Vote NO on Ballot Prop 5, argues @andrewsrein in a @NYDailyNews op-ed today. CBC was the staunchest advocate for creating NYC’s Rainy Day Fund; prop 5 would enshrine the failing status quo, not fix it. nydailynews.com/2026/10/21/v…

Did you know? NYS and its local govts spent $12.7B on economic development incentives in '25, but too many investments return cents on the dollar. Read more here: cbcny.org/research/13-billio…

Soon NYC voters will decide whether to approve five Ballot Questions that would change the City Charter. We recommend voters approve Qs 1, 3, 4, which would help NYC function better by accelerating reviews, speeding up transactions & making gov processes faster. BUT recommend rejecting Qs 5, the Rainy Day Fund proposal, which fails to ensure the City will become more fiscally prepared.
