New York Democrats have seized the opportunity to highlight their opposition to the Trump administration in several policy areas, including access to abortion, immigrant rights, gun control and election reform
ALBANY — With their new monopoly on power in the Legislature, Democrats have seized the opportunity to highlight their opposition to the Trump administration in several policy areas, including access to abortion, immigrant rights, gun control and election reform.
In Albany, in addition to the possible challenge to pardons Trump may issue, proposals have been floated on subjects dealing with the disclosure of Trump’s taxes and even the appearance of his name on public property. The legislation was initially proposed by former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. While his career ended in disgrace mere weeks after the bill was introduced, the idea has continued to receive attention as the number of people with ties to the president who have been indicted — including several for crimes allegedly committed in New York — continues to tick up. Just two weeks ago, reports surfaced that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr.
Lawmakers are also continuing efforts to force Trump to release his taxes. The idea that states might be able to force the issue came about when Sen. Brad Hoylman authored legislation that would prohibit presidential candidates who haven’t publicly disclosed their taxes from appearing on the ballot in New York.
