New York State has led the way on two major fronts this year: Covid-19 and racism/police reform. While other States are seeing their coronavirus numbers going UP New York State now has the lowest % of Covid-19 cases and is handling the re-opening in a smart, safe way that is not leading to a spike in cases. Wow!
While looting and rioting did happen in New York City it was handled quickly and we got it under control. Now? Governor Cuomo and the NYS legislature have signed into law the most sweeping police department reforms in history. No more choke holds, no more blatant racism in dealing with minority communities, independent investigations into police misconduct....wow!
New York State has always led the way in social change and reform and I am PROUD to be a New Yorker on this day!
America: follow the leader and start enacting these new policies now.
