Coba Endorses 23 Candidates for City Council in the Upcoming Nyc Primary Election on September 12Th

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: MICHAEL SKELLY August 10, 2017 917-364-8142 COBA ENDORSES 23 CANDIDATES FOR CITY COUNCIL IN THE UPCOMING NYC PRIMARY ELECTION ON SEPTEMBER 12TH NEW YORK- The Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, New York City’s second-largest law enforcement union with over 20,000 active and retired members, is announcing today the union’s endorsement of twenty-three candidates for City Council in the upcoming Primary Election on September 12th. With over 20,000 active and retired Correction Officers, COBA has proven itself as one of the most politically influential unions in New York helping to elect Michael Bloomberg Mayor in 2001, George Pataki for Governor in 1995 and becoming the first union outside of Illinois to endorse Barack Obama for President of the United States in 2007. COBA President Elias Husamudeen said, “On behalf of the men and women who patrol New York City’s toughest precincts, the city’s jails, we are very proud to endorse these dedicated men and women from across each of the five Boroughs of New York for City Council. Whether they have served on the Council before or have represented New Yorkers in Albany, or have never even previously served in elected office, they each have earned our respect and support. We trust them to keep the interests of New York City Correction Officers and their families at the forefront of their policymaking over the next four years. Over 60% of our members, both active and retired, live in this city. We raise our children here, we take care of our parents here and we are a vital part of the communities in which we live. Now more than ever, we need leaders on the City Council who understand our contributions to this city and our significant role in maintaining public safety and who will never let us down. We will do all that we can to help these candidates achieve victory on September 12th.” (Continued) Listed Below is the Full List of City Council Candidates Endorsed By COBA MANHATTAN City Council District 4 Jeffrey Mailman City Council District 7 Mark Levine City Council District 8 Robert Rodriguez City Council District 9 Bill Perkins BRONX City Council District 13 Mark Gjonaj City Council District 14 Fernando Cabrera City Council District 16 Vanessa Gibson City Council District 18 Ruben Diaz, Sr QUEENS City Council District 19 Paul Vallone City Council District 20 Alison Tan City Council District 21 Francisco Moya City Council District 23 Joseph Concannon City Council District 24 Rory Lancman City Council District 27 I.

The Council of the City of New York
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK May 26, 2016 Honorable Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio, More and more nonprofit groups are operating with deficits and we’ve seen a growing number of them close. This is largely due to systemic under-funding from government contracts. A 2.5% increase on the OTPS (“Other Than Personnel Services”) line of city contracts with nonprofits would begin to offer some critical budget relief and help them pay for important items – such as equipment, books, paper, food, technology, rent, and staff development – that many have been unable to invest in for years. This would offer funding for approximately 3,700 contracts for community services including afterschool, senior centers, homeless and domestic violence shelters, child care, mental health clinics, and more. We are asking the Administration to fund $25 million annually to reflect the 2.5% increase in OTPS. Over the past year, the Committee on Contracts held two hearings which revealed the impact of this systemic under-funding. We learned that the budgets of half of New York City human services providers are in the red or barely breaking even. More troubling still is the fact that these contract service providers are one of the largest employment sectors in the City, and an overwhelming majority of employees are women and people of color, with women representing four out of every five workers. As we move towards adopting the budget, we ask that the Administration baseline this annual OTPS cost. Respectfully, Helen Rosenthal, Steve Levin Margaret S.

In addition, Governor Cuomo announced the team has agreed to play 28 regular season games at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum during the 2019-2020 season, seven more than previously planned. {00665744.DOCX / }Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York. (518) 449-3320 Theresa Cosgrove, editor, [email protected] This Week In New York/Page 2 "The Islanders belong on Long Island — and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever."

We won’t accept this as our fate as a city – and we’ve resolved to do something about it.” “For any New Yorker who has ever worried about a loved one struggling with opioid dependency, today's announcement is an enormous relief.

NYC Council District 45 Special Election Questionnaire About Us Launched in 2017, Voters For Animal Rights (VFAR) is a New York based 501c(4) grassroots multi-issue animal advocacy organization that is building political power for animals. Our mission is to elect candidates who support animal protection, lobby for stronger laws to stop animal cruelty, and hold elected officials accountable to humane voters.

If you support animals, then we want to support you! There are over 60,000 humane voters throughout New York state, hundreds of which are volunteers for VFAR who are ready to knock on doors, make phone calls and get out the vote to elect people that will stand up for animals. We deliver the vote – for the animals and for you. As an example, here is our animal-friendly voter guide from the NYC Special Election for Public Advocate.
