@POTUS GOP governors press for meeting with Biden over "emergent crisis" on border. I'm pro-Biden, but this is deplorable for everyone & must be dealt with. newsweek.com/gop-governors-… 1/ As a Building Designer & Activist, it's easy for me to envision Border Towns, with bi-walls, partly set up with immigrants own labor, gaining points for eventual permission to enter the U.S. legally.

1/3 How to pay for every mayoral candidate's plans: 1. Change City Charter to permanently increase city pension plan payments to cover payouts, forever, with COLAs & a small increase to incentivize acceptance. 2/3 2. The pension fund retains roughly 95% every year, never paid out, more than that, net of fees & contributions. This is a massive gift to Wall Street, doing little for NYC and increasing borrowing costs.
