Yesterday, Democrats wrapped up week four of the Road to 1000 Democratic Ideas tour with two stops near Albany.  Following yesterday’s meetings, Democratic Party leaders have held at least one meeting with everyday New Yorkers in every county in Western NY, Central NY, the Southern Tier, the Capital Region, the Hudson Valley, and NYC.  

And there’s still time left to make your voice heard.  Just click here and submit your idea today to participate!

Here are five more recently submitted ideas:

• Sullivan – Create a tiered tenure system that affords public school teachers increasing job protection over time, instead of the current all-or-nothing approach.

• Broome – Refocus the Division of Housing and Community Redevelopment to be more responsive and to tailor its approach to the particularized concerns of individual communities.

• Orange – Exempt Bed and Breakfasts from bed taxes that were designed around large hotels.

• Delaware – Enact a farm workers bill of rights that is more achievable than the proposal debated this year.

• New York – Prohibit legislators from directing legislative member items to companies or non-profits in which they or a family member has a personal financial stake or paid position.

The ideas expressed above and in other posts are from ordinary New Yorkers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the New York Democratic Committee or any of its candidates.
