With 48 hours to go, the fate of bills on affordable housing, a bill to allow New York City to lower its speed limit, or a bill to change the name of the Mario Cuomo Bridge back to Tappan Zee are unknown.
New York's Legislative Session ends this week, and it seems little progress is being made by lawmakers on issues like New York City's housing shortage, Sammy's Law, and changing the name of the Mario Cuomo Bridge.With less than 48 hours left before the New York State Legislative session wraps up for the year, any sort of deal on increasing housing access in the state seems stalled for now.
Yet, since Democrats have supermajorities in both houses, technically, they could override any veto from the governor if they had the votes.During a preliminary vote last month, the Rent Guidelines Board considered raising rents between 2% and 5% for one-year leases, and between 4% and 7% for two-year leases.
New York City is facing a significant housing shortage and in the last election cycle, it was one of the top issues for voters.'Sammy's Law' hunger strike begins "If we don't come out of Albany with a housing plan and put those bills on the floor, then we're not going to have housing in the pipeline," Adams said.
A bill that would move the presidential primaries from April 30 to April 2 is almost sure to pass. This move would give New York more influence in the Democratic primary and under the Democratic Party rules, regional states with the same primary date can send more delegates to the national convention.
