Candidates Must Put Forth Their Plans - Voters Need To Be Informed
Sunday, August 7, 2011 at 9:16AM Steve Bellone, Democratic candidate for Suffolk County Executive, announced his plan for Suffolk County’s economic recovery last week.
The economic plan Bellone calls “Innovate Suffolk” provides a framework for creating a sustainable economy. Bellone’s plan is to pull together industry, research assets and government, creating a job friendly environment here in Suffolk County.
Pointing to the success of North Carolina’s “Research Triangle” Bellone plans to create a similar pro job – pro business environment in Suffolk.
Bellone’s plan calls for:
- Creation of a new Innovation Zoning Category.
- Help for Start Ups
- Expand High – Tech Workforce
- Elimination of Roadblocks
- Reform County Health Department
- Reform County Industrial Development Agency
- Prioritize Business Friendly Environment
- Aggressive Incentives
In today’s political climate candidates are criticized for not communicating ideas. At the national level taking a pledge seems to be an acceptable substitution for governing. It is not! We need visionaries, we need leaders and we need to know how candidates will address issues. This is not the time for a cookie-cutter approach to budget deficits and declining tax revenues. It is refreshing to have Steve Bellone put forth his plan for Suffolk County’s economic recovery and it is time for Republican Candidate Angie Carpenter to do the same.
