End of session focuses on downstate needs not upstate
The 2015 New York legislative session ended with more attention on New York City issues such as rent control and 421a exemptions, while downstate concerns dominated the agenda. The Safe Act repeal was not advanced, ethics reforms stalled, and missed opportunities included mixed martial arts legalization and stronger penalties for synthetic drugs. Property tax relief continued with rebates and a cap extension, plus a BO CES capital improvements exemption.
