The opportunity to improve the business climate in New York is here.
— Assemblyman Dave McDonough
A Reality-Based Budget
- Put the focus back on job creation so all New Yorkers can get back to work. Currently, New York devotes less than 1 percent of its total budget to job creation and economic development.
- Partner colleges and universities like SUNY Stony Brook, Nassau Community College, Hofstra and Adelphi with manufacturers and businesses to provide students with the job skills they will need to succeed – and get these leaders of tomorrow working locally.
- Build on the success of Recharge NY to continue offering lower energy rates which will help businesses create jobs and grow.
Spending Discipline
- A smaller, leaner, more efficient government will help cut the cost of doing business in New York and allow employers to do what they do best: create jobs.
- Fix New York’s tax code to make it simpler, fairer and flatter for all businesses. Albany cannot continue to overregulate businesses out of our state.
- From working with small businesses in the private sector, Dave understands business innovators today know more about growing jobs and their businesses than do Albany politicians. We must get state government out of the way of job creation.
An Innovation Economy
- Encourage and support innovative energy and environmental technology development.
- Promote green jobs and alternative sources of power to tap into new markets and increase our energy independence.

I want to bring your ideas to Albany. What are your ideas for job growth and economic development on Long Island? How do you best believe state government can play a role in creating opportunities for businesses?
