Fink, who is retiring from the StateAssembly at the end of this year, spoke optimistically about New York%u2019s economicclimate since 1975, the %u201cwatershed years,%u201dwhen the City declared bankruptcy.%u201cOver the last few years, we%u2019ve been tryingto reduce the government paperwork andtrying to give you the background to helpyour bussiness and entrepreneurial sk illsbring jobs to Brooklyn and New York State,%u201dhe said, referring to a philosophical shift inthe government%u2019s approach to economicdevelopment.%u201cThere is no piece of legislation that comesto the floor of the Assembly or the StateSenate today without determining how it willimpact business in the state,%u201d he continued,emphasizing the work the State has done tostimulate the economy.Recalling the years of decline over the lastdecade, Fink said that policy-makers beganto realize that the state was at a %u201cterribledisadvantage%u201d as they watched jobs fleefrom New York. After %u201cdissecting the problem,%u201d he said that the various layers ofgovernment had to look for other ways torebuild the economy.%u201cWe began to reduce taxes,%u201d he said. %u201cButwe also realized that it wasn%u2019t only a questionof taxes that would bring businesses back toNew York to live, we realized that we had todo something about the infrastructure.%u201cWe knew we had a wonderful infrastructure and that we had to do something to prevent it from crumbling,%u201d Fink added. Whileother states could not afford to build newroads and new development programs, Finksaid that New York already had a good network that needed strengthening. %u201cNo otherstate could afford to build an infrastructureof the same magnitude that New Yorkalready had,%u201d he said.Fink credited this realization as part of thereasons for Brooklyn%u2019s economic boom.Reminding the Brooklynworks businessmenthat few people know that 22 Fortune 500companies had operations located in theborough and that 30,000 small businesses arethe backbone of much of the economy, hesaid, %u201cWe are showing today that Brooklyndoes work and we are in a renaissance interms of our communities and ourbusinesses.%u201dAssembly Speaker of the House Stanley Fink spoke at the M arketplace Luncheon thatwas a part of the Brooklynworks proceedings.
