Last week the City released an outline of its BQE public engagement process.

I’m looking forward to robust community engagement and transparency as this process moves forward. We need to fully rethink the corridor, bury the highway, reconnect communities with more open space, and address noise and pollution.

This process must be part of a strategy of rethinking how freight moves in our city. We need a 21st century solution.

Hoy es un día histórico. El American Rescue Plan le extiende a Puerto Rico el Child Tax Credit y el Earned Income Tax Credit. Llevo muchísimos años trabajando de cerca con mis colegas demócratas y con organizaciones como el @IDJ_PR @grupocne y @CenterOnBudget para lograrlo. El #ARP también le brindará a PR:
-cerca de 4.2 billones en ayuda directa al gobierno central y a los municipios
-ayuda directa a los ciudadanos: las personas que tuvieron en 2020 o 2019 ingresos anuales de hasta $75,000 recibirán un cheque de $1,400.
-cerca de 1 billón para NAP

BFD! Proud to stand with @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer as they sign this bill. A huge step forward to help working families recover from this pandemic.

The #HeroesAct, the #coronavirus bill we are voting on today, contains several important priorities I fought for. While the bill could go further, I’m pleased with much of what we secured. 1/12 The bill boosts funds for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) by 15%. In my district, I’ve seen lines at local food banks. Families need this assistance. 2/12

I just called the Director of BOP. He agreed situation is unacceptable and that contractor had left MDC. Given how badly MDC is handling, he agreed to get BOP Regional Director involved. We stressed need to get detainees with medical needs moved. He also found it unacceptable I wasn't allowed to speak with inmates during last night's visit.

Continuing to monitor and push for answers & immediate action.
