1) Request Federal stimulus funding on behalf of the MTA with the stipulation that the MTA must use the money to encourage regular commutation and other environmentally-sound methods of travel, and discourage commutation by individual car, especially for single-occupancy vehicles.
2) I would like to see the state make an attempt to pick up the slack for the Federal government in a couple ways. One would be by doing some serious investigation into health care programs like the CMSP in Massachusetts which helps cover uninsured children, and into jobs programs. I'd like to see some effort being put into helping New York farmers keep their farms, too.
3) I'd like to see some creative budget-balancing.
4) I would like to see marriage extended to any two consenting adults who are not immediate blood relatives and domestic partnership rights extended to any group of consenting adults regardless of blood relation (so domestic partnership rights could be extended to an aging parent or disabled adult child, for example).
