Now, the Assembly sponsor @emilyassembly.bsky.social calls for the Assembly to follow the Senate and pass this bill A.2315 to expand and strengthen the State Commission of Correction. Lives are at stake and action must be taken to increase oversight and accountability.

$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed.

But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem.

We have a solution to make utilities affordableโ€”it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.

This slate delivers fresh faces with the right attitudes, experience, and vision for our city.

I hope you take a deeper dive into these candidates and make the decision thatโ€™s right for you.

We have a chance to build a city we're proud of this election โ€” let's take it. 11/

In my personal capacity, I am going a step further and endorsing a full slate. I believe each of these people would bring a fantastic change to city hall.

In this crucial election, when the stakes are so high, people should rank 5 candidates โ€” just not Andrew Cuomo. 3/

Coming together as a coalition of elected officials has been an important shift for NBK โ€” we support one another and work together on initiatives that are good for our community.

It was important to us to collaborate on our endorsements in the same fashion. 2/

๐ŸงตWe tend to celebrate individual politicians, but legislating is a team sport.

North Brooklyn was once party machine-dominated, with men (yes, mostly men) fighting each other for power โ€” and our community paid for it. 1/

โ€œThereโ€™s no question that New York State must make it harder for people who show reckless disregard for public safety on the roads to put others at risk.โ€

@emilyassembly.bsky.social talks about how Mayor Eric Adams continues to serve himself at the expense of New Yorkers. Gov Hochul must remove Adams from office and protect our communities.

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run.

The paper offered NO EXPLANATION.

This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump.

We debated the Climate Superfund Act until 2 am last spring against politicians paid for by oil/gas.

2024 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record. NY desperately needs this revenue to mitigate disasters and transition off fossil fuels. Sign the bill, @GovKathyHochul.
