Many Cuomo Initiatives For 2015 Outlined Ahead Of Budget


cuomGov. Andrew Cuomo will give his state of the state address Wednesday but he’s already previewed much of his 2015 agenda, including a minimum wage hike, small business tax cut and a statewide campus sexual consent policy.

The Democrat re-elected in November has already proposed a new mechanism to provide property tax relief to more than 1.3 million New York taxpayers, establishing a commission to set new salaries and limiting outside income for state legislators and stopping prosecution of juveniles as adults.

He advocates awarding three upstate regions $500 million each for economic development through competition and forgiving student loans for New York college graduates who stay to work.

Cuomo proposes raising the state minimum wage to $10.50 by the end of 2016, with New York City’s rising to $11.50.
