One person who thought New York City has tackled it correctly is Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers. Unlike some national labor figures, Weingarten remains influential among local education unions in New York, where she headed the United Federation of Teachers from 1998 to 2009. 7.

The Legislature also voted 54-9 in the Senate and 125-25 in the Assembly to pass A7119/S6346, requiring nursing homes to establish minimum staffing standards and all patients receive an average of 3.5 hours of care each day.

The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, a landmark 2019 law, mandated that the state reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. The Climate Action Council of experts established by the legislation is expected to work out all the details in a plan due by the end of 2022. And offshore wind and solar energy projects got a boost in the recently passed state budget. None of these efforts, however, definitively answer a multibillion-dollar question: How is the state going to pay for all of that? With just two months to go until legislators adjourn for the summer, a political alliance of left-leaning environmentalists and community organizers called New York Renews is pushing the idea of a carbon tax to raise billions of dollars each year via legis
