STATEMENT BY SUPERINTENDENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES LINDA A. LACEWELL ON THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY:

“Today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, which shepherded in a new era of protecting human well-being and the environment.  Now, our state fights a historic challenge unprecedented in modern times: a global pandemic. Side by side we are battling an invisible enemy that is inflicting incredible loss and isolation on communities across the state.  But in this crisis lies an enormous opportunity for change. New York State has always used these moments of challenge to rethink the new norm and build New York back better than before. We will do it again, together.”
