E-Mail from Assembly GOP Leader Sam Blakeslee to His Caucus

We broke our Big 5 meeting just a few moments ago. It’s clear that we are very close to obtaining as good a deal as we are likely to get given the state of negotiations and the leverage available to us with unified rep caucuses and a sympathetic governor.

There remain a few important outstanding questions and no deal is yet inked.

However, it is now time for us to meet as a caucus and review everything we understand will be in the deal to ensure we can deliver the votes prior to making any public announcement that the deal is “done”.

We will hold caucus at noon tomorrow to review the components of the tentative agreement and identify the last outstanding issues to be resolved. 

The best news – NO TAXES
