Issue Position: Upstate vs Downstate
Issue Position
Issues: Government Operations
We Can Work Together.
Some representatives choose to fight New York City and call for a split between Upstate and Downstate. Smart representatives will embrace New York City and instead focus on partnership for the benefit of Upstate. The fact remains that Upstate receives a higher percentage of NYS tax dollars than Downstate because of the corporate taxes generated in New York City. We are truly stronger together. We need a new voice in Albany who will build relationships with Downstate representatives so they can better understand our needs and vote to bring resources north of Westchester County.
