Cumo Outlines 2019 Agenda
Fellow New Yorker,
This morning I laid out my agenda for the first 100 days of the 2019 legislative session.
As the federal government seeks to undo generations of progress, New York must lead and there’s no time to wait. With the new Democratic majority in our State Senate we have the opportunity to pass this ambitious plan to ensure the promise of full, true, justice for all.
This 2019 we will:
- Ensure a Progressive Tax System
- Cut Middle Class Taxes While Fighting to Repeal SALT
- Protect Quality, Affordable Health Care
- Codify Reproductive Rights
- Enshrine Gender Equality into Law
- Combat Gun Violence
- Launch a $150 Billion Infrastructure Plan
- Fund and Restructure the MTA While Easing Traffic in New York City’s Business District
- Ensure Education Equity
- Pass the Dream Act
- Launch the Green New Deal
- Ensure Clean, Safe Drinking Water for All
- Improve Our Democracy
- Increase Trust in the Democratic System
- Protect Public Sector Unions
- Keep Housing Affordable for New Yorkers
- Pass the Child Victims Act
- Protect LGBTQ Rights
- Legalize Adult Use of Recreational Marijuana; and
- Ensure Fairness in the Criminal Justice System
