Not passing #CleanSlate in the budget means 2.3M NYers continue to wait to join our economy. The Clean Slate Act has massive support from all corners of NY. @CarlHeastie and Sen. Stewart-Cousins must pass it and Governor Kathy Hochul must make good on her word to get it done this session.

STATEMENT: We - and millions of New Yorkers across the state - are dismayed that Clean Slate was left out of this year’s budget despite tremendous statewide support. The ball is now in the Legislature’s court. Pass Clean Slate immediately.
