2018 NY Governor's race: on Budget & Economy


Marc Molinaro: First step to economic development is competent leadership

Republican gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro has many ideas for improving central New York's economy and ensuring residents can stay here instead of moving to other places. But he would start with one concept: competently running state government. For economic development, he prefers a more local approach. Under his leadership, the state would work with communities to "define what their economic goals are and then really empower them to achieve them."

Cynthia Nixon: A budget bullies people when it shortchanges opportunities

The Sex and the City star announced her candidacy a week ago and has repeatedly hit Cuomo's record over his eight years in office. "But worst of all, his budgets bully our children and our families by shortchanging them, by boxing them in, by denying them the opportunities they are owed." She knocked Albany for being run by men: specifically the legislative leaders and Cuomo who are meeting daily behind closed doors to hash out a budget agreement--including new laws on sexual harassment.
