Affordable Housing,
I support all measures to create better ethics and standards in Albany.
I support these measures, which would make common sense adjustments to make it easier to vote!
New York State needs to embrace and adopt ambitious policies to reduce emissions and transfer NYS to more sustainable models of energy (and sticking by them).
I have yet to take a position on the proposal.
Yes.
