Very happy to announce that @NYCSanitation has agreed to extend the reimbursement for NYC bins to match the extension of the moratorium on fines - which is September 7th.
Homosexuality exists. In America.
In fact Andy, you have family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and constituents who are gay and lesbian.
It doesn’t make them less than or somehow unworthy of being an American.
What an absolutely idiotic statement to make.
At the Monday Meeting a few weeks ago I noted how telling it was that this Mayor appointed a deputy mayor for “economic justice” before he even entered office, yet nearly 6 months into this administration he has yet to appoint a head of the NYC economic development corporation. Where’s the “justice” if you are not growing the economy, creating jobs, or attracting business? https://t.co/Ou3RBOgei3
Many of my colleagues and I were pushing for more officers for the NYPD at the Preliminary Budget hearings earlier this year, especially since our city will be hosting some major international events. Glad to see Commissioner Tisch was listening and our uniform headcount is set to increase https://t.co/Nr4doZhy8U
I had such a great time stopping by the annual Albanian picnic. These proud Staten Islanders are such a great part of the fabric of our borough, city, and country. I hope they had a wonderful day celebrating their community and culture
My office partnered with the @StatenIslandDA 's Office on today’s shred event at the @csinews . So many residents came out to get their sensitive documents shredded. Thank you to DA McMahon and his team for organizing these initiatives around the borough.
We kicked off our “Spring Sports Series” with the @TIA_Initiative . A great program that allows kids in the IDD community and their siblings to play and compete together. This offering will continue for several weeks and is a continuation of our fall series we started last year
I had a great time this morning at the Verrazzano Kiwanis First Annual Car Show in South Beach. Thank you to Verrazano Kiwanis Club for your continuous support of the Staten Island community
It was great hosting our first community concert in Dyker Beach Park last night. Thank you to Il Centro, the IS 201 band, and the MAS Swing Band for a wonderful night! Stay tuned for future events
This Charter Revision Commission is an opportunity to bring all of the key stakeholders together to find ways to make government work better for all New Yorkers. But leaving the City Council - the co-equal branch of our democracy - without a seat at the table just makes this panel a rubber stamp for the Mayor’s socialist ambitions https://t.co/010J6skEdt
@bern_hogan: "What do you think of (Trump) saying he's a lifelong Knicks fan? I think that's how the Times reported it."
Gov. Hochul: "I ask him to name the starting lineup from 1993 championship team and see how he does."
(The Knicks did not win the championship in 1993.)
I don’t know what’s more alarming - the Mayor’s brazen plan to attempt to aggressively seize private property in an effort to create socialized housing, or this administration’s naive and facile misunderstanding of market economics and perhaps intentional ignorance of the Democrat housing policies that have created the housing crisis in the first place https://t.co/ux0yERRd2I
I want to wish an #EidMubarak to all my constituents that begin celebrating tonight. May this #EidAlAdha be filled with peace, love, and happiness for your families
A recently reintroduced version of the so-called “Community Opportunity to Purchase Act” - or COPA- has been rebranded “COPA Light” in hopes of making the idea of government trampling over private property rights seem more palatable. Don’t be fooled - it would still have disastrous effects on the housing market, chill investment and ultimately hurt the NYers it purports to help https://t.co/PnjH8lO4Mj
Thank you to the Sgt. Angel Mendez Detachment 246 - Marine Corps League for having us as part of their annual #MemorialDay remembrance. It is always a moving tribute to the Marines and other US service members who gave their lives for America. #SemperFidelis#SemperFi
As we spend time with our families and friends on this Memorial Day, it’s important that we commemorate its significance and remember those who gave their lives for our country so we can live in FREEDOM. In every flag raising, we honor their courage and sacrifice. It was a pleasure to join the @BKConservatives@fvellamarrone@gerardkas and my colleagues @KalmanYegerNYC@DMCarr@MikeTannousis@susanzhuangnyc@RepNicole this morning at the OLD GLORY LOOKOUT for their annual ceremony 🇺🇸🗽
I’m proud to be part of such a patriotic community. God bless our veterans and especially those that never returned and their families. God bless America!
May our nation never forget the sacrifices of the brave who donned the uniform of the United States. Their selflessness is the foundation of our liberty and prosperity. God bless and preserve their memory and bring comfort to their families who still struggle with their loss. I pray this #MemorialDay that all of our citizenry reflects proudly and gratefully on the legacy of our heroes, and may God always bless America
