Overview Of Climate Issues In Hochul's State Budget by Hudson Mohawk Magazine published on 2022-01-19T19:19:36Z On January 18, Gov. Hochul released her proposed state budget for 2022-23. Pete Sikora of NY Communities for Change discusses how her budget addresses climate issues, such as a proposed ban on new gas hookups. A big concern however is the lack of funding for climate action. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Radio Network. Genre News & Politics Comment by Valdi Weiderpass Thank you Mark Dunlea for covering Climate Crisis and an especially huge thank you to Pete Sikora for cutting through all the cheering about Gov. Hochul and being willing to say how the Governor is sadly, not meeting the needs of the moment, in taking serious action on Climate! You correctly point out that serious action would need to be backed by $10 to $20 billion/year of funding and point out that $10 billion/year could be raised by raising the marginal tax rate by 5% for rich people who make the top 1% of income. 2022-01-20T16:54:47Z
