140,000 NYC students are homeless. This is past a crisis. Every single elected official right now needs to use whatever power and money they’ve got to take this on. What is the State Comptroller doing about it? Watch this to find out.

For all those observing Yom Kippur, wishing you a day of meaningful reflection as the book closes. Hoping that the shofar blast - that "wordless cry” - can pierce through the surround sound of our lives. A call for grace and a call to action.

Albany just sent out $2 billion in checks. So why is Tom DiNapoli sitting on 10x that? He has $20 billion in unclaimed funds that belong to New Yorkers. After 18 years on cruise control, he still hasn’t sent it back. That's money that should be in your pockets.

While New Yorkers struggle, DiNapoli’s bankers keep cashing in. It's bull$hit.

Rosh Hashanah marks both a new year and the start of Teshuvah (“to turn”) – the 10 days between our new year and Yom Kippur. A time literally to turn inward and reflect on how we can be better and do better. Wishing everyone a moment of meaning and reflection. Shanah Tova.

"I would cut out the Wall Street middlemen who are sucking value and lighting our taxpayer dollars on fire."

Read my Q&A with City & State Magazine out today:

Catch this: Our tax dollars go to Wall Street bankers to not do their jobs. Let’s cut out the middleman, save your taxes, invest in housing. That’s a winning game plan.

New York public pension funds can add more alternative investments under new law Big New York public pension plans can raise their alternatives allocations to 35% from 25% of total assets under a new state law.

…So he pressured the NYS Legislature to pass a law that allows him to increase his stake in PE up to 35% (!) of the pension fund's assets. We need to cut out the Wall Street middlemen who are sucking value and taxpayer-funded fees from New Yorkers, which means cutting out DiNapoli.

Who is actually surprised by this trend? That's right: Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. B/c over the last 18 yrs, he quadrupled (!) down on private equity, increasing the pension fund's investment in PE from $10 billion to $40 billion. And he didn’t stop there...

Tom DiNapoli's version of ‘professional money management’? Handing Wall Street $21 million of taxpayers' money every week to underperform the market.

We need to cut out the Wall Street middlemen. It's our money and our power. Let's act like it.

To the heroes and innocents we lost 24 years ago, and to the people who years later are suffering and dying for the honest work they did in the weeks that followed, you are in my prayers and reflections on this day of days.

First Day of School @ PS397. Thanks to the teachers, principals, administrators, and security who make this all possible. Never taken for granted. And to all the parents…phew.

Albany is sitting on $20 billion of our money. In an affordability crisis, we can’t afford a “slow roll” Comptroller.

Happy Labor Day to all those on the line and to all those enjoying the day off. Hope you’re as energized by Randolph’s words as I am. With your help, we will build that organization and take the power needed to make New York affordable for all New Yorkers.

It’s “Payday” and Danny DeVito has something to say on the matter…

For 18 years, New Yorkers have paid a $55 Billion “DiNapoli Tax.” Enough. It’s time we cut out the Wall Street middlemen, save your tax dollars in the process, and hold our state’s Chief Financial Officer accountable in this affordability crisis.

CNBC's Squawk Box:

It’s Friday (payday!). Tom DiNapoli just handed Wall Street bankers another $21 MILLION in taxpayer-funded fees – just like he's done every week for the last 18 years. For what? For them to underperform the market by 37%. We’re done playing by Wall Street’s rules. We need change.

It’s past time we stop the billions in Wall Street handouts, protect our pensions, and lower taxes for New Yorkers.

Had he just taken the market return and cut out the Wall Street middleman and all of their taxpayer-funded fees, there would be $100 billion more in New York’s public pension fund today, and he could have saved $55 billion in New York property and income taxes.

Over the past 17 years since he was appointed, he has paid $11 billion in fees to Wall Street bankers to actually underperform his own benchmarks by 37%!

Comptroller DiNapoli just released his quarterly pension fund report. Nowhere does he show the fees he’s paid to Wall Street bankers. Nowhere does he show his returns net of those fees as compared to his own benchmarks. So we did the math for him…

Together, we’re going to run and win against an 18-year incumbent – and bring the change and urgency we need.

Let’s go!

New Yorkers like public matching funds program A new poll found that 64% of likely voters support the small donor matching program and 89% believe wealthy donors have more influence in politics than ordinary voters

New York's public matching program is a gamechanger – and I’m grateful to those who kept the fight for reform alive.

Turns out, New Yorkers overwhelmingly agree.

Should New York’s $270B pension fund abandon Wall Street? A candidate running to be New York’s chief money manager wants to move much of its $270 billion pension fund into passive index funds.

As Comptroller, I will cut out the Wall Street middleman, protect New Yorkers’ retirement security, and stop wasting taxpayers’ money. Learn more: www.semafor.com/article/08/0...

Whether it’s Trump or DiNapoli, Wall Street wins, working families lose. Private equity promised big returns but delivered high fees, poor performance, and big risks.

We need to stop playing by Wall Street’s rules and start writing new rules that will actually help, not screw, New Yorkers.

What have New Yorkers gotten for DiNapoli’s near quadrupling down on private equity? Higher taxpayer funded fees, more risk, less transparency, and underperformance of DiNapoli’s own market benchmarks by 37% since he took office.

Donald Trump and Tom DiNapoli play by the same Wall Street rules. DiNapoli has increased private equity investments by 378% since taking over the NY State & Local Pension Fund. And now Trump wants to do the same with our 401(k)s.
