As Economy Sinks, Progressives Will Push Income Equality in 2016

Capitol New York reports NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and activist Van Jones met with fellow Progressives, including Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, to discuss a "template" based upon the Republican's 1994 "Contract with America" to elevate income equality as a top issue in the 2016 elections. "How is it that it's already April 2015 and there is no serious debate on income inequality in this country, we are not talking about the things that would actually address the situation?" de Blasio said at a press conference, where he was joined by Malloy, Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and the activist Van Jones, among others.
