PLAs save money by guaranteeing no strikes or picketing, that correct wages are paid, and that unscrupulous contractors wont victimize the project.

We believe that companies should no longer be able to receive tax breaks if they fail to pay a living wage or consistently violate worker safety, overtime or environmental protection laws. Do you support this? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Economic Development: Do you support, as a condition of receiving economic development assistance, requiring companies to make commitments to provide good jobs (jobs that pay a living wage, provide benefits, etc) and commitments to stay in the community for a certain period of time? ____________________________________ Would you support a requirement that contractors providing services offer employment to displaced workers? _________________________________________________________ Industrial Development Agencies: Industrial Development Agencies are an economic development scheme that should promote job creation and business retention in our communities. When abused, however, IDAs waste taxpayer dollars and do not provide a good return on our public investment, while placing local property taxpayers at risk for questionable business ventures. Should IDAs be more closely monitored and do you support adding clawback provisions when IDAs do not live up to their agreements? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Community Colleges and State Colleges in Westchester and Putnam Counties.
