In District 26, the most crowded race in Queens, candidates Julie Won and Amit Singh DSNY reopens Queens special dropoff site Bagga, who were relatively aligned politically, frequently engaged in squabbles. In the end, Won ended up in first and Bagga in second, so it wouldn’t have made much of a difference if their voters had ranked the other candidate second — neither of their ballots were redistributed during the RCV count. But Louis says that in order to win, candidates must embrace RCV and fight for voters to rank them second, third, fourth or even fifth. She said that Eric Adams, the presumed winner of the mayoral election, was at first wary of RCV but once he embraced it he began to poll better and eventually went on to win the election. “He wasn’t polling number one at first,” Louis said. “Once he started having a little bit more RCV conversations and strategy, I believe that shifted for him.” For candidates with their eye on a race in 2023 — this year’s City Council terms are only two years long — Louis has a word of advice. “Ignoring RCV is a losing strategy,” she said.

Adams’ win in NYC is the latest in surge for moderate Democrats By Johnathan Lemire and Karen Matthews The triumph of a moderate Democrat in the mayoral primary in deep blue New York City ap- pears to accelerate a recent trend of some of the party’s most fervent voters breaking away from its most progressive candidates. Eric Adams, a former New York Police De- partment captain, this week became his party’s nominee to lead the nation’s largest city after mak- ing a centerpiece of his campaign his rejection of left-leaning activists’ calls to defund the police. His win comes on the heels of victories by self-styled pragmatic candidates in relatively low-turnout elections — which tend to draw the most loyal base voters — in races for a U.S. House seat in New Mexico, a congressional primary in Louisiana and a gubernatorial primary in Virginia.

Adams, 60, made a strong connection with voters in the city’s boroughs outside Manhattan, and he spoke frequently on the campaign trail of being beaten by police officers as a teenager and joining the force to reform it from within. He was a founder of a group called 100 Blacks in Law En- forcement Who Care that fought against racial profiling and advocated for the hiring of more of- ficers of color. When Adams spoke to his supporters on pri- mary night, “he said unequivocally ‘Black lives matter,’” noted Christina Greer, a Fordham Uni- versity political science professor. “So obviously that’s going to touch a cer- tain segment of the New York population. He then quickly pivots to, ‘but it can’t just be cops and Black people, we have to address Black on Black crime,’” Greer said. “Well, that’s a message that conservative whites, conservative Blacks, of which there are many, and other groups also agree with as well.” Some Democrats dismiss the notion that the primary results, particularly in New York, signal a move away from progressivism and toward the center in the party’s politics. Wiley, a lawyer and activist, pointed to primary wins by progressives for such offices as city comptroller and Manhattan district attorney, and to a strong showing by wom- en in City Council primaries. “That’s what is moving forward in this city,” Wiley said, “and anyone who claims otherwise is simply spinning a narrative, rather than focus on Kathryn Garcia, a Democratic candidate in the mayoral primary, concedes the race to Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams during pulling us all together to say what solves our most a news conference, Wednesday, July 7, 2021.

Friday, July 9, 2021 • Queens Daily Eagle • 3 G uest Editorial Opinions Fixing America’s crumbling physical – and human – infrastructure By Bryan Keogh The Conversation Forget about “infrastructure week” – it’s infra- structure summer. Or that seems to be the ambition of President Joe Biden as he barnstorms the country in hopes of selling the $579 billion bipartisan infrastructure deal he signed on to. He’s making it clear, though, that he’s committed to his original plan to spend trillions more – including on what he called hu- man infrastructure. In Wisconsin, he called the deal the largest federal infrastructure effort since the interstate highway system was created in 1956. Unlike his more ambitious original $4 trillion plan, the bipar- tisan deal would focus on physical infrastructure, like roads, pipes and the power grid. Experts writing for The Conversation have been highlighting areas of America’s infrastruc- ture that are in urgent need of attention – as well as the reasons human infrastructure deserves to be treated in the same manner as the traditional kind. Lead pipes: A ‘silent killer’ The bipartisan deal includes $55 billion for water infrastructure, including the elimination of lead service lines and pipes. That’s good news, says Gabriel Filippelli, a geochemist and environmental health researcher at IUPUI who has studied the heartbreaking im- pacts of lead poisoning in children for decades. He calls lead in pipes a “silent killer” that dispro- portionately affects poor communities of color. “Children with lead poisoning have low- er IQs, poor memory recall, high rates of atten- tion deficit disorder and low impulse control,” he writes. “They tend to perform poorly at school, which reduces their earning potential as adults. They also face increased risk of kidney disease, stroke and hypertension as they age.”

8 • Queens Daily Eagle • Friday, July 9, 2021 Purdue Pharma exit plan gains steam with OK from more states By Geoff Mulvihill Associated Press OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma’s plan to reorganize into a new entity that helps combat the U.S. opioid epidemic got a big boost as 15 states that had previously opposed the new business model now support it. The agreement from multiple state attorneys general, including those who had most aggres- sively opposed Purdue’s original settlement pro- posal, was disclosed late Wednesday night in a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, N.Y. It followed weeks of intense mediations that resulted in changes to Purdue’s original exit plan. The new settlement terms call for Purdue to make tens of millions of internal documents pub- lic, a step several attorneys general, including those for Massachusetts and New York, had de- manded as a way to hold the company account- able. Attorneys general for both states were among those who agreed to the new plan, joining about half the states that had previously approved it. In a joint online news conference Thursday, some of the attorneys general who signed on not- ed that their states are in line to get more money faster to fund drug treatment and prevention. But they continued to express ire with the company and especially members of the wealthy Sackler family who own the company and have not accepted any blame. “No one is happy with the settlement,” New York Attorney General Le- titia James said. “Can the Sacklers do more? Hell yeah, they can do a lot better, but it should first be- gin win an apology.” In an agreement disclosed late Wednesday, July 7, 2021, in a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, N.Y., more than a dozen North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein states have dropped their objections to Purdue Pharma’s reorganization plan, edging the company closer to resolving its bankruptcy noted Thursday that the deal includes about $1.5 case.
