The North Country has the solutions to
Albany’s biggest problems.
Last year you helped me pass an on-time, balanced budget, tougher ethics laws and job-boosting economic credits. Let’s replicate those same successes this year.
Do you have your own ideas about how we can fix Albany? I’d love to hear them. Give me a call
at (315) 493-3909 or email me at blankenbushk@assembly.state.ny.us.
North Country common-sense solutions to Albany’s problems:
• Relieve Local Gov’t and Taxpayers from Unfunded Mandates:
It doesn’t make sense that 9 mandates make up 90% of county budgets.New York State needs to pick up the bill for all the programs and initiatives that our local governments, schools and taxpayers are required to fund.
• Lift Job-Killing Regulations:
It doesn’t make sense to have over 49,000 pages of regulations.Small businesses can hardly breathe, let alone grow jobs underneath all the pressures from regulations, fees, fines and taxes.
• Reduce Costly Government:
It doesn’t make sense that within a decade the budget grew by $43 billion.We need to trim down government and make it more efficient.
