Lynn C. Schulman

Tragedies like the death of Ramanj Mahajan are impossible to ignore.

Lynn C. Schulman

In response to that preventable loss of human life, this council, under Speaker Julie Menon's leadership, is taking action.

Lynn C. Schulman

It's time to chart a new path forward.

Lynn C. Schulman

This legislation is about public safety, is about the well-being of the horses, and it is about the well-being of the workers and owners.

Lynn C. Schulman

This bill carefully balances each of those considerations and paves the way towards a fair, just, and safe transition.
