Legislature is voting on budget bills. Yet, again, NYS has not published basic financial plan tables; the public (& members?) don't know deets of the budget's "size, balance, and multi-year impacts." NYS should publish financial plan tables now. bit.ly/3xl8Od1 1/3

NEW: CBC joined with @ReinventAlbany, @NYPIRG, @LWVNYS, @empirecenter, @commoncauseny, and @CitizensUnionNY to recommend that the Legislature reject certain extraordinary executive budget powers 🧵 Read our letter here: cbcny.org/advocacy/watch…
“The temptation to tune out in this moment of uninspiring politics is stronger than ever,” writes Mara Gay. But “one of the clearest ways to build a saner, more responsive political system is to vastly increase the number of voters who cast ballots.” Read: nyti.ms/48ylScG
Hochul also sounded support for moving NYC and other city elections to even years. It would require a constitutional amendment, a multi-year process that doesn’t actually require the governor’s approval.
Hochul has signed the bill that will move most town and county races to even years.
Reinvent Albany also thanks @GovKathyHochul for specifically mentioning her support for a constitutional amendment moving NYC elections and judgeships to even years like the rest of the state. We hope @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority passes for first time this session.
When New Yorkers don't vote in local elections, they miss a chance to make their voice heard in local government. Today I took action to align many of our local elections with legislative and statewide ones to improve voter participation and promote a more inclusive democracy.
Happy to be part of the @LetNYvote coalition. Moving elections to even-numbered years improves turnout & increases accessibility. Thanks to @CitizensUnionNY, Ben Weinberg & everyone who worked to make this happen. Great work! #Voting #elections #elections2024 #ChangeIsPossible
Now let's do NYC!
Hochul has signed the bill that will move most town and county races to even years.
new report on that most NYC topic, scaffolding, from @CitizensUnionNY: "There are nearly 9,000 active sidewalk sheds throughout the five boroughs, totaling more than 380 miles of wood and metal boxes. Thousands of sheds remain in place for years..." citizensunion.org/portfolio-item…
turnout in NY's elections last week was 42% to 169% lower than in elections in overlapping areas last year, despite competitive races on city & county ballots, a new analysis by @CitizensUnionNY finds. the findings for competitive NYC Council races, which also saw lower turnout:
Frustrated with, or reporting on, low NYC turnout? There are proposals to move elections to even-numbered years with great analysis showing it’d boost turnout.
BREAKING: We published an extensive report calling on NYC to move municipal elections to even-numbered years. Moving elections “on-cycle” has many benefits, including boosting voter turnout, diversifying the electorate, saving money & reducing voter fatigue. A thread 🧵

NEW: I just signed an election reform package that improves and protects access to the ballot box. This historic legislation will allow New Yorkers to vote early by mail and allow same-day voter registration on the first day of early voting.
"It's a growth business -- suing the governor of New York," says Kathy Hochul, governor of New York.
