Great @BPHACaucus weekend focusing on what it would look like to build a NY where everyone can thrive — in affordable housing, quality healthcare, safety & justice, education, the workplace, M/WBE contracting & more.

Also a tremendous weekend to celebrate & praise @TishJames!

The world is my expense..
The cost of my desire..
Jesus blessed me with its future..
And I protect it with fire..
So raise your fists and march around
Just don't take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed!

@Datapolitan @ColinReillyNY @pwramsey @StevenFeldman @Esri @Datapolitan @ColinReillyNY Thank you for sharing my email, I still stand by it (including my praise of Carto and yourself). You were referring to an earlier release (2012). You might also share that I DM'd you requesting a convo but u never replied. Insulting? Bullying? really??
