Today The Children's Agenda hosted a pressconference to discuss the early intervention crisis and the need for an 11% increase in funding for our providers. Right now, over 400 kids in Monroe County who have waited more than 30 days for services. This must end. #KidsCantWait !

Thank you, Jen Lunsford for increasing funding for the 4201s! We appreciate your work in addressing the needs of our schools serving blind, deaf, and physically disabled children across the state. #FundThe4201s 4201schools.org/statement-from…

I join with my Monroe County state legislature colleagues to condemn the Hilton Schools bomb threats today.

We have some truly spectacular programs here in Rochester that should be duplicated state-wide. MAPP is one such program. This is what workforce development should look like spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/binghamton…

My heart is with the friends and family of Rhondesia M. Belton and the other concertgoer who lost their life. I wish a full recovery to all those who were injured. We must investigate to determine ways to make the Armory safer; this isn’t the first time this has happened.

Making users pay extra for basic security offered for free on all similar platforms is a great way to ensure your platform is the prime target for hackers, placing your users at increased risk. Do you think the fees generated will offset the jury awards?

This $10M investment in the Susan B. Anthony House will pay dividends in tourism dollars and galvanize the transformation of Bull’s Head!

Thank you, Hillside, for the incredible work you do for our most vulnerable children!

I’m disappointed to see the charter school cap increased in the Governor’s budget. While I am supremely grateful to see the promised increase in foundation aid, it feels like we are giving to our public schools with one hand and taking with the other.

It was great meeting with MCC today and other area community college leaders, as well as students! Our community colleges are a key part of solving our workforce crisis and helping lift people out of poverty.

This is a great thread by Pete Nabozny (local childcare policy wizard) on the unintended consequences of two-tiered systems. This is why universal childcare is important.

I’ve been struggling to find the words to describe the murder of Tyre Nichols. My colleague, AM Chantel Jackson, explains it well. Justice isn’t about punishment, it’s about making sure it never happens again. It’s about the fact that it should never have happened at all.

My heart is with my guys as they compete today! 🫶🏾

Supporting from home as I focus on my recovery. Nothing I want more than to be out there with them! LFG ❤️💙 #BillsMafia

I first met ⁦⁦⁦Danielle Ponder⁩ as a lawyer & she blew me away. The most impressive thing about Danielle is that singing isn’t the only impressive thing about her. But they don’t put lawyers on Jimmy Kimmel, so let her blow your mind this way. youtu.be/eOPVAphfF2M

I heard affordable childcare. I heard helping families pay for utilities and purchase homes. I heard pegging minimum wage to inflation. What I heard from Governor Kathy Hochul today was a plan that puts New York families first and addresses real kitchen table issues.

On December 31st, Governor Kathy Hochul signed @jessicaramos and Jen Lunsford's bill allowing local districts to extend eligibility for child care assistance for up to 24 months. Our statement:

This is incredible news and a testament to the spectacular work of the first responders on the field in Cincinnati.
