Rikers Island is scheduled to close in 2027. With crime and incarceration rising, will the 4 borough jails become extra beds?
Yes, the City is committed to close Rikers. Is this another wrong decision by the Democrats?
Albany
It’s illegal to buy whipped cream by persons under the age of 21!
Say it ain’t so Senator Joe Addabbo and Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato! I know you are trying to address a local community concern, but to ban it statewide?! Albany needs to have a circuit breaker to SHUTDOWN bad laws!
Congratulations Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. for winning the August 23, 2022 Democrat Primary.
I look forward to having debates and discourse on how to represent and unite not divide the people and neighborhoods of the 15th Senatorial District.
There are hundreds of poll workers like Charlene Davis in every election cycle.
Early voting became law in 2019 made the “temporary inactive” designation even worse. Because a typical worker could make $2,000 to $5,000 for less than 10 days of work, loyalty has a higher price tag. It begs the question, has early voting increased voter turnout?

NYS Disaster Emergency extended again until September 12, 2022. Started March 7, 2020.
Will Governor Kathy Hochul extend it again? The COVID-19 emergency declaration bar is set at 100 new admissions a day. The last time that dipped below 100 was around July 2021.
Insurance payments can make or break doctors and pharmacies. Patients can’t and don’t need to understand.
Insurance companies do not pay predictably. Every insurance company has unknown number of plans which affect patient, coverage and payment. Pre-qualified approvals may be denied after service/purchase is provided if missing or had wrong medical code entered. Worse, insurance companies could change its payment amount at will. I propose clarity, predictability and honesty.
The new State Senate 15 district excludes the entire Rockaway Peninsula, Broad Channel, Kew Gardens Hills, and most of Howard Beach, Maspeth and Ridgewood.

NYS Minimum Wage at $15 was a 67% increase over 7 years.
At the current rate of inflation, it’s worth about $12.
Starting July 2022, NY employers are to pay a 0.23% Unemployment Insurance surcharge.
It says on the NYS Department of Labor website, it’s about $27.60 per employee. True, if employee is paid $12,000 per year. The State knew billions were paid to false applicants. Why should good employers shoulder cost of those who cheated the system? Vote Republican!
