TRANSPORTATION ADVOCATES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO MTA AND GOVERNOR CUOMO: WE NEED BETTER SERVICE—NOT MORE POLICE

[Transportation News\MTA Policing]
State Senator Alessandra Biaggi: “Instead of spending $249 million on a new police force, the MTA should increase bus and train service or make much-needed repairs to our ailing public transportation system. At a time when the MTA is already operating in the red, spending millions to hire more police officers is nonsensical and will just contribute to the over-policing of low-income New Yorkers and communities of color.”

NY GOVERNOR CUOMO SIGNS LEGISLATION ALLOWING ADOPTEES TO SEE BIRTH CERTIFICATE AT AGE 18

[New York News\Adoption]
Governor Cuomo: “Where you came from informs who you are, and every New Yorker deserves access to the same birth records – it’s a basic human right. For too many years, adoptees have been wrongly denied access to this information and I am proud to sign this legislation into law and correct this inequity once and for all.”
