Occupy protesters disrupt NYS Leg

Occupy Albany protesters have disrupted a legislative budget hearing with calls for tax fairness and claims that Wall Street pays too little.

They say millionaires should be taxed more and corporations and the rich have too much influence in both state and federal governments.

The protesters also criticized increases in state university tuition.

The interruption in Monday's Senate and Assembly budget hearing on taxes for the upcoming fiscal year lasted less than 10 minutes.

Occupy Albany camped and demonstrated in a city park across from the Capitol for two months until they were evicted on Dec. 22.
