The Center for Policy Alternatives (CPA) new report – 2007 Progressive Victories in the States – shows that state legislatures aren’t waiting around on Congress to address some of our nation’s most pressing challenges. They are taking matters in their own hands and finding progressive solutions.
“Today, state legislators are leading the fight for progressive solutions,” said Tim McFeeley, executive director of the CPA. “While the federal government is stuck in partisan gridlock, state governments are enacting far-reaching new legislation.”
From the minimum wage and living wage, to prescription drug prices and election reform, to civil unions and reproductive health – it is clear that a network of savvy progressive think tanks and legislators are working at the state level – and they are winning.
