New charter schools will drain resources from districts that serve communities with the highest needs, sending funds to corporate charter networks with different rules that lack transparency and accountability.

It's crystal clear from today's testimony that the proposed 2.5% COLA isn't nearly enough to address the systemic workforce shortage
I'll be fighting to make that 8.5% - these workers deserve a decent wage for providing services that allow so many to live with respect & dignity

Proud to stand with my colleagues, wearing orange, in support of an 8.5% COLA. As Chair of the Senate Disabilities Committee we must provide significant financial support to rebuild the workforce in OPWDD, as well as, OMH, OASAS, SOFA, OCFS and OTDA. And yes, that says 8.5!
