Can and will the city fully honor the right-to-shelter law in its accommodating of the more than 13,000 asylum seekers (and counting) who've come to NYC in recent weeks? I wrote about it. cityandstateny.com/policy/20…

With asylum seekers’ arrival in NYC, shelter advocates worry the city will cut legal corners

The mayor’s plan to temporarily house some arrivals outside the city shelter system, with its stringent criteria, has advocates on alert.

I wrote about efforts to raise New York State's minimum wage starting next year and peg it to inflation thereafter. Currently it's $15 in NYC, Westchester and Long Island and $13.20 everywhere else. cityandstateny.com/policy/20…

With inflation soaring, some lawmakers want to hike New York’s minimum wage rates next year

They also want to follow the lead of 16 states who annually index their minimum wage to inflation to keep up with the cost of living.
