The Bronx had 56 deaths in 2022, tied for highest in the last 20 years, and about two times higher than 2019. More Bronx bike riders were killed in 2020, 2021, and 2022 combined than the 11 years prior to 2020 combined.

“One traffic fatality is one too many and highlights the need for us to continue to advocate and bring attention to the need for safe and equitable mobility for all on our city roads,” said Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson. “Traffic violence is preventable and we will continue to work with Mayor Adams, the New York City Department of Transportation, Transportation Alternatives and advocates to create the necessary infrastructure to make our streets safer for our residents and families.”

This is the Bronx River the same year the EPA was founded, a place the city referred to as an "open sewer." This week, three dolphins were found eating fish in the river for the first time in decades. Yeah, environmental protection is actually a great thing.(Camilo Vergara, 1970)

New York City government lifts residency requirements for some lawyer positions amid shortage

I am opposed to the proposed change for many reasons. - It will allow for the degradation of employee and retiree health benefits. - It will not protect choice. With an average pension of just over $25,000, it divides NYC employee/retiree entitlements by income.
