. - the #NYStateOfTheState can’t be strong w/o access to home care. End the “Goldilocks” cuts to home care eligibility. #RestoreHomeCare so those deemed ‘not disabled enough’ & those ‘too disabled’ still can live in the community.

If you rely on a homecare worker to eat and drink, this is especially insulting. A magic angel unicorn won’t swoop in on a rainbow of smiles and glitter to make sure the *poor older and disabled ppl* get what they need. #FairPay4HomeCare makes life possible.

This proposal relies on greater enforcement of parking. If we are talking about THAT, I’d like to see more enforcement when it comes to parking on the sidewalk, Idling in accessible parking spots, blocking curb cuts.
