Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : All have high tax burdens and are "a bit control freak-y." Per the Cato Institute's "Freedom in the 50 States ranks" ("based on the environments they offer for people who care about some combination of entrepreneurship, sexual liberty, gun ownership, homeschooling, and the like"), all three strangle freedoms: "New York comes in dead last at 50," California at 48, Illinois at 37.
50% : They gripe about the state's tax burden, yet defend its school spending, "the country's highest on a per-pupil basis" despite "middling" outcomes.
40% : Jim Tedisco (Schenectady) and Dan Stec (Warren) are raising "procedural" arguments against Gov. Hochul's plan for more charter schools, yet don't "appear to have the same concerns" about proposals they like, reports the Empire Center's Ken Girardin.
