Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C,I—Pulaski )released the following statement today following the release of Unshackle Upstate’s scorecards for legislators. Barclay scored 100%. Unshackle Upstate is a pro-taxpayer, pro-business advocacy organization that seeks to revitalize our state.

“I'm pleased to receive this distinction from Unshackle Upstate. We must continue to improve our economy and create more jobs. Having on-time budgets and reducing our taxes are legitimate ways the legislature can help. This year, we reduced estate taxes and accelerated the phase-out of 18-a—an energy tax which is passed down to all energy consumers. I look forward to continuing to support and sponsor measures that can help reduce the cost of doing business in this state and create more jobs in the upcoming legislative session.”
