📈 JSA2026 Launches Regional Readiness & Strategic Growth Act New York isn’t broken because we lack money. It’s broken because we waste it. Jason S. Arnold’s new economic blueprint changes that—day one. ⸻ 🧠 What’s Broken: Billions in NY economic development spending. Few results. No accountability. Upstate is ignored. Urban centers are gentrified. Talent leaves. Bureaucrats cash in. ⸻ 💼 What We’re Doing: 1. Strategic Economic Planning & Audits An independent unit will track every tax credit, kill ghost programs, and show real ROI—publicly. 2. Workforce + Education Alignment SUNY/CUNY will be required to partner with local employers or lose state job-training funds. 3. Site Readiness Fund $1B to get rural & upstate communities ready to compete for major investment—infrastructure, broadband, transit. 4. Regional Equity Zones 25% of funding goes directly to historically neglected towns and neighborhoods. No more surface-level equity. 5. ESD Overhaul Empire State Development gets fully audited. Political contracts get cut. Grifters get gone. ⸻ 💡 Inspired By What Works: • Massachusetts: Transparent job-growth metrics • Virginia: Employer-education pipelines • Kentucky: Shovel-ready site planning • Pennsylvania: Inclusive, region-based growth strategy ⸻ 📊 Real Targets: • 25% more jobs per tax dollar invested • 100 shovel-ready sites across NY by 2028 • Upstate/downstate economic gap shrinks 15% in 5 years • 50% of job-training funds lead to work in <12 months ⸻ This Isn’t a Pilot. It’s a Plan. New York can be a leader again. Not with slogans. With systems. 📜 Read the full plan: 🔗 https://jsa2026.com ⸻ Jason S. Arnold for Governor 2026 “I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.” #JSA2026 #FixNewYork #SmartGrowth #StrategicNY #NoMoreGhostFunds #TheRightOne

Trump Admin Refers NY AG Letitia James for Criminal Prosecution Over Alleged Mortgage Fraud In a dramatic twist, the Trump administration has referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution. The allegations? Misrepresenting key details on mortgage documents to secure favorable loan terms for properties in Brooklyn and Virginia. The referral, issued by FHFA Director William Pulte, claims James may have falsely listed her primary residence and misrepresented property unit counts. One document from 1983 even listed James and her father as “husband and wife.” This comes just weeks after James won a $464 million civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump, leading critics to call the referral political payback. James’s office responded defiantly, saying she “will not be intimidated by bullies.” This fight is far from over—and could reshape political and legal battlegrounds heading into 2026. #LetitiaJames #TrumpNews #MortgageFraud #CriminalReferral #NYPolitics #BETTR #DOJ #PoliticalRetaliation #Accountability Full Story: https://www.fox4news.com/news/trump-administration-ny-ag-letitia-james-possible-prosecution-mortgage-fraud-allegations?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5ZO9swpFi6SNt_PBmP4Om8aFyiZn4zzC3FPnHZeCJ7ta44uNeVZs2--wkTHw_aem_e9Cpz6qB92bu7s_mqSUWQQ
