New York State has come through two challenging pandemic years, and we have seen that New Yorkers are resilient, supportive, and want to see our City and State moving forward.
Late Thursday Governor Kathy Hochul announced we have an agreement with the Assembly, Senate and Governor's office on the major items in the budget that will affect Yonkers residents.
This includes real income tax cuts for those earning under $400,000 a years, and tax rebate checks, a major push to provide child care so more people can go to work and provide for their families and the approval of 3 full scale casino licenses for downstate. I hope and pray we will see a full scale casino at Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts right here in Yonkers, creating thousands more good paying jobs in hospitality and construction. That's what this legislation leads to.
The agreement also includes changes to the State's bail law giving Judges more discretion in setting bail for repeatedly arrested individuals, gun charges, hate crimes and more. I supported the Governor's call for these changes from the start, and believe her when she says they will fight crime, without undoing the equitable treatment of ALL New Yorkers in the criminal justice system, which bail reform set out to accomplish.
Best, |
