Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for Governor, said today that the State of New York should establish a state-owned bank to finance job creation in new and expanding enterprises.
Hawkins was joined at the press conference by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who highlighted the need for the state to end its fiscal crisis by stopping the annual $16 billion rebate of the stock transfer tax to Wall Street speculators.
Hawkins also said he wanted at least two more gubernatorial debates before the election on November 2. At least one should be in upstate New York.
