Policy Positions

Jasey's campaign website highlights the following issues:

Fighting for Property Tax Relief

  • Mila wants to end special tax breaks for millionaires and instead provide a $1,000 property tax cut for families earning less than $200,000.

Protecting Seniors

  • Mila is leading the fight to protect the Senior Freeze Property Tax Program and supports harsh penalties for identity thieves and telemarketers who prey on our seniors.

Putting Families First

  • Mila believes women deserve equal pay for equal work and for access to lifesaving mammograms and preventative care.

Education

  • Mila is the Legislature’s leading education advocate, and will fight to keep our public schools the best in the nation. She wants small class sizes, limited standardized testing and the school funding formula followed so all districts get the help they deserve. She also thinks every young adult should have the chance to go to college or pursue a career without piling up debt.

Protecting Our Environment

  • Mila wants to make sure our air quality and drinking water are safe, that we preserve open space and that remediation settlement funds are dedicated to cleaning up the impacted site. She has been a leader in the fight to stop the Pilgrim Pipeline.
