Veterans Day Message from State Comptroller DiNapoli

On Tuesday, we honor the men and women who have bravely served in our country’s Armed Forces. With crises and conflicts continuing around the world, this Veterans Day we must remember the sacrifices countless Americans have made on our behalf, putting their lives on the line and leaving family and loved ones behind to protect our freedoms. From the patriots who fought in the Revolutionary War and built our nation to those now stationed in troubled regions around the globe and are protecting us from modern day threats, we owe our liberty and prosperity to these brave individuals.

DiNapoli. Tax collections through the first six months declined 2.1 percent, or $767.9 million, from the same period last year.
