(WHITE PLAINS, NY) “After many months of work, I am proud to say this resolution passed without any opposition. My time on Governor Cuomo’s Indian Point Decommissioning Task Force has given me several opportunities to speak with all stakeholders at Indian Point and try to get to the bottom of the challenges all sides are facing. That is where this resolution came from – listening and working together to craft something that aims to find a common solution. As I’ve said, this measure is one step in our board’s efforts to mitigate the economic, social, and environmental impacts of Indian Point Energy Center closing, but one that will help guide our further actions. Thank you to the residents, workers, advocates, and government officials – from both sides of the aisle – who helped make this a success.

(WHITE PLAINS, NY) Yesterday, seven members of the Democratic Caucus introduced the Wage History Anti-Discrimination bill. This will prohibit employers from asking prospective employees about their previous salary history. Employers often ask prospective employees to provide prior salary histories in order to set salary pay rates. This practice perpetuates discrimination against women and people of color who historically earn lower salaries throughout their careers.
