It’s @nycgovhistory birthday! She keeps us going when it seems like we can’t. If you’ve got some time today add the women that inspire you to her database. Women rule the world, I know that better than anyone. Because my wife and daughters rule mine. womensactivism.nyc

Thanks for the encouraging words about "semi-retirement." Maybe we can make post-plague plans

Friends, thank you for the kind comments. It’s been a privilege to fight for New Yorkers alongside so many of you. I’ve retired to my stoop and will be undertaking new projects! Come visit! — Gene @NYPIRG

An even bigger grievance, to which riders objected, is the Governor's MTA reorganization plan. His proposal would make sweeping changes to how the MTA runs. The plan, announced last Friday, July 19th, will be voted on this Wednesday, giving little time to even read it.

At the meeting, the Committee approved $17 Million to be spent on rebuilding projects with little time and consideration. Today's spending shows how much money the Committee doles out at the blink of an eye.

The Times reported this week that @johnraskin, co-founder of the Riders Alliance, would be stepping down next year. A great colleague and talented organizer. He will be missed. Good luck, John.
