The document discusses reforming New York State's Scaffold Law from 1885. It argues that the law is outdated and places absolute liability on contractors for elevation-related injuries, leading to high insurance costs that drive up construction costs and unemployment. Reform would add a comparative negligence standard used in other civil liability cases, allowing consideration of worker negligence, to make the law fairer while still protecting worker safety and rights. Reform supporters argue it would improve safety, create jobs, and provide equity for all involved in construction projects in New York.2013 newera plan

This document analyzes the potential economic impact of a proposed bill (S6413) in New York that would increase the minimum wage. It finds that depending on future inflation rates, the bill could result in nearly 22,000 lost jobs in New York over 10 years and a $2.5 billion reduction in economic output. More than 70% of lost jobs would be in small businesses. The analysis models different inflation scenarios and estimates costs to employers, as well as potential secondary effects on near-minimum wage workers.Tony jordan on the toll hike

Assemblyman Tony Jordan introduced a bill that would require legislative approval for regulatory agency decisions with fiscal impacts over $5 million statewide to increase transparency and accountability of public authorities like the Thruway Authority.

Senator Gallivan urged the Thruway Authority Board to avoid a planned 45% toll increase on three-axel vehicles and instead consider separating the State's Canal System from the Authority. Gallivan argued that a toll increase would hurt the economy and cause trucks to use less suitable local roads instead of the Thruway. Separating the canal system would save the Authority $107 million annually and subject canal costs and operations to legislative oversight through the state budget. Gallivan has been a vocal opponent of toll hikes and introduced legislation in September to sever the canal system from the Authority.Volunteer for George Amedore

The document summarizes a report by the New York State Comptroller assessing the finances and proposed toll increase of the New York State Thruway Authority.

It also notes increasing debt service costs and concludes the Authority has failed to demonstrate fiscal responsibility or provide specific plans to achieve efficiencies, making the need for a toll increase uncertain.129th assembly district of new york state
