$30 Living Wage and Public Power for Central Hudson

On Wednesday May 27, there were two economic justice rallies held at the same time at the Capitol. We first hear from the One Fair Wage campaign, a national effort to raise state minimum wages to $30 an hour and eliminate the subminimum wage for tipped workers. The second rally was in support of legislation to lower utility bills by converting Central Hudson Gas and Electric to public ownership. We hear from Senator Hinchey and Assemblymember Shrestha about their legislation to create the Hudson Valley Power Authority.
