Over a $1B of taxpayer funded #Upstate economic development contracts were rigged by top state officials. Since then #Albany has passed ZERO meaningful #CleanContracting reforms. NY taxpayers deserve to know what businesses are getting $4B in econ dev subsidies. #DatabaseOfDeals

Us on the @Amazon LIC deal-fail: subsidies didn't matter in AMz coming or going - Newark/NJ offered 2X -- but deal drama should spur re-think of $10B/Year NYS and local govt biz handouts and need to pass #DatabaseOfDeals #CleanContracting https://t.co/ixrbaDEEId

On this, we agree w #HowardZemsky @EmpireStateDev -- Creating a real #DatabaseOfDeals should mean #ESD has to produce far fewer reports to legislature. Database will provide data now in reports. Real= uniform, comprehensive #JobData. @cbcny @FiscalPolicy00 @GoodJobsFirst

The press finds it too boring to cover, but we agree w @NYGovCuomo on many things. For instance "Tighter Econ Dev Rules." We hope the governor joins with @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority and puts #DatabaseOfDeals and @NYSComptroller restored oversight into law. https://t.co/CGEHkXN5cR

Much to like in @NYGovCuomo budget, even better because @NYSenDems @NYSA_Majority agree. We appreciate #FairElex and Gov moving on #CleanContacting: #DatabaseOfDeals -- which we'd like in law. And restoring @NYSComptroller pre-approval of @SUNY, #SUNYRF, @NYS_OGSCentral

Just re-watching #LGDebate, and struck by the absurdity of Kathy Hochul's claims. She said that the changes to ensure transparency and disclosure on economic development "have already been made." NOPE. What about the #DatabaseofDeals, Kathy?

56% of New Yorkers are white. Why are 90% of Regional Council leaders white?? @MaketheRoadAct rpt w/ @FiscalPolicy00 shows how NY economic development funds shortchange communities of color. #REDCsoWhite #DatabaseofDeals READ @nytimes story here: https://t.co/EozW5FHEcD @BxEU4J

Is $900k too much per job? This is yet another reason we need #databaseofdeals. Shouldn't we know if we are getting a good return on our investment? @FiscalPolicy00 @ReinventAlbany @cbcny @MaketheRoadNY Great reporting @char_keith @ipostnews https://t.co/AEOTGGo7d8

.@nygocuomo has not heeded his own call to action regarding eliminating conflicts of interest in the procurement process, spurred by the Buffalo Billion case, which is now on trial. He says it's the Legislature's fault. https://t.co/ZT8pscmkcn

If the Governor wasn't engaged we might have been able to get #ProcurementIntegrityAct and #DatabaseofDeals passed. Why block transparency and accountability measures if you have nothing to hide? https://t.co/dOelz2hVP6

Assembly Speaker @CarlHeastie felt that Gov. @AndrewCuomo was engaged in the legislative process. “The governor was always engaged, even when he wasn’t here in the capitol … I was never concerned about the governor’s involvement or lack of involvement.”

A shame @nytopinion has written zero editorials on #Albany issues since May 9th Schneiderman resignation. Paper of Record has nothing to say about many things, including #DatabaseOfDeals #ProcurementIntegrity responding to biggest $1.3B bid rigging scandal in state history.

Let's pass the #ProcurementIntegrityAct and #DatabaseOfDeals today. There is literally no reason not to. What's the hold up you ask? I got a chance to break it down with @sarbetter on @CapPressRoom https://t.co/uRNBHGtKb6
