“President Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on environmental protections. New Yorkers didn’t vote for any of this, yet at the eleventh hour the Assembly Speaker still has not brought up for a vote this widely popular environmental and public health measure that would pass major cost savings onto municipalities and taxpayers.

Assembly Speaker Heastie needs to bring the bill to a vote immediately.”
