Hillary made promises for upstate NY when she ran for senator, none of which came to fruition.
In fact, it got worse under her tenure.
nearly eight years after Clinton’s Senate exit, there is little evidence that her economic development programs had a substantial impact on upstate employment. Despite Clinton’s efforts, upstate job growth stagnated overall during her tenure, with manufacturing jobs plunging nearly 25 percent, according to jobs data.
The former first lady was unable to pass the big-ticket legislation she introduced to benefit the upstate economy. She turned to smaller-scale projects, but some of those fell flat after initial glowing headlines, a Washington Post review shows. Many promised jobs never materialized and others migrated to other states as she turned to her first presidential run, said former officials who worked with her in New York.
Clinton’s self-styled role as economic promoter also showcases an operating style that has come to define the political and money-making machine known to some critics of the former first couple as Clinton Inc. Some of her pet economic projects involved loyal campaign contributors, who also supported the Clinton Foundation, The Post review shows.
“To her credit, she really did focus on economic development upstate as a focus and as a purpose,’’
With Dems it never matters what the result is, just their good intentions and ‘clearly’ her heart was in the right place. Stop picking on poor Hillary!
I remember those bold promises. I live with a woman who is from upstate NY and she sure as fuck remembers them too. And also remembers how empty those promises were.
Trump has got so much ammunition, I wouldn’t know where to start.
Every politician should have the promises they make tattooed on their foreheads. And, whenever they break a promise it should be removed with acid!
