NYC Climate Package

It’s been a big week for @ChrisMarteNYC, who now has a perfect 🌎-bill sponsorship record on our Climate Scorecard! Lots of ❤️ too for @alexaforcouncil’s beyond necessary Intro 48, providing environmental justice to our immigrant communities! Scorecard: legislation.support/climate-packag…

Amazon has paid just $5,400 of the more than $9.8 million in fines and penalties related to illegal idling that it owes the city. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/16/ama…

Hi @ShaunAbreu are you ready for DOT to issue fines directly when handling reports of blocked fire hydrants? (Intro 654) “As they fought the blaze, firefighters found two cars illegally parked in front of fire hydrants” nydailynews.com/2026/03/06/mas…

Some great Climate Scorecard bills are picking up significant early support from 🌎-focused Councilmembers! Thanks Farah Louis, @LincolnRestler, @alexaforcouncil, Chris Marte, @galeabrewer, @Lynn4NYC and @voteshekar for leading the way forward!

@NYCWater 你们拒绝让讲中文的人报告空气污染问题？ thefootprint.substack.com/p/nycs-air-qua…

You make us feel like a #CryingHorse when we hear you flush wet wipes. #LunarNewYear #TrashItDontFlushIt

Excited to launch our 2026-2029 Session City Council Climate Scorecard based on Council members’ support for the best (and the worst) environmental legislation! Let us know if we left bills out! And how’s your CM doing? legislation.support/climate-packag…

@JulieMenin @nycLV @NYCCouncil Intro 11 For The Win

I’m honored to have earned a perfect score from @nyclv. My @NYCCouncil colleagues and I will continue fighting for stronger environmental protections and a cleaner, healthier future for all New Yorkers.

Some great work by @CenterEnvHealth and its head @KizzyCG5 ! Keep fighting the good fight against corporate polluters of all stripes.

Some good news…

Very early indications from City Council’s new term are bright! Fresh legislation from e.g. @RitaJosephNYC, @JulieMenin, Justin Sanchez and @ShaunAbreu aiming for a cleaner, healthier, fairer and safer NYC!

@THECITYNY NICE!!!!!!

Rohit Aggarwala resigned from his position as commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection on Wednesday, according to an email obtained by THE CITY. thecity.nyc/2026/01/21/env…

@LincolnRestler Interesting take, but no, Zohran was right to replace him.

Rit is a brilliant leader who was a terrific DEP commissioner. He did a great job driving a climate agenda in a challenging administration. He leaves big shoes to fill. Grateful for his partnership and service to our city.

@andrewsiff4NY @NYCWater @NYCMayor The citizens of NYC will breathe a breath of fresh air with the departure of Rohit Aggarwala, former DEP Commissioner and NYC Climate Czar. Most were unaware but he chose corporate air polluters over residents, related to engine idling enforcement and related programs/policy.

Another departure today from NYC agencies — @NYCWater — DEP Commissioner Rit Aggarwala resigned. No word yet on a replacement from @NYCMayor admin. #NBC4NY

We need @LincolnRestler's Intro. 80 to be reintroduced, strengthened to include reporting activity like this, and then passed quickly!

@NYCMayorsOffice @NYCParks Nice! When are you replacing the anti-immigrant DEP Commissioner?

I am proud to appoint Tricia Shimamura as NYC's new @NYCParks Commissioner today. Tricia has spent her career in public service fighting for working people, most recently as Manhattan Borough Parks Commissioner. In a city where almost everything costs something, our parks belong to everyone.

@ncnycboy @NYCMayor With that attitude, maybe you can be the next racist DEP commissioner.

@ClimatePackage @NYCMayor English is what real Americans speak. If you can't learn it, leave.

Dude, if only people who park illegally were sure to get a ticket! We need @LincolnRestler's Intro. 80 to be reintroduced to ensure that real enforcement keeps our cities safe.
