NY removes climate change bond from 2020 ballot — for now
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says New York state’s economy is too “murky” to move ahead with his sweeping proposal to address climate change by borrowing $3 billion to fund environmental restoration projects across New York.
Cuomo said in a Thursday conference call with reporters that the bond won’t appear on November’s ballot but said he hopes voters will weigh in on it the following year.
“I don’t think it would be financially prudent to do it at this time,” he said.
