Unshackle Upstate Thanks Senate Majority for Acting on Pro-Growth Legislation

May 2nd, 2018

“Earlier today, the Senate passed a series of measures that will help boost job growth and help struggling business owners across the state. We thank Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan, Senator Tom O’Mara and the members of the Senate Majority Conference for their efforts. These bills – especially S.2120A – will provide much needed assistance to the small businesses that are the heartbeat of the Upstate economy.

This relief comes at a critical time. Recent data from the New York State Department of Labor clearly indicate that Upstate employers are struggling to create jobs. With the exception of the New York City area, unemployment is on the rise in every community. The detrimental impact of New York’s harsh business climate – with its high taxes, onerous regulations and costly mandates – is inarguable.

We urge the Assembly and Governor Cuomo to follow the Senate’s lead in providing commonsense relief to struggling businesses and taxpayers.”
