Would-Be Republican Nominee Favors Unicameral Legislature
Rick Lazio Seeks Fundamental Reforms
ALBANY, NY (10/12/2009)(readMedia)-- Rick Lazio, the first announced candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, explains why fundamental reforms to solve New York's problems must start with a constitutional convention and adoption of a unicameral legislature in an interview published today on the Empire Page.
Lazio describes the current two-house legislature as "a system that stifles transparency and lowers the accountability of our elected officials in Albany."
In addition to a unicameral legislature, Lazio favors a "hard property tax ceiling" and will be announcing a plan to "stop crushing mandates being handed down from Albany".
As governor his goals would be "growing jobs, cutting government spending, property taxes, fixing our schools, reforming health care, and improving education."
A link to entire interview with Lazio can be found in the Improving New York section of The Empire Page.
