IN THE NEWS: NFIB State Director Ashley Ranslow
New York State Director Ashley Ranslow published an op-ed in Empire Report with Chelsea Lemon of The Business Council on the rising cost of health care in the state: “It should be a nonstarter for Albany lawmakers to continue adding to the already steep cost burdens placed on New York businesses. Solutions need to focus on controlling those costs and improving the state’s affordability, not piling up more costs on employers. Governor Hochul should reject making health care more expensive and veto these bills when they reach her desk.”
