True to form, the state Independence Party has released a grab-bag policy list of agenda items that it wants done this year by the state Legislature.

Chairman Frank McKay announced earlier today that the third party — which is not the same thing as being a registered, small “i” independent — are pushing for Scaffold Law reform, a raise in the state’s minimum wage to $8.75 and legalization of medical marijuana.

The party is also backing the state-level version of the Dream Act and give the children of undocumented immigrants the ability to apply for college aid as well as the expansion of gambling through table-top games.

“We put forward the attached list that ranges from the approval of a new minimum wage package, passage of enhanced gambling with certain criteria, move a Medical Marijuana system, pass the legislation concerning the Scaffold Act and the Dream Act and bring improvements tothe Brownfield Cleanup Program,” said State Chairman Frank MacKay.
