ALBANY -- Billionaire and former New York gubernatorial candidate Tom Golisano is putting up $5 million to back candidates in state elections this fall -- as long as they support his primarily fiscal agenda.

Golisano says the Responsible New York PAC launched Tuesday would support Republicans or Democrats, based on their answers to a questionnaire touching on eight issues.

Limiting budget increases, ending unfunded mandates, reforming property taxes, reforming campaigns and elections and keeping government employee compensation equal with the private sector are Golisano's priorities.

Golisano, founder of Paychex and owner of the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, ran for governor in 1994, 1998 and 2002 -- when he spent $75 million to get 14 percent of the vote.
