Watchdog Supports State Bill Banning Bouncing of Local Ballot Initiatives

Reinvent Albany strongly supports Senator Krueger and Assemblymember Simone’s bill to strengthen the voice of the average New York voter by stopping “ballot bouncing.” Nobody, including mayors, should have the power to keep the public from voting on local ballot proposals. 

The Krueger/Simone bill is numbered S9935/A5661-A. Note that the Legislature will not be in session again until January 2025, and the bill will have to be reintroduced and given new Senate and Assembly numbers at that time.
