PALADINO TO APPOINT BLUE-RIBBON TAX CUT TEAM
Paladino: Cuomo wants to raise taxes; these men will help me cut taxes.

NEW YORK, NY - Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino, the Republican candidate for Governor of New York, announced today on WOR Radio's John Gambling show that he would appoint four leading economic experts to a temporary commission to advise his administration on immediate tax cuts including: former New York State Comptroller Edward V. (Ned) Regan; former economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan Larry Kudlow; former GOP Senate candidate and economist David Malpass; and former businessman now Erie County Executive Chris Collins.

"On November 3rd, the day after I beat Andrew Cuomo in the race for Governor, I will ask Ned Regan, Larry Kudlow, David Malpass, and Chris Collins to join a tax cut team that will advise me on immediate tax relief for New Yorkers," Paladino said. "I will ask these four eminent economic experts to come back to me in 60 days with immediate pro-growth tax cut recommendations. I will implement their recommendations in my first budget to achieve a ten percent cut in taxes for all New Yorkers."

"I have not discussed this assignment with any of these eminent New Yorkers but I am confident they would serve their state on a voluntary basis if asked," said Paladino.

"Andrew Cuomo says only that he will slow the growth rate of taxes. That means Cuomo will raise taxes. I will cut taxes by ten percent in my first six months and continue to cut taxes until the clock runs out on my administration," Paladino said. "That's a clear choice for New Yorkers: vote to raise taxes, or vote to cut taxes."

"Andrew Cuomo supports Obama Care which will cost New Yorkers millions in new taxes," said Paladino. "Now Cuomo refuses to cut taxes-the choice is clear."

Paladino's five point plan to save New York includes a ten percent tax cut; a 20 percent cut in spending and the size of State government; cutting Medicaid by $20 billion by slashing optional benefits and attacking waste, fraud and abuse; cutting taxes on New York businesses that create or retain jobs; and investigating and prosecuting corruption running rampant in Albany.

Carl Paladino, a successful Western New York real estate developer and attorney, is a Republican candidate for Governor of New York. He petitioned his way into the Republican Primary and canvassed to create a new Taxpayers ballot line. On September 14th, he swamped his opponent Rick Lazio with a 62-38 win in the Republican primary - a mandate for leadership of the Republican Party.
