Let NY Vote and Sen. Ramos Rally for Early Voting $, Reject Activist Tax

Gov should fund EV instead of lowering the lobbying threshold to punish activists

NEW YORK, NY (02/28/2019) (readMedia)-- On Friday, Let NY Vote activists and State Senator Ramos will rally in support of funding for early voting in the state budget and reject the proposed "activist tax," that would lower the lobbying registration threshold from $5,000 to $500.

The Legislature passed Early Voting into law in January, providing voters 9 additional days to vote before an election. However, the Governor's proposed budget did not include a dedicated funding stream, without which the program won't be a success when New Yorkers go to the polls in November.

WHO:

State Senator Jessica Ramos

Let NY Vote Advocates

WHAT:

 Sen Ramos and Let NY Vote rally for early voting funding and reject the proposed “activist tax.”
