Start spreading the news: New York lawmakers are in the midst of putting together the annual state budget, and they have a major opportunity to create good jobs and strengthen local communities.
Including Buy America requirements in the budget will help ensure taxpayer dollars are reinvested into American workers, businesses and communities rather than being sent overseas. Lawmakers also have an opportunity to include domestic content and domestic assembly requirements in the budget, which will ensure New York state tax dollars are spent on American-made products across supply chains, from iron and steel to electric vehicles (EVs).
