WORKING FAMILIES PARTY URGES SENATORS TO AGREE ON POWER SHARING, GET BACK TO PEOPLE’S BUSINESS
The following statement can be attributed to Dan Cantor, Working Families Party Executive Director:
“After a week of distractions, State Senators from both sides of the aisle have an opportunity to put aside partisan differences and get back to work.
“The power-sharing proposal put forward by Senate Democrats is a sensible response to the even split that has emerged between the two parties. It will allow the State Senate to function again in a balanced, bipartisan way and deal with important matters that will improve the lives of middle-class, working-class, and poor New Yorkers.
“Both sides should put the people of New York first by accepting this agreement and moving quickly to address the vital issues that have been on hold for too long – good jobs, housing, civil rights, government reform, and help for working families.
“Let’s get back to the people’s business.”
