IDA Report in the News

Last weeks report No Return On Our Investment by the NY IDA coalition has recieved positive press from a number of news outlets recently.

The Wall Street Journal covered it, and the Buffalo News' Matt Glynn wrote an article in the business section of the News about the findings of the report.

It's great to hear that folks are concerned that our State is spending more and more on IDAs while job creation is diminishing, and that IDA reform makes sense now more than ever.

An article in WNY Labor Today quoted CEJ director Allison Duwe, saying "These public authorities simply haven't created the jobs, let alone good jobs for local people, and they've shown complete disregard for transparency and public opinion by spinning off new agencies to skirt reform efforts."
