State Senator Tom O’Mara of Big Flats Wednesday joined his Senate Republican colleagues to urge Governor Cuomo and the state’s Democratic legislative leaders to reject new taxes, enact comprehensive regulatory reform, and take other steps in the 2019-2020 state budget to “reopen the door to new jobs and turn New York State’s business climate from one of the worst in the nation to one of America’s best.” In releasing their “Re-Open New York for Business” strategy, O’Mara and the Senate GOP are targeting a set of what they call commonsense solutions to overhaul the state’s business environment. The Senate Republican plan arrives in the aftermath of Amazon’s recent announcement that it was pulling its project out of New York, a move being widely blamed on opposition to Amazon’s plans from leading state Senate Democrats.
