Here’s an awful “bragging right” for the state: For the sixth straight year under Gov. Cuomo, New York ranks dead last in economic outlook in the American Legislative Exchange Council’s annual “Rich States, Poor States” study, out Monday.

The study used 15 measures (taxes, minimum-wage laws, regulatory burdens, labor policies, etc.) to gauge which states are “poised to achieve greater economic prosperity” and which “are stuck on the path to a lackluster economy.”

It also notes that over the last decade, New York has seen more than 1.3 million residents move out of state. “Rich states,” it says, tend to attract new residents while “poor” ones prompt them to flee.

“Americans continue to vote with their feet across states, and they are voting strongly in favor of the states that have created a free-market environment conducive to economic growth and opportunity,” says ALEC’s Jonathan Williams.

Indeed, it’s almost as if Cuomo has been trying to strangle upstate NY: His fracking ban deprived the region of a huge economic boost. His Buffalo Billion program has been an utter bust.

ALEC’s study is just the latest to note New York’s grim economic prospects, with others, like the Tax Foundation, also citing the state’s lousy economic climate. Cuomo may not be shooting for last place, but, alas, he doesn’t seem to want to avoid it either.
