20 mph on all city streets, village streets, and town centers. #ROC @CityRochesterNY @CountyExecBello @realmalikevans

Nobody should be driving faster than 20 mph in an urban area, though ideally we would redesign the street to make this infeasible, not just change the speed limit.

If we are serious about empowering our local economies to finance socially just and sustainable forms of urban development, we must consider innovative solutions like a Rochester public bank. My bill, S9326, could be an important step in this effort.

There is no correlation between robust state consumer protection laws and meritless lawsuits. Consumer and Small Business Protection Act will put NY on par with 42 other states that have stronger protections. The time is now to protect NY consumers!

My bill paves the way for public banking in #ROC—a critical step toward ensuring that local funds are reinvested into our communities, addressing decades of divestment & fostering economic growth. We must pass this bill to empower upstate cities to thrive. buff.ly/4bKdesT

"A bill to let Rochester establish a public bank is under serious consideration in the final weeks of NY's state legislative session. It would be the first created in the U.S. since the Bank of North Dakota was founded in 1919." -@POLITICOPro
Let's get it done this session!🙌

Thank you @SenatorBrouk and @HarryBBronson for working to bring a public bank to Rochester and for being such amazing partners with The Rochester Public Banking Coalition and the Rochester City Council!
NYS Senator Samra Brouk@SenatorBrouk
This week, @AssemblymanBronson and I introduced the Bank of Rochester Act (S9326) to support community-led development and foster economic stability in Rochester. Public banks play a crucial role in creating safe, healthy, and thriving communities.

Who’s ready to bring public banking New York?
@HarryBBronson & @SenatorBrouk have introduced a bill to establish the Bank of Rochester, which will serve as a launching pad for public banking statewide.
