“It never made sense to offer the richest man in the world billions of dollars in corporate welfare to locate his company in the most prosperous city in America. If the governor offers the same incentives and tax relief to hardworking men and women who are already investing in our communities and fighting to keep their neighbors on the payroll, maybe he can prevent another million people from leaving the state. Working with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk makes the governor feel important. What’s actually important is cutting taxes and reforming regulations across the board so that Upstate New York can thrive again,” said Blankenbush.
