  • New York City Council Members Grilled Amazon Executives Over HQ2 Deal
    Date: December 13, 2018 Contact: [email protected] New York City Council Members Grilled Amazon Executives Over HQ2 Deal “When the light shines on this deal, it looks even worse.” Council Speaker Corey Johnson demanded greater accountability on Amazon’s impact on housing prices, small businesses and infrastructure in New York communities. “Has anybody asked how this going to affect housing prices? How about small businesses, already reeling from the impact Amazon has on their bottom line? How will this affect our transportation system in an area where its already limited?” (The Guardian, “Amazon meets public opposition at first hearing for New York headquarters,” Edward Helmore, 12.12.18) Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer called the deal simply “a bad for New York City.” “The council and the people of the city and state were excluded from knowing any of the details of this deal, and we must now reclaim our rightfully oversight responsibilities,” said council member Jimmy van Bramer. “This is a bad deal. It’s a bad deal for Long Island City, it’s bad for Queens, and it’s bad for New York City.” (CBS 2 New York, “NYC Council Looking Into Amazon Deal Made Behind Closed Doors,” Hazel Sanchez, 12.12.18) Council Member Brad Lander said Amazon has “no intention of being a good neighbor” as seen in Seattle. “I am deeply concerned that @amazon has absolutely no intention of being a good neighbor to NYC. After everything they have done in Seattle, how can we possibly believe that Amazon will not continue to abuse its monopoly power & erode our democratic capacity to govern our city?” (Twitter, @bradlander, 12.12.18) Council Member Jumaane Williams spotlights Amazon’s unwillingness to provide specifics on “cost — financial and otherwise.” “Amazon is eager to focus on its big promises and hypotheticals, but not on the cost — financial and otherwise.” (Office of Council Member Jumaane D.

  • 30,000 Homes for Homeless New Yorkers
    30,000 Homes for Homeless New Yorkers Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio: As fellow elected officials working to build a better New York City for all, we applaud your administration’s efforts to address the city’s ongoing homelessness crisis. However, with a record 63,000 people – including nearly 24,000 children – sleeping in shelters each night, it is clear that more must be done. We must use every available tool at our disposal to reduce the number of New Yorkers relegated to shelters and the streets, and so we are asking the City to double the number of deeply subsidized affordable housing units targeted specifically to families and individuals in shelters. Your Housing New York 2.0 plan commits to creating or preserving an ambitious 300,000 units of affordable housing. Unfortunately, only 15,000 of those units will be dedicated for homeless households – a paltry 5 percent. Furthermore, most of the 15,000 set-aside units in your current plan will be preserved units, not new construction, and thus will not be available for homeless families until they become vacant, which could be years. HPD predicts no more than a few hundred units will be available for occupancy by homeless families in each year of the Housing New York 2.0 plan. With well over 15,000 families and more than 16,000 single adults sleeping in shelters each night, this is nowhere near the level of production necessary to meaningfully reduce record homelessness in New York City. In contrast, in the 1980s, when the shelter census was only a fraction of what it is today, Mayor Ed Koch created nearly 15,700 units of homeless housing – constituting more than 10 percent of the units in his 10-year plan.

  • Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano Exploring a Run for Governor YONKERS MAYOR MIKE SPANO EXPLORING a RUN for GOVERNOR August 23, 2021
    Yonkers Times Home News Community Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano Exploring a Run for Governor YONKERS MAYOR MIKE SPANO EXPLORING A RUN FOR GOVERNOR August 23, 2021 Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano By Dan Murphy As Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul prepares to take the oath of office to become Governor on August 24, sources tell Yonkers Rising that Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano is contemplating his next step in New York politics and is moving forward with an exploratory campaign to run for Governor in 2022. Mayor Spano is in the middle of his third term in the City of Yonkers, which recently became the third largest City in New York State. Sources close to Mayor Spano confirmed that he is moving forward with plans to run for Governor, and that his candidacy for statewide office would depend on several factors, including how New Yorkers and NY Democrats view the job performance of Governor Kathy Hochul, and who else decides to get into the democratic race for Governor. The idea of Spano for Governor was first raised by Jerry Kremer, an attorney, lobbyist, and former 13-term Democratic Long Island assemblyman, on the PIX11 Morning News on August 5. Kremer said there are both the expected names, like Attorney General Letitia James and New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, as well as newer names like New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Long Island Congressman Thomas Suozzi, Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. Since NY Attorney General Letitia James’ report on Governor Andrew Cuomo forced his resignation, Mayor Spano and his political team were waiting “out of respect and their loyalty to Governor Cuomo,” said one Yonkers political insider, noting that Mayor Spano did not call for Governor Cuomo to resign.

  • Invest in Human Services, Not Over-Policing Our Communities
    June 2nd, 2020 Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, NY 10007 RE: Invest in Human Services, Not Over-policing Our Communities Dear Mayor de Blasio, The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified what the community based organizations (CBOs) in the human services sector have always known about inequities that exist within the institutions that all New Yorkers rely on. The outrage that has been expressed in our city – and across the country – over the last few days is not solely representative of an isolated incident, it is a reflection of the anger and frustration that exists from inequity and injustice being born on the backs of communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers over and over again. A strong social safety net is the only way that our city survives a crisis. As we experience the unprecedented intersection of a health crisis, a social justice crisis, and an economic crisis that could devastate our city for years, even decades to come, not all City agencies are bearing the burden. We were dismayed to see that the FY2021 Executive Budget makes cuts to crucial programs and social services that serve the very communities who are being hardest hit by COVID-19 — communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers — while maintaining funding for the NYPD, an institution that too often fails to protect and serve, and disproportionately harms, these exact communities. Services like senior food programs, homeless services, youth development, employment programs, public health and others – proven tools that help us protect and serve communities – are experiencing more demand than ever before, but instead of enhancing funding to these programs, the City is proposing more cuts.
