🧾 JSA2026 Proposes 2-Year Tax-Free Incentive for NY Startups and Relocating Businesses Jason S. Arnold’s campaign has released the BETTR NY Business Kickstart Act, a bold plan to give all new businesses in New York — or companies relocating from out of state — a full 2 years tax-free. This includes: No business income tax for 24 months Waived filing, registration, and license fees A state-run startup concierge service Bonus incentives for hiring NY residents in distressed counties While Albany chokes small business with regulations and fees, JSA2026 is putting the power back in the hands of builders, creators, and entrepreneurs. Let’s make New York the best place to start again — not the worst place to start at all. #JSA2026 #TheRightOne #FixNY #SmallBusiness #TaxRelief 🔗 https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-campaign-proposes-a-bold-2-year-tax-free-incentive-for-new-yorkers-starting-businesses-or-relocating-companies-to-ny-learn-more/

📉 U.S. Economy Contracts 0.3% in Q1 Amid Trade Turbulence The U.S. economy shrunk by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, marking the first contraction in over a year. Economists point to ongoing trade wars and tariff escalations, particularly tied to Trump-era policies, as key disruptors for businesses and supply chains. 🚫 Export-heavy industries are reporting sharp slowdowns 📦 Small businesses face rising import costs and shipping delays 🏭 Manufacturing growth has stalled in several key states While some argue tariffs are necessary for long-term leverage, the short-term economic pain is real—and voters are feeling it. 📊 With inflation cooling but growth reversing, the pressure is on Washington to stabilize trade and reassure markets before Q2. #USEconomy #RecessionWatch #TradeWar #Tariffs #SmallBusinessCrisis #BETTRnews #EconomicUpdate #Q12025 🔗 Source: https://apnews.com/article/economy-trump-gdp-tariffs-inflation-trade-28a0da24c803c4796eb32704cd0244cc
