Radio Blitz Calls on Legislature to Pass Economic Development Package

July 22, 2009

Taxpayers First today released a new radio advertisement calling on the County Legislature and Chairwoman Lynn Marinelli to stop stalling critical economic development legislation and swiftly pass a measure backed by Erie County Executive Chris Collins that would jump-start nearly $200 million in economic development projects and create over 500 new jobs in Erie County.

Script:

During the worst recession since the Great Depression, nothing is more important than creating good paying jobs in the Buffalo area.

Unfortunately, the career politicians and their special interests friends say no.  

Career politician and Erie County Legislator Lynn Marinelli says no to good paying jobs for our community to placate her special interest friends.  Marinelli is saying no to legislation that would allow over two hundred million dollars in construction projects by not-for-profit organizations in our area to move forward.  Instead, she insists on raising construction costs by twenty-five percent… increases that will ensure these projects never become a reality.

For too long, career politicians like Lynn Marinelli have stood in the way of real progress in our community for a few thousand dollars in campaign contributions.

Call Lynn Marinelli at 832-0493.  That’s 832-0493.  Tell her to stop catering to the special interests and start creating jobs for taxpayers.
