The 3 Principles

1. Get our Financial House in Order

"The NY State government has lived beyond its means for over a decade. When the economy boomed, we spent nearly every tax dollar and then borrowed more." - Rick Lazio

2. Get Back Into Business of Job Creation

"I will do everything I can so that the people of New York have more job opportunities. We have so many talented, wonderful people, who live in this state. It is my priority to correct our current economic situation so that we can leave a more hopeful future to our children and grandchildren." - Rick Lazio

3. Return Integrity to the Government

"The time has come to do the people’s business. The time has come to replace state government with a government that this state needs, wants and has earned. New York remains a state of dreams, drive and innovation. We have never quit in the face of any challenge from our past and we must not quit now." - Rick Lazio
