From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYRepeal New York's Outdated Data Center Tax Loophole
I urge you to support legislation repealing New York's outdated sales tax exemption for data centers. This 26-year-old law, enacted in 2000 during the dial-up era, is costing our state and local communities hundreds of millions of dollars while serving no legitimate public purpose. When Governor Pa
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYIdentity databases will be breached
I oppose legislation that mandates online age verification. Large databases of government IDs and biometric data inevitably become targets for hackers. Numerous identity platforms have already suffered serious breaches exposing sensitive personal information. No system that aggregates this volume

From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYPass Comprehensive Data Privacy Legislation Like Connecticut's SB4
New York needs to pass comprehensive data privacy legislation modeled on Connecticut's Senate Bill 4, which passed 141-6 in their House and 31-4 in their Senate this May. Connecticut is now poised to become the national leader in data broker regulation, and New York should follow immediately. Conne
