Adams urges state legislature to invest millions in new tax credits, child care for New York families

Mayor Eric Adams stressed the need for investments in Earned Income Tax Credits, child care and mental health resources while testifying before the state Senate and Assembly Ways and Means Committees Wednesday.

With the increased investments in these three components, which include enhanced and modified taxes in order to fund these programs, Adams said the city would have more resources to help struggling New Yorkers, especially with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
