Sadly the mayor’s proposals aren’t to raise taxes SOLELY on wealthy landowners it affects all properties including the many working class Black NYers that live in my district, so I’m actually listening to MY constituents. However, I’ve always supported a mansion tax.
Just as the city can shut down unsanitary restaurants, the mayor has said, landlords that "repeatedly put New Yorkers at risk will not be allowed to operate in New York City — with no exceptions." In reality, the process is resource-intensive and legally fraught. to.pbs.org/3O2pyhW
Homelessness among Los Angeles County students has surged. Like we wrote a few weeks ago, rent control protects young people against sky-high rents and homelessness. latimes.com/california/sto…
A 7-month-old baby was shot and killed today in Brooklyn — an unthinkable loss. I’m grateful for the hospital staff who did everything they could and the NYPD for their ongoing work to find those responsible for this heinous murder. We cannot accept this violence as normal. Too many families have suffered this pain.
If your entire budget analysis is “tax the rich,” you may not actually understand the budget. That’s exactly why we need a more transparent process and a more informed public debate. I’ve always supported progressive taxation btw, but that can’t be the only thing we discuss.

Yesterday, on the heels the Council's proposal to fund free transit for low-income riders, we canvassed in every corner of the city to bring even more riders into the ongoing fight to expand Fair Fares eligibility to those earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level — giving over 2 million New Yorkers and their families to access free and half-price transit! 📺See @fox5ny's coverage of yesterday's Fair Fares Day of Action!
