A Reality-Based Budget
- Require the state to allocate more resources for economic development. Currently, New York devotes less than 1 percent of its total budget to job creation and economic development.
- Partner colleges and universities like Nassau Community College and SUNY Stony Brook 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 over- regulate businesses out of our state.
- Ed understands business innovators today know more about growing jobs and their businesses than 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.
