NY Gov courting GE to move to Westchester

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is courting Fairfield-based General Electric in an effort to persuade the company to move to Westchester County.  GE President Jeff Immelt said in an email to employees in June that as a result of the Connecticut budget's passage, he has assembled an exploratory team to look into the company's options to relocate corporate headquarters to another state with a more pro-business environment. 

 

Cuomo met with top GE officials at the end of July to talk about possible incentives from his state.

 

Fairfield state Senator Tony Hwang says poor public policies have real life consequences.  Hwang says Connecticut needs to dramatically change its policies in order to be effective and conducive to business growth.

 

Hwang says this is not a partisan conversation, it's about economic reality.  He says there needs to be a dramatic change in policy at the state capital to stop the losing battle.
