Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, D-New York City, wants the state to provide a COVID-19 vaccination at no cost to all New Yorkers including those who aren’t U.S. citizens.
Rosenthal recently introduced A.11175 in the state Assembly to require the state cover the cost of a COVID-19 vaccination for any state resident who can’t receive one for free under existing federal programs.
“Recent reports have suggested that the vaccine will be made available for free to American citizens, but no plans have been made regarding undocumented New Yorkers, individuals with temporary legal status and others,” Rosenthal wrote. “The COVID-19 vaccine must be available at no cost to all New: Yorkers, regardless of citizenship or health care status. This legislation will require New York state to make the COVID-19 vaccine available to all New Yorkers at no cost, regardless of immigration status.”

Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell won two honors Saturday from the National Association of Black Journalists on a night the organization also recognized the work of five other Sun-Times staff members.
Mitchell was inducted into the NABJ Hall of Fame, lauded for having “worked tirelessly to fight discrimination, combat domestic violence and hold politicians accountable.”
“Mitchell’s reporting often rallied African American readers to empower their communities by giving the voiceless a platform to address social ills,” the citation honoring her work over her career said, “from failing schools to abusive police, disparities in the criminal justice system to corrupt government officials.”
