There’s a traditional question you always ask candidates: “Can you accomplish what you want to accomplish without being elected?” This idea translates easily to other aspects of life. For example, do you need a certain title to accomplish your jobs goals or are you confident enough to accomplish those goals without the trappings of a title? The same goes for governments that rely on tax breaks to lure businesses. Maybe, just maybe, those same resources can build something organically without giving away the store. That’s the topic of this week’s Carosa Commentary “This is How the Greater Western New York Region Should Respond If Amazon Picks Another Option.”
