Legislature passed a $ 1.8 billion income tax cut, agriculture tax cuts, and a 12% cut in state government spending. He cast 85 votes against tax increases, and supported funding for education, prescription drug coverage, and employment tax credits. Miller sponsored legislation for a cap on state property taxes at 0% annual growth, a 0% state tax on income from capital gains, a 0% state tax on estate transfers, and a 0% state tax on corporate profits. He also sponsored legislation to eliminate unfunded state-mandated spending through local government levy, and to limit
Members' terms of service. Miller challenged state taxes on cell phones, health insurance, auto insurance, gasoline, and day care services as unbalanced burdens on families at the lowest end of the income scale. Miller consistently voted against budget and spending bills he viewed as political, frequently asserting that business grants and economic development funds were part of the political funding mechanism incumbents of both parties used to retain control of their positions in State government. Miller voted against the State's same-sex marriage bill, arguing that the Biblical parameters for marriage are not subject to modification by the state. Miller was twice recognized as the most independent Member of the State Legislature by the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was also recognized as the most conservative Member by the New York State Conservative Party, which together placed him to the political right of both the Democrat Majority and the moderate Republican Assembly minority.

Miller also worked on Capitol Hill for Representative Jim Nussle of Iowa, a member of the Gang of Seven House Members who pressed the House Banking scandal, also known as the Congressional Check Bouncing scandal, in a drive to reform Congressional rules on ethics. During the 1992 Presidential campaign, believing the conservative wing of the Republican Party could be over-run by Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, Miller brought considerable support for former Reagan speech writer Patrick Buchanan, which quickly ended Duke's campaign and influence.
