I am devastated to share that my dear friend Ryan Carson, who worked for NYPIRG and created the advocacy organization “No OD NY”, was murdered last night. I met Ryan many years ago through the DIY punk scene and he has been a trusted friend in Albany and at home. I miss him.

No more waiting a month or more between milling and paving. My bill would set a 2-week limit for DOT to complete all NYC street repaving projects.

Yes and we, disabled NYers, need your support for better implementation before we get to the more perfect image of accessible public transit the policy is going to help facilitate.
Subways & buses are inaccessible right now and we can’t rely on them when tolling soon begins.
Congestion pricing will make it easier for people with disabilities to get around New York City.
✅ New funding for transit accessibility projects
✅ Less congestion for Access-A-Ride riders

I don’t think we talk enough about the long term political implications of the Black exodus out of NYC.
When a large swath of deep blue voters continually leave Northeast for blue dots in red states, their political influence is diluted.
