Senator Catherine Young (R-Olean)
ALBANY – State Senator Catharine Young (R-Olean) has once again received high ratings from two business groups for her record to improve the economic climate and support taxpayers in New York State. Young received a 90 percent rating from The Business Council, the highest awarded in the State Senate. She also was near the top, receiving 88 percent, from Unshackle Upstate.
Both The Business Council and Unshackle Upstate measured state legislators based on their voting records on a variety of bills and the budget. Points were awarded for votes on bills that would help businesses and taxpayers. Unshackle Upstate also awarded points for sponsorship of positive bills and subtracted points for sponsorship of harmful bills. Senator Young sponsored multiple bills to grow jobs and help taxpayers, and she did not sponsor any bills deemed harmful by either group.
Senator Young said that state officials has made great progress in developing a business-friendly climate in New York State over the past two years. But more work is still needed, and she will continue to focus on business growth, job creation, tax relief and fiscal responsibility.
