The Working Families Party is not happy with the state budget currently being voted on in Albany.

In a critical statement that breaks with many of its allies, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, the labor-backed party’s state director accused the deal of bolstering “the 1% and Wall Street corporations” by offering tax rebates while missing an opportunity to “fix a broken political system” through comprehensive campaign finance reform.

“The citizens of New York deserve better. We will continue to work for a democracy and economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected,” the state director, Bill Lipton, wrote.
