A pair of brothers have pleaded guilty to trying to defraud Medicaid out of $1.6M. Thanks to @AlbanyCountyDA, @NYSPolice and @NYSOMIG for their partnership on this case. My office will continue to work with law enforcement to protect NY’s Medicaid program from fraud.

Happy 28th birthday to New York's 529 College Savings Program! 🎂
Higher education can shape the trajectory of one's life but is often challenging to afford. My office administers the state’s college savings program, helping families invest early and pay for the cost of higher education.

Mejor Juntos! Over 3.9 million Hispanic Americans call New York home. Hispanic Heritage Month is an important time to recognize a rich culture, a resilient history and the journeys and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities to our state.
A sad and tragic loss in Brooklyn. A tree fell on a NYCHA employee in a parking lot. My prayers go out to his family, and I encourage NYers to continue to heed the warnings about this dangerous storm.

MTA transit workers played a vital role in the rescue and recovery efforts on 9/11. Great to see @TWULocal100 members getting deserved recognition in a new documentary. The special screening of the film at @sept11memorial was very moving. Thank you to everyone who was honored Tuesday night for your brave service.
Thank you @PIX11News and @monicamoralestv for covering New York State’s $35 million deposit, which will help @PonceBank expand financial services in Inwood and Washington Heights.
Last night, at The Corridor Counts Annual Gala, I was thrilled to present the Community Advocate Award to Sergio Argueta. As the founder of STRONG Youth, a Uniondale youth violence prevention organization, Sergio is a strong community advocate and visionary leader whose dedication to youth violence prevention transforms lives.
A transportation company owner was sentenced for stealing over $1M from Medicaid using phony ride invoices. Millions of NYers rely on Medicaid for health care, which is why my office works closely with law enforcement to protect it. My thanks to Ulster Co. DA Nneji for his partnership on this case.

After the high holy days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a joyous time for the Jewish community to gather, celebrate and give thanks.
Chag Semeach to all who observe!
In Wallkill with Sen. @JamesSkoufis and local elected officials this week to announce that we returned over $16K in unclaimed funds to the Town of Wallkill Emergency Medical Services.

A great day this week returning lost money in NYC! I spent it with Assemblymember @SEichenstein visiting local businesses along 13th Ave. in Borough Park. Wonderful meeting so many people and wishing them well near the start of Sukkot. Make sure to check my office’s website to see if you or your business has money waiting to claimed. https://t.co/PL92qD4nis
The SEC’s proposal to rescind Rule 14a-8 is a blatant attempt to silence shareholders and reduce corporate accountability. Publicly traded U.S. companies that care about good governance should continue accepting shareholder proposals for annual meetings in the 2027 and respect shareholders’ rights during this period of regulatory uncertainty.

The Business Council is an important partner in strengthening New York’s business climate and supporting continued economic growth. Congratulations to all the honorees recognized at the annual meeting. I shared what we’ve been able to accomplish over the last few years and look forward to working together to tackle issues that matter most to NYers, like protecting our tax base and improving child care. Thanks to @BusinessNYS President & CEO Heather Mulligan for the warm welcome.
My office has designated 15 local governments in fiscal stress in NY during the latest round of scores. Inflation and rising operating costs are adding to the financial challenges. Local officials should be cautious when planning future budgets and use the fiscal stress monitoring system to assist their decision making.

NYC relies on state funding for 17% of its budget, with education and social services topping the list as highlighted in my new report. Both the city and state would be forced to make tough choices about paying for important programs should federal funding cuts occur.

Workplace injuries and illnesses among private sector businesses in NY declined nearly 18% between 2014-2024. However, some industries have a persistently high rate.

Wonderful to celebrate the vibrant World’s Fair Diwali & Navaratri Festival on Long Island. Thank you to Dr. Sumita SenGupta and the Arts4All Foundation for their continued work to bring people together and empower communities across the state.
Yom Kippur, a sacred day in the Jewish faith, begins at sundown.
May this holy day of reflection bring you a meaningful fast, a sense of renewal, and peace in the new year. G’mar Chatima Tova!
Fun evening at the Washington Avenue Armory watching the Albany All Stars Roller Derby Team and cheering for crowd favorite Sandstorm. Way to go, Sandy!
