As Jay noted below, the Paid Family Leave legislation cleared another hurdle today when it passed the Assembly by 46-30.

With a few exceptions, it was mostly a party-line vote, with most Democrats voting for it while most Republicans voted against.

There were only a handful of cross-over votes. On the Democratic side, Assemblyman Matthew Milan voted against it, while Republican Assemblymen John Amodeo and Ronald Dance voted in favor.

Assemblymembers Joan Voss (D) and Joseph Malone (R) abstained.

What is Milam's reasoning? (0.00 / 0)

I don't know much about him, despite him being my assemblyman...I figured he'd follow Van Drew and Albano's lead, not think for himself. Why did he go off the reservation on such an important bill?!

No snark intended. If you want to know why your assemblyman did something, the best way to find out is to ask him/her.

Though I suspect the answer lies in his occupation ...

Yes , if Needed (0.00 / 0)

The 1st District is a very conservative district. I think he was covering himself for the future but would have been a certain yes vote if he was needed.

Assembly Votes (0.00 / 0)

Well, Baroni was the only Republican to vote for the bill in the Senate, so perhaps he, along with Amodeo and Dancer in the Assembly, should be considered somewhat moderate allies for bills Dems are pushing.
