This time Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno is backing my proposal to encourage the purchase of home computers by creating a sales tax moratorium every year on the purchase of home computers. While I believe Senator Bruno can expect the enthusiastic support from Senate Democrats, I wish he would have acted on our proposal when it was first introduced two years ago. Studies have shown that New York ranks in the bottom third among states with home computers. The State must do everything it can to prepare New Yorkers for the challenges in this new information economy.
Personal computers are now an integral part of education on all levels.
Unfortunately, we have lost two valuable years in encouraging home computer use. Sign the guest book to receive periodic updates from the Democratic Conference.
