Unshackle Upstate Submits Comments Regarding Small Businesses to Joint Legislative Hearing
May 13th, 2020
Unshackle Upstate, a pro-taxpayer education and advocacy organization, submitted written comments to the Legislature regarding the economic impacts of the COVID-19 on small businesses across New York State.
“Unshackle Upstate appreciates the opportunity to submit testimony to legislators about the extraordinary challenges confronting Upstate’s small businesses,” said Michael Kracker, executive director of Unshackle Upstate. “While understanding those challenges is important, taking meaningful action that will actually help employers re-open and recover from this crisis is essential. Governor Cuomo and legislators must make aggressive improvements to New York’s harsh business climate and reject new measures that would add to the burden of employers. With more than 1.6 million New Yorkers out of work, we must work as quickly as possible to get our economy back on track.”
