THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is promoting his Tax Free NY plan, which would eliminate property, income and sale taxes for ten years for businesses that relocate or open in New York adjacent to colleges or other select state-owned properties. The businesses could also partner with the colleges. Critics say similar programs in the past have proven ineffective and the program favors some businesses or individuals over others. Supporters say it will create badly needed jobs. Do you support the Tax Free NY plan?

Take the NCNow Survey. Results will be posted Monday, June 24.
