New York spends over $8 billion a year on corporate tax breaks in the name of economic development.  But with unemployment hovering near 8%, and inequality at an all-time high, it doesnít seem to be working.  While weíve heard from our elected officials for some time that they have a plan for putting New Yorkers back to work, itís been awfully hard to find it.  

The Cuomo administration is proposing to create Regional Economic Development Councils to serve as New Yorkís main jobs program, but we've heard few details about how they will actually work. Our leaders need to hear from you that itís time they transform the stateís wasteful and ineffective economic development system from a funnel for corporate tax giveaways into a focused, outcomes-oriented job-creation program.
