“I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be back in Albany for the 2022 Legislative Session,” said Giglio. As a state, we face unique challenges this year, from COVID-19 recovery to reversing the outmigration of New Yorkers. We also have to do a better job of helping New Yorkers rebuild after the pandemic. That starts with affordability, especially in the face of rising consumer goods and inflation. It’s time to end the mandates that are killing our small businesses, lifting these mandates is key to moving toward a recovery. We need to address the mental health of our students who have struggled through the pandemic. As we move toward a recovery I will continue to support frontline workers and focus on protecting our neighborhoods by working to repeal bail reform and putting discretion back in the hands of judges.”
