New Yorkers deserve to know what they're eating. Yesterday, we passed the Food Safety & Chemical Disclosure Act, which would strengthen transparency in our food system. I thank @AMKelles for her expertise and leadership and my colleagues in the Senate for their support.

SCRIE and DRIE are programs that can make the difference between someone being able to afford their home and being kicked out of it. But for too many seniors and people with disabilities, their rents under SCRIE and DRIE are still more than their incomes can bear. I was proud
