    Dear Friends and Neighbors, This week, I was pleased to cosponsor legislation in the Assembly that we passed to better support and protect nursing home residents. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, along with my colleagues, we have taken action to pass legislation to support New Yorkers' health and safety during these uncertain and challenging times. We trust nursing homes and long term care facilities to take care of our loved ones for their treatment and care. During this pandemic, the unthinkable occurred: residential facilities put profits over patient care. They discharged and transferred patients to facilities that lacked the care they needed. I was proud to cosponsor the measures, and to cast my vote for Assembly Bill 3397 to repeal Article 30-D of the Public Health Law. Repealing 30-D, also known as the Emergency or Disaster Treatment Protection Act, will enable us to hold facilities, and their administrators accountable for harm to patients and residents. On Roosevelt Island at Coler long term care facility, we addressed alarming reports when they came to our office of mixing residential patients and new COVID-positive patients, and we formed a coalition with the patients to get out their message that “nursing home lives matter." We are holding administrators of these facilities accountable for any harm and damages incurred to vulnerable individuals. When nursing home operators put their bottom line ahead of patient care, vulnerable New Yorkers get hurt. I am proud to support this legislation to right this wrong and better protect residents. Join us for one of the events that I am pleased to sponsor: Tuesday, March 9 at 7:00 pm on Facebook live and Zoom- Town Hall Tuesday: Senior Seminar.

    Dear Friends and Neighbors, April is Financial Literacy Month, and I was pleased to join Comptroller DiNapoli and Senator Comrie at Next Gen Personal Finance's Screening of "The Most Important Class You Never Had" documentary watch party and panel discussion. We gathered to celebrate with an amazing community of financial education leaders and watch the stories of 8 educators from across the country. I was the lead sponsor of a Consumer Financial Literacy bill, now law, requiring the New York State Department of Financial Services to provide, on the department's website, information to enhance consumer financial literacy and consumer awareness. I am also sponsoring legislation to better prepare students grades 9-12 who will become future consumers by requiring school districts to provide instruction on setting financial goals, developing a budget, basic banking services, investment tools, interest rates and more. As a member of the Assembly Education Committee and as a parent of two public school graduates, I understand the importance of instituting instruction which would empower students to be better informed consumers.
