Connecticut just raised their state minimum wage to $10.10/hr. Let's get the ball rolling to do the same in NY!

Letters of contract expiration from third party utility suppliers should be clearly labeled on the outside of envelopes so that they are not confused with junk mail. Rate increases from contract price to non-contract price should be limited in nature.

New York State has the highest utility rates in the Nation. We need someone to fight to control these costs.

State aid to high needs rural schools has declined to the point where students will not receive a sound basic education. Eliminate the GAP Elimination Adjustment now.

Allow the sale of baked goods produced in home kitchens.

We need mandatory on the spot, prove of insurance the same as when police run drivers license and registration thru their computers to make sure that you are legal drivers.

The antiquated current Public School system of grades, from kindergarten to 12th has not and does not work. If instead there were "Achievement Levels" allowing students to progress at their own pace, first teaching them to read so that they would have the ability and confidence to open and read a book. If they can't read they can't and won't learn. They could advance through the "levels" as they reach a competency in the required classes. In the grade system they are promoted whether or not they are ready or be able to do the work and are discouraged from learning and continue to fall behind. Their potential to complete their education and fully function as adults will be lost
