NYS Budget & Economic Information Resources

NY's budget and economy are in the news, with Governor Paterson's proposal to furlough state workers creating waves, but where can a person learn more, not only about his proposal, but about the state budget and economy? Following are some good information resources:

• NYS Division of the Budget: the offical site, the current proposed budget, previous budgets...
• NYS Data Center: excellent source for stats on the economy and people of NY.
• Capital Confidential: a blog on NY politics from the Albany Times-Union, the capital city newspaper, itself an excellent source of NY political news.
• See also our library guide to NYS.
