State Budget a Mixed Bag at Best |
Our state budget was finalized earlier this month, and it’s a bit of a mess – while there were some positive highlights, such as reforms for Tier 6 pensions y una scaled-down version of the housing plan for upstate cities, it was also a disaster for housing justice groups and environmental and climate justice groups. As NY Renews noted, “By not including the NY HEAT Act, the Climate Change Superfund Act, or new investments in climate and environmental justice, state leadership prefers to protect their fossil fuel industry investors over the wallets and health of working New Yorkers, raising our energy bills and continuing to funnel billions of dollars into expanding and maintaining the state’s toxic and polluting fossil fuel system.” WNY Assembly Representatives appear to have been particularly vulnerable to lobbying efforts by National Fuel, cual pulled out all stops to prevent the inclusion of the NY HEAT Act. This fight is far from over, aunque – Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has already signaled that NY HEAT and other legislation like the Climate Change Superfund Act might be revisited through separate legislation before the session ends. This will require pressure to push over the finish line – NY Renews will be holding a mass call tomorrow evening to discuss the next steps planned, and they are also holding online legislative visits this week. We encourage our members and supporters to sign up for both – this is a great way to not only show support from WNY for environmental and climate justice, but also to build your lobbying and legislative skills and knowledge. |
