The sponsor's argument

Why Shelley Mayer says this is needed

New York State law authorizes industrial development agencies to grant incentives, including tax abatements and PILOTs, to businesses and projects to promote job growth and the vitality of our local economies. The actions they take, including granting PILOTs, tax abatements, and terms of the incentives, have substantial impacts on community members, workers, and taxpayers. Yet, many of these actions are veiled from those that are affected. For instance, school districts are required to deal with the budget impacts of PILOTs without knowing of upcoming meetings or having a say in the process. Local workers, who have much at stake in this process and the projects, have been excluded from the discussion and decision making concerning the projects and the incentives. This bill requires that all industrial development agencies have at least one represen- tative from a local labor union, and at least one school district super- intendent or a representative from a school board.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
