@jbarro This is not true @jbarro please do some research! This is desperately needed to keep independent pharmacies alive - they are closing by the thousands across the country because of the PBMs . The independents often lose money in prescriptions and this is 1000% needed
New York City is a famously expensive place to do construction.
@ElizCrowleyNYC, president and CEO of BTEA and Michael Capasso, president and CEO of CAC Industries, tell @thestalwart and @tracyalloway how insurance, among other factors, is driving costs https://t.co/WfYUapTAfI
NEW ODD LOTS:
How exploding insurance costs make it so expensive to build things in NYC.
@tracyalloway and I talk to BTEA CEO Elizabeth Crowley and Michael Capasso CEO of CAC Industries about the reality of doing construction right now in the city https://t.co/lRWKs1iL8U
@EmilyAssembly If anything g you should focus on getting more 3-4 bedroom apartments built so families can stay in NYC! How about you subsidize families who otherwise are forced to move. The incentives are all wrong
@jbarro Yes Scaffold Law (construction insurance). One out of every ten dollars (10%) of construction funding is completely wasted to pay for exorbitant insurance cost no other state has! Unions have not been willing to support reform to date.
@Sean_Butler1@NYCBldgTrades@GovKathyHochul โAnd letโs save billions on the project by reforming Scaffold Lawโ said the Gov. She went on to say โwe must stop lighting one of every ten construction dollars on fire due to unneeded and excessive insurance costs that are causing union workers to get priced out of projectsโ
@NYCMayor@grok if Mayor Mamdani successfully pushed to pass Scaffold Law reform in Albany, how much money would the City of New York save every year in new construction costs and maintenance across the entire city portfolio?
