ALBANY— The Business Council of New York State, Inc. is launching a radio campaign to support fiscal reform to put New York back to work.
“Throughout last year, The Business Council has campaigned for our Five to Survive fiscal reform agenda to create jobs and put New York on the road to economic recovery,” said Kenneth Adams, president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State, Inc. “This radio campaign is a continuation of that effort.”

“That's the long awaited sound of New Yorkers getting back to work.”

“But New York's economy will only recover if Albany is serious this year about creating jobs and reforming the way state government works.”
“Governor Cuomo is right New York is at a crossroads. He is right when he says, “New York has no future as the tax capital of the nation." To build a brighter future we need real reform. We need to cap local property taxes, with real mandate relief, cap state spending, lower the tax burden, reform public employee pensions and stop borrowing to pay operating costs.
