quickly reform our system of financial regulation.’ As Chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit and Vice Chair of the House-Senate Joint Economic Committee in the 110th Congress, the Governor will have my strong support in enacting reforms to stabilize our financial markets and restore the confidence of the American people."
“The financial services industry is New York State’s second-largest
employer next to the health care industry. The restoration of
effective financial regulation is critical to the recovery of our state.
“We in Congress know that New York and indeed all 50 states are reeling
in the current fiscal crisis. In the coming days, Congress will be
working to pass a new stimulus bill that will invest in the states and
their infrastructures, and help ease the pain New York is
experiencing.”
