Issues
ECONOMY
-New York State is the highest taxed, most regulated, least business friendly state in America under Governor Cuomo.
-Rob Astorino will launch an aggressive, pro-growth and pro-jobs economic agenda to revitalize New York’s stagnant economy.
-He’ll deliver bold reforms to New York’s antiquated tax code and regulatory system, cut spending in real terms and reduce the cost of doing business in New York. That’s how you grow an economy — not with empty TV ads.
EDUCATION
The current governor famously once said he would be the student’s lobbyist. He has been anything but. Whether it was disproportionately using education funding cuts to balance the state budget, rushing Common Core implementation or turning his back on thousands of lower-income students when he broke his promise to deliver on the Education Investment Tax Credit, Cuomo has not delivered for children. Nothing is more important than a good education. It’s as vital as a loving, safe, healthy and happy home for a child. The Astorino/Moss Education Plan seeks to bring control of education back to the local level with great input from teachers and parents, to develop the best education possible for our children where they are prepared to compete in both the global economy and life.
ETHICS
County Executive Astorino has made Albany’s corruption a key tenet of his campaign and has frequently criticized Mr. Cuomo for his alleged interference in the Moreland Commission, where he reportedly tampered with criminal investigations involving political allies, prompting an investigation by the U.S. Attorney. Mr. Astorino has also cited Mr. Cuomo’s protection of Speaker Silver, who has helped cover up sex crimes in the state Assembly, as well as the Mr. Cuomo’s recent scandal involving potential property tax evasion as further proof the governor has directly contributed to New York’s corruption problems.
