Senator O'Mara's Online Poll: Is Senate on right track with new jobs plan?
Albany, N.Y., January 25—The State Senate has kicked off the 2011 legislative session with the approval of a new job creation and tax relief strategy being called the “Job Creation and Taxpayer Protection Act.”
Now O’Mara, who co-sponsors the measure, wants to know what the residents of his 53rd District think about the Senate’s new plan. The comprehensive strategy seeks to jump-start the upstate economy and help the state dig out of its current economic crisis through a series of short- and long-term actions focused on private-sector job growth, state spending control, and regulatory reform.
“There’s no denying that challenge No. 1 is the state’s immediate budget deficit. But we also have to begin putting in place a foundation for long-term fiscal responsibility and sustained economic growth. In the Senate we’re determined that Albany takes a new approach to economic growth and fiscal responsibility,” O’Mara said.
