Hawkins and the Greens appear to be the only alternative to anti-union Tea Party budget-cutters Cuomo and Paladino. In their Green New Deal, proposal, the Green Party demands a living wage for all working families, cradle-to-grave Medicare, publicly owned and controlled banks to manage state pension money, housing subsidies and stronger rent control, and invest in environmentally friendly development. These include a ban on “hydrofracking” for natural gas and the construction of new “carbon-free” mass transit. Their full platform is available online at http://gpnys.com and http://www.howiehawkins.org.
