ADVOCATE FOR A STABLE, UNDERSTANDABLE STATE TAX STRUCTURE AND A REGULATORY PROCESS THAT IS NOT UNNECESSARILY ARDUOUS.
Challenge: Societies require taxation and meaningful regulatory laws in order to function. The challenge is finding the right balance that will allow for economic development. Currently, as a result of a complex, inequitable and arbitrary tax system and a costly, sometimes legalistic environmental review process, it is unnecessarily difficult to make a reasonable assessment of the risks or benefits of locating a business in New York.
Advocate for a more equitable, efficient and effective system of taxation and regulation for business.
- Call on the Governor to establish a bi-partisan commission to make recommendations that simplify tax structures in an equitable manner for businesses in the state.
- Continue, strengthen, and implement the collaborative process to streamline the State Environmental Quality Review Act under the leadership of Patterns for Progress and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
- Establish the Hudson Valley as a model region that is willing to test innovations in policy and development strategy, and work to secure funding for technical assistance for such efforts wherever possible.
