Greater Rochester Chamber Statement on Senate Majority One-House Budget Resolution
Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob Duffy said, “New York State is in a period of recovery. With Governor Hochul’s leadership and that of our State Legislature, we are well on the road to building back stronger than ever. Greater Rochester Chamber commends the State Senate for including in their One-House Budget Proposal: tax cuts for small businesses, unprecedented funding for childcare and education, hundreds of millions of dollars to help offset employer premiums for unemployment insurance, and funding to achieve public-private partnerships in expanding broadband. Our goal is and must continue to be spurring the economy and getting people back to work. These funding priorities provide a great deal of support for Upstate and will help to enhance our business community’s ability to hire workers and grow.”
