"It’s time to take care of our state’s workers by providing meaningful paid medical leave." We couldn't agree more, Michaelle C. Solages. Time is ticking, and the Assembly must support New Yorkers managing serious health needs by passing A.84 ASAP. liherald.com/stories/michae…

NY's paid medical leave benefits have been capped at $170/week since 1989. No one can live off of this in 2025. A.84 will fix this, and has the support it needs to pass. NY Assembly Majority must bring it to a vote ASAP – New Yorkers can't wait any longer.
