I was proud to stand with DC37, to fight for fair contribution rates for Tier 6 workers. Tier 6 workers pay more, work longer, and receive a smaller pension than any other tier. It is time to secure a dignified retirement for the essential workers who keep our community running.

As Chair of the Aging Committee, I applaud @GovKathyHochul’s State of the State proposal to expand SCRIE & DRIE by raising income limits from $50K to $75K. This update will help all New Yorkers stay safely housed. I look forward to working with my colleagues to make this happen.
