Business Council Endorses Kenneth LaValle in the 1st State Senate District

ALBANY, NY (10/26/2012)(readMedia)-- The Business Council of New York State, Inc. is endorsing Kenneth LaValle in the 1st State Senate District.

"Ken LaValle 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, Ken has been a champion of pro-growth policies and will continue to focus on those policies when he is reelected Senator," said Heather Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State, Inc.

Ken 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.

Ken successfully fought to eliminate the onerous MTA tax on local employers. He supported the Wage Theft Prevention act and helped fight to pass wage withholding legislation that helps both employers and their employees.

Ken 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.
