Democrats Will Have The Power To Override Cuomo's Veto. Will They Use It To Advance Progressive Policies?

State Senator Alessandra Biaggi, a Bronx Democrat who has been critical of Cuomo, said her priorities in the new year would be hiking taxes on the wealthy and setting aside money to assist the renters who could be caught in a coming tidal wave of eviction proceedings.

Low-income New Yorkers do not have the savings to start back-paying all money they owe to landlords,” Biaggi said. “This can have a catastrophic impact on our economy.”
