Liz Moran @lizmoran.bsky.social · 07/01/2026It will be especially crucial for @governor.ny.gov and the Legislature to bolster funding for climate and environment: ➡️ minimum $1B for the Sustainable Future Fund to cut energy costs and reduce climate pollution ➡️$500M for the Environmental Protection Fund ➡️$500M minimum for water infrastructure 000 0
Liz Moran @lizmoran.bsky.social · 07/01/2026An easy one to protect communities from rapidly expanding e-commerce mega warehouses is the Clean Deliveries Act.
