National Grid Rate Hike Proposal Raises Concerns About Affordability, NY HEAT Act Backed As Solution

Yes!! #NYHEAT #CleanerHeatLowerBills harlemworldmagazine.com/national-grid-…

New Yorkers, Did you know we are all paying to build new gas pipelines across our state?

Please join me in calling on Governor Kathy Hochul, New York State Senate Sen. Stewart-Cousins & NY Assembly Majority Carl E. Heastie to stop pipelines & save you money by passing the full #NYHEAT Act in the budget!

Globally, investment in climate adaptation (as opposed to mitigation) is 18x below what's needed. We see the impacts of this shortfall here in NY. That's why we need the Climate Change Superfund Act in this year's budget. Michael Gormley Susan Arbetter bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This Saturday in Madison Square Park - what's old is new again!

Undoing the 2019 rent regulation reforms would inevitably lead to increased housing costs, evictions, tenant harassment, and homelessness. We are in office to create more affordable housing and protect families and communities, not the opposite.

Saturday, April 20th, free electronics recycling with NYC Sanitation at the Roosevelt Island Older Adults Center, 10am-2pm.

Wishing a joyous Eid al-Fitr to all who are celebrating tonight!

Our society can be judged in part by the way we treat the animals in our care. It's just common sense that if you set out to cause extreme physical pain to an animal, that counts as 'cruelty,' and you should get more than a slap on the wrist.

An exciting morning on Roosevelt Island as trees for NYC’s first pocket forest were planted! Thank you to the SUGi, Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation, iDig2Learn, & the Lenape Center for making this a reality!

#NYHEAT 's opponents are on the Pay More Plan - they want you to pay more for the same old unaffordable, dirty gas system.

#NYHEAT is the Pay Less Plan - you will pay less for a better, more reliable, more comfortable, more affordable system.

The Goddess also sent us science and books so we could understand how things like earthquakes and eclipses happen. Of course, if you ban all the books, it will be a lot easier to convince people of this nonsense...

I'm proud to join my State Senator Senator Liz Krueger as the only State Legislators in the country to represent three of the top 10 most walkable ZIP codes in the country.

🚨BIG NEWS🚨

DOH has finally returned Mount Sinai Beth Israel’s closure plan, and deemed it incomplete.

This is a big win for our community. There’s still a long road to ensure healthcare access for Manhattan, but this is an important step. Read my statement w/ colleagues ⬇️

I have been working with fellow elected officials to push for accountability and to ensure that emergency and inpatient health care service needs are met in Lower Manhattan. Returning MSBI's incomplete plan is a step in the right direction. crainsnewyork.com/health-pulse/n…

I am proud to partner with Sen Senator Liz Krueger and Open Hearts Initiative to be collecting essential supplies for the newest new New Yorkers. The outpouring of support from our community has been inspiring. ourtownny.com/voices/helping…

We'd like to deliver a $3 billion check to the people of NY every year for 25 years, paid for by the likes of Saudi aramco and ExxonMobil. That's what the Climate Change Superfund Act will do. Otherwise we're saying that NY taxpayers should pay to clean up Big Oil's mess.

The Climate Change Superfund Act (A.3351A/S.2129A), should be included in the State budget. It’s time for those who caused the climate crisis to take responsibility for their actions. Let’s hold fossil fuel companies accountable and make them clean up their mess.

Today:
- Andrew Marantz on whether Trump can be considered a 'fascist,'
- Senator Liz Krueger on her NYS energy efficiency bill,
- The Trace's Chip Brownlee on rural gun violence,
- Listeners, have YOU returned to the faith you grew up with?
