Levin Honorable Karen Koslowitz New York City Council City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Speaker Johnson and Council Member Ayala, Chin, Levin and Koslowitz, In this city, we believe safety and fairness walk hand in hand. That's why today, New York City is not only the safest big city in America - we also have the lowest incarceration rate of any big city in America. Together, we are ending the era of mass incarceration. Over the past year, we have worked to engage the neighborhoods of Mott Haven, Chinatown, Downtown Brooklyn, and Kew Gardens in order to plan for the closure of the jails on Rikers Island and the creation of a system of four new borough-based facilities. As we move forward with the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) for community-based jails, together we take another step towards realizing a smaller, safer, and fairer justice system. The City has undertaken a robust community engagement effort, which is ongoing and will continue throughout the design and construction of the proposed borough-based jail system. This includes direct engagement with neighborhood residents, community leaders, and advocates to develop recommendations regarding the facilities and surrounding community needs. This administration has actively worked to incorporate the feedback we have heard throughout this process and to ensure that the new borough-based facilities will be seen as an asset to the surrounding neighborhood.

  • John J. Marchi Papers
    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

HUD’S Budget For Fiscal Year 2003 At Issue By Eileen Elliott n May 22, 2002, over 800 New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents boarded 21 bus- es and headed to Washington, D.C. to rally against the proposed $417 million cut in the U.S. De- Opartment of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Capital Funding Program for Fiscal Year 2003. They were joined by some 200 residents from public housing authorities in Buffalo, New York, Bal- timore, Maryland, Cleveland, Ohio, Georgetown, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico. Because there was no room large enough to accommodate them at the Capitol, the group converged at the nearby Hyatt Regency Hotel. There, in the words of Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) Executive Director Su- nia Zaterman, who also attended, they raised their voices, “loud, insistently, again and again.” As the residents found their York City Congressional delega- would be a reduction of $63 mil- seats in Ballroom A of the Hyatt, tion, and to 35 housing authorities lion from the Fiscal Year 2002 al- more often than not, they seemed around the country to rally their location of $402.4 million. unable to resist the urge to tap the support.
