What they’re saying about Rick Lazio’s plan to build a better New York.

“There isn’t any other candidate running for Governor in New York that has offered a specific plan like Rick Lazio has. His proposals to phase out the corporate tax, starting with a focus on the upstate area and small businesses is smart and reflects a fundamental understanding of what needs to be done to revitalize New York’s economy as a whole. His proposal to index income tax brackets to inflation is a no-brainer and will not only reduce the pressure on working families, but it will provide relief for families whose real wages have been reduced by this ‘secret tax’.”

- Glenn Hubbard, Dean of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business

“This is a plan Conservatives will love. When the Conservative Party endorsed Rick Lazio, they did so because we knew he had the new ideas and was the new leader that could bring sweeping and fundamental change to Albany. He has the unique experience of having been in both the public sector and the private sector, and I believe that is demonstrated here. He has laid out a roadmap – now we’ve got to show New Yorkers the way.”

- Mike Long, Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party

“Rick’s plan for education in New York State is absolutely promising. He recognizes the need to lift the cap on charter schools, and has sound recommendations for putting SUNY and CUNY on a firm financial footing while enhancing their academic performance. Because he recognizes that our schools and campuses must deliver higher quality, more cost-effective education for all students – and will fight for this goal – he is exactly the type of educational leader New Yorkers require. At a time when our future, and our children’s, is at stake, Rick Lazio’s plan for the next generation stands out.”

  - Candace de Russy, Education Advisor and former member of the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York

“Rick Lazio keenly understands that New York is likely to be a prime target of terrorists and that the citizens of New York need robust protection. He rightly opposes holding civilian trials of terrorist suspects in New York courtrooms. He is commendably committed to educating New Yorkers about the ideologies and goals of those waging an asymmetrical war against the United States.”

- Professor Walid Phares, International Terrorism Expert

“What Rick Lazio has done here is offer bold and new solutions to New York’s fiscal nightmare that will put the Empire State back on the path to prosperity. Some of these are simple, like adopting performance based budgeting and reporting the results online. He’s recognized that the state workforce must shrink for New York to achieve stability. Most importantly, he’s offering specifics on what taxes he will reduce as Governor – something that every taxpayer large and small should know when they go to the polls this November.”

- Cesar Conda, Economic Analyst and Founding Principal of Navigators Global LLC

"Rick Lazio is the only candidate offering a bold and specific plan to reform New York’s inefficient and costly Medicaid system. New York spends 73% more per recipient than the country as a whole and 25% more than California, which covers twice as many people. Rick will add incentives to reduce costs, fix doctor incentives by employing managed care, and implement means testing to make sure the deserving are the ones getting the services. These are exactly the kinds of reforms New York needs if we’re ever going to get our fiscal house in order.”
