Business Council Endorses Cathy Young in the 57th State Senate District

ALBANY, NY (10/25/2012)(readMedia)-- The Business Council of New York State, Inc. is endorsing Cathy Young in the 57th State Senate District.

"Cathy Young understands that to put New York on a path to economic recovery we need to lower taxes and lower the cost of doing business in this state. As a member of the Senate, Cathy has been a champion of pro-growth policies and will continue to focus on those policies when she is reelected Senator," said Heather Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State, Inc.

As a member of the Senate, Cathy supported much of The Business Council's economic reform agenda which includes the enactment of a property tax cap; mandate relief and tax reform; public employee pension reforms and limiting government borrowing.

Cathy will continue to fight to enact a spending cap, reduce the cost of government, eliminate the 2 percent energy tax on utilities and reduce the cost of health care by repealing health care taxes.

Cathy scored 90 percent on the Business Council's 2012 Voters' Guide for his votes in the Senate.

The 2012 Voters Guide measures New York State legislators' commitment to promoting fiscal reform and improving the state's economic climate by scoring their votes on key legislation during the 2012 session.

This endorsement comes through the Business Council's Political Action Committee.
