While there are a variety
of city - specific issues at play, de Blasio has made it clear that he is
supportive of Cuomo's push for both a
minimum wage increase toward $ 15 per hour over the next several years and a paid family leave policy.
The governor proposed several initiatives that brought his platform further left towards liberal issues that de Blasio has been championing — such as
increasing the
minimum wage to $ 15 per hour, mandating 12 weeks
of paid family leave and offering up $ 20 billion over the next five years to address homelessness by providing 20,000 more
supportive housing beds and 100,000 units
of affordable housing.
