Early Retirement Incentive Bill Update

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,

I would like to share some updated information about the early retirement incentive bill.  Governor Cuomo is not allowing the NY State Senators (legislators) to convene until January.

However, the legislators have some unfinished business ( the incentive bill is one ) and want to come back sooner. They now hold a supermajority and can override the Governor and come back into session earlier, anytime between December 7 - 31. If they do, they will vote on the bill and it will go to the Governor for his signature. If not, they will probably convene around January 7 and then vote on the bill.

At this present time, the bill should pass, it’s just a question of when. Please feel free to call me with any questions at 1-646-770-6613.

I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!

Be well

In solidarity,
