Final budget hearing on Wednesday, November 13 at 6. Be there at 530 to sign up for public comment.

[Robert Gesualdo Cantelmo @RGC_NYS]

As a Councilmember, I fought for better union contracts for our workers. We must rebuild our workforce and prioritize the people who serve our city. As your Mayor, I promised to categorically oppose any efforts to cut staff positions in this budget. Let us lead with our values.

Hope is a sewer rat

Today I’m devastated. For queer and trans friends & comm’ty, for the working class, for immigrants, for climate, for ppl with uteruses, for..

Working in a field so heavily relies on federal $ and support is weird rn. This moment feels HEAVY even in my tiny corner of the world🧵

City Hall about to level up again

[Jimmy Jordan @jmmy_jrdn]

Tompkins County Communications Director Dominick Recckio will soon shift roles. He was voted in 8 - 3 by council to serve as the City of Ithaca's first assistant city manager.

Maybe yours is a devastating tummy tsunami, roiling beneath the surface for moments like this. Maybe it’s something else that resonates with you. Lean into it. Let it radicalize you. Turn your fear into fuel. Tomorrow is another day.

It’s what I call a deep-seated uterine rage. A profoundly feminine, radically aggressive inferno that turns my fear about the future into fuel for action.

Today that fire is quieter than usual, but the pilot light still burns, waiting to be reignited tomorrow. Rest is good. 🧵

I don’t need endless scenarios. I need someone to tell me if I should start panicking.

Election watchers and party-goers: tip your delivery drivers, bartenders, servers, and drivers ESPECIALLY well tn!

@AMKelles please advise

If only we could harness the energy from the collective anxiety of NYers we could probably shut down a peaker plant rn.

[Rebecca Evans @beccabaileyev]

@DonaldBeachler @RGC_NYS @NYMayors And we both know there’s no way to know that without going door-to-door to find out how many filled out the census. Luckily, that’s exactly what the IGND is doing this spring: a door to door survey

Louder for the people in the back 🗣️

[Robert Gesualdo Cantelmo @RGC_NYS]

I have been seeing some misinformation circulating about the proposed Ithaca City budget, so I want to clarify something. The tax levy for 2024 was $30,690,864. The proposed levy, as amended, is approximately $33,410,000 (pending controller calculations). This is 8.8%, not 25.4%.

[Rebecca Evans @beccabaileyev]

@DonaldBeachler @RGC_NYS @NYMayors This is clearly something you disagree on and I suspect a Twitter “debate” won’t solve that
