1/3 Today’s news that polio, a previously eradicated virus in our country, has resurfaced in Rockland County was and is jarring. Keeping our community safe is always paramount, particularly involving matters of public health.
2/3 Earlier tonight, I reached out to leaders in the Rockland Jewish community to discuss their thoughts on the situation as well as some of the concerns with proposed ways forward. I truly appreciate the sensitivity on the ground and the need to make sure the language used…
3/3 like that in my statement from today better reflects that sensitivity. No community should be singled out on an issue we are all concerned with and I committed to continuing the dialogue to ensure next steps are appropriate, relevant, and in the best interests of all.

2. Dear Governor Hochul,
NYC's suburban and exurban taxpayers have long endured unfair and unjustifiable costs associated with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Despite offering very specialized and highly expensive four-year and graduate-level degrees...
3. FIT has a sweetheart deal whereby they are considered a community college – the only so-called community college in the state that offers degrees beyond the associate level...

I continue to see pushed the offensive, ridiculous notion that automatic voter registration opens the door to non-citizens voting.

Let’s run through the obvious for our demagogue friends:
2/5

1) first and foremost, it was illegal to vote as a non-citizen before; it’s illegal to vote as a non-citizen now. Absolutely nothing has changed.
