Calling the growth of the innovation economy vital to Monroe County’s future, County Executive Maggie Brooks announced that her 2007 State of the County Address will be delivered at Paychex’s Henrietta operations center, located at 1175 John Street. The event will take place one month from today, on Monday, February 26 at 7:00 p.m., and will be covered live on R News.
“Entrepreneurship and innovation are the economic engines that are powering our economy. To build upon our successful efforts to create good paying jobs in Monroe County, we must continue to keep property taxes stable, while developing new entrepreneurial ventures and supporting start-up companies,” said Brooks. “Certainly, we need look no further than the story of Tom Golisano and Paychex to understand how powerful one person’s idea can be.”

“The entrepreneurial spirit embodied by Paychex is key to our future success, and much of the job creation activity that is taking place in County government parallels this belief,” Brooks added. “In fact, that is why we created The Entrepreneurs Network – to help high-tech companies bring their ideas to the marketplace, maximize their growth and success, and thereby create more jobs. The Entrepreneurs Network has already helped 18 early stage companies get to the next level and is now working with its second class of 16 entrepreneurs from across our region.”

So to capitalize on and promote the supposed success of Brooks' pet project, The Entrepreneurs Network, she holds her State of the County address at a business that was well-established and succesful long before Brooks took office. And, as though he needed more help, Tom Golisano receives free advertising and an opportunity to keep his face in the public eye - I wonder how much Tom had to pay Minarik.
