Not to rain on your parade here Zilla, but name one thing Hillary did for the state of New York that was significant in her time as Senator here.
This is the truth of the matter, no matter how others attempt to slice it and dice it. It is what it is.
What did Senator Clinton do for New York? Why, you could find that out yourself, slesh, if you bothered to look into her record before you made up your mind about her.
-Sen. Clinton played a key role in securing $21.4 billion in funding for the World Trade Center site's redevelopment.
-She was a leader in investigating the health problems faced by the 9/11 first responders (she eventually won endorsement of New York City's Uniformed Fire Officers Association and the Uniformed Firefighters Association for her 2006 re-election bid, even though they boo'd her five years earlier).
-Senator Clinton convinced the information technology firm Tata Consultancy Services to open an office in Buffalo, New York in 2003.
-In 2005, Clinton and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham cosponsored the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, which provides incentives and rewards for completely domestic American manufacturing companies.
-She cosponsored the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, which encourages research and development in the field of nanotechnology.
Senator Clinton was instrumental in key national legislation, as well, but you only asked for "one thing she did for New York," so I'll stick with this sample.
She had an approval rating among New Yorkers of 74%, including over half of Republicans. You are right about one thing, though. The truth is the truth.Ok, so, I hate doing this, but let me start tearing it apart, piece by piece.
1. WTC redevelopment and the subsequent health concerns of the respnders since whe was not a key player initially, she jumped on board afterwards. In point of fact it was FWC out of Albmny, in conjection with the previous governer of the state initiated the documentation for the Federal Money and I stood next to G. Maziarz and Sheldon when it was introduced, the conversations were clearly that Hillary joined on after the fact, not before. And this was for both, not 1 or the other.
2. Tata Con. Serv. wasn't convinced by Hillary, they were however, convinced by the , and I can be clear enough here, by the "INCENTIVE" package that was proposed by Higgins, not Clinton, although, I will concede she added to the package from the federal level she merely stood as the face of thhat one once again.
3. Now the MTAC I will give credit for, once again, however, it has no, none, 0, zero, descernible affect regionally here in WNY, It does however, provide for limiting funding in the downstate corridor. Not representing the entire state in my opinion. The overseas manufacturers actually lowered their base prices by .021% following its inception, thereby further undercutting domestic manufacturing. This was a piece of paper, nothing more, it does nothing for fair trade policies.
I want you to do me a favor, and yourself for that matter. Go look up the growth rate for her time as a U.S. Senator for New York in 3 sectors, manufacturing, commercial, residential. Then come back and tell me what numbers you found. you could use State figures and DOL figures as well.
