In a fascinating interview with Capitol Weekly’s Anthony York, the new Assembly Speaker equates restructuring the Enterprise Zone program with job creation:

Other than the budget, what’s on your priority list?

I came up here to do job creation stuff, and last year was a really bad year for that. I have a bill that looks at restructuring the way we use enterprise zones. I think we under-utilize the half-a-billion dollars a year we have in enterprise zones, to leverage for new jobs that wouldn’t otherwise exist or maintain jobs that otherwise would leave.
