TAKE ACTION TODAY!

Help us build a better business climate in New York.

In the last 20 years New York has become one of the most expensive places to live, work and run a business.  In that time, New York has raised taxes, created a culture of out of control state spending, increased regulatory burdens, and stood by as thousands of New York businesses have closed, moved out of state or endured economic hardships that have forced them to reduce their investment in our economy and eliminate private-sector jobs. 

How can you help?

In 2010 The Business Council PAC endorsed now Governor Andrew Cuomo and many candidates who have helped change the conversation in the Capitol from “spend, spend, spend” to fiscal responsibility, economic development and jobs, jobs, jobs.   

Please consider making a contribution to The Business Council Political Action Committee and together we can help elect people who support responsible governing and our core principles: lowering taxes; reducing the cost of health care; reducing state spending; containing local property taxes; and removing barriers to new investment and job growth.
