Diz continued, “Who do the policies come from? Albany. They’re very anti-business. As if being a businessman or businesswoman is an evil endeavor. Well, it’s not, I have many friends and relatives who have run businesses. They’re businesspeople and they do very well for themselves individually. But as a whole, as a state, it’s a mess. It’s a pure mess. And I believe it’s done intentionally and it’s coming out from Albany. I have to work with the Democrats within the State Senate and the State Assembly to make this thing much better as we go forward in the future of, the Empire State actually and the people who live here, I want to bring people back into the state. And besides the state of Minnesota has half the Fortune 500 companies. How come we don’t? There’s a reason why we don’t? And I want to get to the bottom of it and put us back on the right track. We have, we were the best state in the union when it comes to economic prosperity. We’re close to dead last now, that’s going to be reversed.”
Diz was talking about bringing business back to New York and the district in particular. But one of the major problems for business in New York is that there are over 7000 regulations on businesses in New York state and business can’t breathe with that much regulation on them and one of the reasons business are leaving New York.
How does he feel he can get businesses back into New York and deal with these regulations?
“I’m glad you brought that up about the 7000 regulations that they actually stifling the big business or small business within the state of New York. We have to look through those laws and get rid of them if the ones that don’t apply anymore, get rid of them. You really have to take a good look at this and bring experts in, even from, even from academia, from the business people who, who are corporations now how to get the state back on its feet because one thing to do.”
You mentioned taxes and the tax base along with the economic issues, NY and California keep battling to see who’s going to be the highest tax state. This is part of the reason people are fleeing states like NY, Illinois, California, and Michigan. What is he going to do to bring down the tax burden on the average NY citizen?
And the plan I like to do is look at, I mean, have a, a top to bottom forensic investigation on how the budget works in New York state. Complete soup to nuts the whole nine yards. What actually happens with the state budget and what does the money go to? That’s one way I want to help out the state.”
He continued, “In other words, actually, again, like I said, I have to bring in people who work with businesspeople. Bring what their recommendations have to say, bring it to Albany, go through a sub-committee and make us into a law. We Used to be a large manufacturing state. Unfortunately, it’s not. They say that no, it’s gone overseas. Well, a lot of people here are still entrepreneurs. We need to, we tap into them.”
Changing gears completely. Safety, law enforcement, police. You’ve got the No Bail laws. We’ve got the migrants coming in committing crimes. They say now every state is a border state because you’ve got these migrants being shipped in by the Biden administration and being sent out all over the country to every state.
One guy because of the No Bail laws, robbed, seven banks was arrested seven times the seventh time he got arrested as he’s being perp walked into the police station, he thanked the Democrats in New York for passing the No Bail laws.
What’s your plan to deal with the, with the No Bail laws and the ideas of defunding the police. Let’s look at the No Bail laws first.
“No Bail laws, a travesty, a travesty. The idea of locking somebody up. You collar them, you bring them down to the station house, you do all the paperwork, the arrest processing and you bring them down to the, prosecutor’s office and later on they get released close to no bail. You know, it’s ridiculous and they go on to a crime again as everybody knows. It’s ridiculous.”
“We hold that to Andrew Cuomo. Thanks man, thanks for nothing. So, we’re back at square one. We have to clean up the state again by criminals and, get rid of that damn law. It’s not a law. It’s, just, it’s just a law to make people commit crime.
