Matthew Hamilton at Capitol Confidential reports about Gov. Andrew Cuomo's litany of proposals in his Jan. 3 "State of the State" address. Cuomo wants to change the state tax code in reaction to the just-passed federal tax plan; combat sexual misconduct; reform state criminal justice procedures; ban domestic abusers from possessing guns; end cash bail for misdemeanor and non-violent felony charges; and bring early voting to New York, among other proposals. Abortion rights would be codified into state law; undocumented students could get college tuition assistance; and toll takers would be replaced by robots. And it would not be a Cuomo "State of the State" speech without a nod to ethics reform. For the last several years he has mentioned ethics reform in January and then not again through the legislative session. Cuomo has not released his budget proposal yet, but that's due Jan. 16, with the final budget deadline April 1. Read the full story at Capitol Confidential.
