RE - ELIJA
El Gobernador Rockefeller, trabajando con una Legis-
latura Republicana, ha estimulado más empleos, nuevas
y más altas nóminas de pago, florecientes negocios y una
creciente economía en el Estado de Nueva York. Ha
tomado acción positiva para convertir a Nueva York
en la capital de la industria atómica de la nación para
fines pacíficos.
Estos logros fueron obtenidos mediante un presupuesto
anual balanceado y juiciosa planificación financiera
mientras él:
Cancelaba un déficit potencial de $700,000,000 que
heredó de la adminstración Demócrata.
Terminó con el financiamiento deficiente, restableció
el pago de contado, ahorrándole a los contribuyentes
millones de dólares en intereses por conceptos de
préstamos.
Redujo la deuda estatal financiada por los impuestos
en $85,000,000.
