Remember the mayor laughing off public support for street safety on McGuinness the next time someone is killed there. https://t.co/de6Vzjw9TS

Speaker Heastie @CarlHeastie needs to speak and explain why he won’t do the democratic thing and bring #sammyslaw to the floor for a vote. @NYC_SafeStreets are suffering families who don’t want others to experience their pain. Please let the Assembly vote!

Meanwhile in Albany, it’s hour 56 of Amy and Fabiola’s hunger strike. @NYC_SafeStreets

@HarveyforNY @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul These cravens can have my thanks after they actually vote

What is it about Albany, NY that turns politicians into the most cynical, cowardly people imaginable who seem to lack even a trace of morals, convictions or shame.

jesus christ, new york’s supermajorities have less courage than states like minnesota’s razor thin majorities

it is not your job to block legislation because the governor doesn’t support it @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins. if your members support it you pass it!

Between this & end-of-session anti-democratic campaign finance shamefulness, both of which are a big middle finger to NYers, @carlheastie is looking to me like a bit of a lousy guy

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s one reason why @carlheastie should pass Sammy’s Law: one of the most dangerous 25MPH roads is in his Bronx district! https://t.co/OTisv0pvHI

[Office of New York City Comptroller Mark Levine @NYCComptroller]

More New York City children died from traffic violence in the 2010s in than from any other cause.

One of them was my neighbor, Sammy Cohen-Eckstein.

So what is Albany waiting for? Pass #SammysLawNow to let NYC lower our speed limits. https://t.co/ehBB1rZY4W

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

✅ Sammy’s Law is supported by a supermajority of the NYC Council (35/51 votes in favor)

✅ It passed with an overwhelming majority in the State Senate (55/63 votes in favor)

Why won’t the Assembly act on this extremely popular legislation to let NYC set its own speed limits?

@prospect_park Why do water fountains in the park get turned off? It is frustrating. Access to water is important to citizens of NYC

@aarmlovi @tonymelone Thank goodness there is someone to speak out for the “upper middle class” against the scourge of… depopulation

[Streetsblog New York City @StreetsblogNYC]

With so many people dying on the streets—including this latest victim in Queens—it's worth asking: Will anyone protect us? Will @nycspeakeradams push @nyc_dot to tighten rules against repeat reckless drivers? Will @nypdpc rein in these dangerous motorists? https://t.co/pkqvTFtL1C

[Good Idea Dave @DaveCoIon]

A fine piece and all, and it's never bad when people are talking about this, but the only solution is one single police commissioner demonstrating there will be consequences for a precinct sidewalk being surrounded by illegally-tinted Dodge Chargers with Florida plates

@BobHoldenNYC We already give them, like, all our money. Maybe cut down on the expensive helicopter joy rides that ruin our peace in the city?

[I'd Like a Loading Zone on my Block @BKbreadBlog]

The police helicopters in the air, is there anyone who can explain to me 1 specific useful thing they are accomplishing or protecting us from?
