As an Assemblyman, Greg Ball worked proactively with local businessmen and women to help reverse New York’s openly hostile business climate. Part of Greg’s focus as a Senator will be to bring jobs to the Hudson Valley, but just as important will be Greg’s ability to work with local business owners to keep jobs in the local area and to help businesses expand. We need both a long and short term approach to creating jobs in the Hudson Valley. Unfortunately, many of our communities are suffering from residential overdevelopment, meanwhile many of our towns also have an insufficient tax base created by poor and haphazard planning. Greg believes that we must embrace commercial and mixed use developments that focus on environmentally friendly, transit oriented development. Greg knows that small business owners are the backbone of America and of New York. Senator Ball will work to reward companies that create jobs in the Hudson Valley, and penalize those that send them offshore. He will continue to fight for us in Albany to make sure that stimulus dollars sent from our wallets are used to employ New Yorkers on New York projects, and not to fund budget gaps.
