But the Sunset Park project may ultimately undermine the film and TV industry by fueling criticism that it is being lavished with things it can do without. And that is ironic because the one freebie that executives deem essential is the tax credit.

Oddly absent from his talking points has been the creation of quality jobs, Bwhich must be part of any plan to help the poor and the working class. The omission has been ironic because employment growth has turned out to be a highlight of de Blasio’s first term: About 280,000 private-sector jobs were added in the city during his first three years—a historic achievement, NEW YORKERS are although not one attributable to his policies and perhaps despite them. going to work in It’s possible that the mayor did not initially emphasize jobs because of record numbers, but the mayor a prevailing sentiment that the economy was largely creating positions in says good jobs fast food, retail, home health care and other low-wage industries.

  • Julie Menin Director Office of the Census for New York City
    STATEMENT BY JULIE MENIN DIRECTOR OFFICE OF THE CENSUS FOR NEW YORK CITY BEFORE THE HOUSE SUB-COMMITTEE ON CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES ON GETTING COUNTED: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CENSUS TO STATE AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES MAY 28, 2019 Introduction Good afternoon, Chairman Raskin and to all members of the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. On behalf of Mayor de Blasio and the City of New York, I thank you for holding this hearing today on the 2020 Census. I would also like to thank LaGuardia Community College, as well as President Gail Mellow, for hosting us today; I think we can all agree that the census is among the most important issues facing our nation today. My name is Julie Menin and I am the Director of NYC Census 2020, the City’s initiative to ensure full participation in next year’s census. I also serve as Executive Assistant Corporation Counsel for Strategic Advocacy at the New York City Law Department. Given that the decennial census determines so many critical matters, from the apportionment of congressional seats to how federal funds for vital programs are distributed fairly across the country, ensuring a complete and accurate count of who we are and where we are is the very foundation of our democracy. As such, any threats to this foundation must be taken seriously. While we honor the good work of many of the dedicated public servants of the U.S. Census Bureau, who we know are committed to ensuring a complete and accurate count, we also know that the integrity of such a count is under threat as a result of the White House and Secretary Ross’ flagrant attempt to frighten immigrant communities into not participating in the census with the potential inclusion of the citizenship question.

UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease.
