Recomendaciones y preguntas sin resolver sobre el fondo para trabajadores excluidos ([link removed])
¿Cómo funcionó el fondo de ayuda para inmigrantes y trabajadores excluídos en California y Chicago? ¿Qué lecciones puede aprender el estado de Nueva York de otras experiencias en la implementación del fondo para trabajadores excluidos?
Victoria para ayuda en alquileres, decepción en cuanto a NYCHA y las personas sin hogar en el presupuesto estatal de Nueva York ([link removed]) Aunque los defensores de vivienda afirman que el acuerdo presupuestario incluye una importante victoria para los inquilinos —creando un programa multimillonario para la reducción de los alquileres—, hay menos fondos tanto para NYCHA como para la prevención de la falta de vivienda de lo que se esperaba.

Opinions on Policy and Politics
Opinion: New York Needs Publicly-Owned Utilities, Not Sham Stakeholder Participation ([link removed])
‘The time has come to remove corporate profiteering from the picture altogether. Two new bills —the NY Build Public Renewables Act and the forthcoming NY Utility Democracy Act—would do just that, initiating a takeover of the state’s investor-owned utilities that would make them publicly owned and democratically accountable.’

Opinion: To Truly Combat Political Polarization, NYC Needs Open Primaries ([link removed])
‘In jurisdictions dominated by one political party like New York City, Ranked Choice Voting alone likely won’t be an effective remedy for political divisions, since the partisans of the dominant party might lack a real incentive to care about the concerns of voters from the opposition party.’

Opinion: New York Can Commit to a Greener Earth by Passing the Climate and Community Investment Act ([link removed])
‘Under the CCIA, there would be fees on air pollution emissions, in recognition of the negative externalities they produce. Such fees are profoundly fair: it is not so much a punitive tax as it is correcting for market distortions by incorporating the costs society incurs from air pollution.’
