Lily Fan is an excellent selection for Chair of the State Liquor Authority and prioritizing shorter times for application approvals is necessary. Way too many small business owners are waiting way too long to open, create jobs, pay taxes, etc. https://t.co/OCNn9AUtEu via @TimesUnion

I tell a version of this story from @dodaistewart when I speak before groups of real estate agents, lawyers, and others. But it's not just NY, every state has the same core rules, although the details vary

On Saturday @RobertSBookman and I had lunch at Isabella's Osteria on Park Av South. Food was great and so was the beer!

I had a great time speaking on a panel yesterday with @pierredebbasesq @AndrewRigie and James Famularo of @MeridianCapLLC at the 15th Annual NYC Real Estate Expo! And Citi Field is actually a great place to have a conference!

@jehiah Im in the trenches - thats not correct. Citizens issue summonses in their own name with minimal City oversight. They get half the fine. Now a major side hustle for a small few. Big incentive to push the envelope. Many get thrown out bc the biz did nothing wrong, but most settle.

Great bill in the @NYCCouncil by @JulieMenin - Int. 1038 will make our air cleaner by updating @NYCWater Citizen Air Complaint Program and removing a quirky provision that unfairly allows private citizens to fine small businesses when you can hear their music from the sidewalk
