Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling for tax hikes to help fund New York City’s cash strapped schools and child care programs.

“I’m calling on Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo to raise revenue to fund universal child-care programs, significantly increase staffing at schools, and fund the infrastructure improvements, including ventilation, that our school buildings need to be safe,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement Wednesday.

The Bronx Democrat said her tax hike call comes after hearing complaints from parents and teachers in her district that schools are not ready to reopen because of COVID-19 safety issues.

“It’s clear that there’s significant evidence to suggest that schools are not safe to re-open,” she said.
