Statewide Ballot Proposals
Regarding statewide proposals on the ballot, the New York State AFL-CIO recommends union members vote "Yes" for Proposals 1 and 2.
Proposal 1 would remove the constitutional debt limitation currently only imposed upon small city school districts, to ensure that they are treated like all other districts in the state.
Proposal 2 would extend, until January 1, 2034, the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to exclude from their constitutional debt limits indebtedness contracted for the construction and reconstruction of facilities for the conveyance, treatment and disposal of sewage.
