Brooklyn mom mad at Gov. Cuomo for vetoing key health bill
Paige Bellenbaum is angry with Andrew Cuomo.
Bellenbaum, a member of Community Board Six in Park Slope, has been working tirelessly for three years for the passage of a bill that would mandate that the state make it easier for women suffering from postpartum depression to find the help they need.
But with the stroke of his pen, Cuomo dashed her hopes. On Wednesday night, he vetoed the legislation.
“This fight isn’t over,” Bellenbaum told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. She vowed to continue to advocate for the establishment of a new law to help women suffering from the often unspoken-about disorder.
