Legislative Memos

Public policy is a complicated business in New York state. During each two-year cycle, tens of thousands of legislative bills are introduced for consideration. Each year, Upstate United issues legislative memos that explain our position on a variety of the bills. How legislators advocate and vote on these bills is the basis of the scorecard that we release at the end of each cycle. The objective: To help taxpayers and job creators cast educated votes by demonstrating where their elected officials stood on the items in Upstate United’s pro-growth agenda.
