Are New York Democrats Delivering on the Progressives’ Wish List?


[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] ALBANY — With only three weeks before the Legislature is to adjourn for the year, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo emerged after the Memorial Day weekend with a 10-point agenda of things he wants to see accomplished by the end of session. The governor’s issues included some pressing concerns — new rent regulations to replace ones that expire in June — as well as some decades-old ideas (an Equal Rights Amendment, for instance, which the governor wants to enshrine in the State Constitution). Mr. Cuomo also used one of his two radio interviews on Tuesday to bash his fellow Democrats — suggesting that the State Senate, now led by Democrats, had not done much but obstruct “progressive” legislation — and basically confirmed that he would like to run for a fourth term in 2022.
