Cuomo convened the mandate relief council in 2011, and during his first three years in office has helped localities by capturing cost increases in the Medicaid
program and taking over its administration from counties, giving school districts more flexibility in how they set up bus transportation and imposing a less -
generous pension plan for newly hired workers.
The battle comes after the Cuomo administration has been pressured to help counties more on costs mandated by Albany, an area where the governor's office insists it's already done the hard work, taking on the costs for the growth in the
program while also pushing through a new, less
generous pension tier five years ago.
At the same time, the older generation has enjoyed more
generous tax breaks, such as income splitting, along with a truly amazing rise in government benefits from such
programs as the Canada
Pension Plan, Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
