Super speeders—people who are caught blowing past the speed limit 16 times or more in a year—are 2x as likely to cause a crash that results in serious injury or death.
And there are way more of them this year than last year. hellgatenyc.com/superspeeder…
Today, @kaymsanto introduced a bill to implement the Stop Super Speeders Act, which @Sen_Gounardes and I passed earlier this year.
The Council must pass the bill so the program can be implemented swiftly. It will save lives.
Thank you, Kingston, for your support of the SUNNY Act! New Yorkers across the state are clamoring to reduce their energy bills, lower emissions, and relieve pressure on the grid.
We just need the Governor to sign it.🌞
The SUNNY Act creates the regulatory framework for installing small plug-in solar panels. @GovKathyHochul should sign the bill today, so that some of us can start using it this afternoon🌞
New Yorkers shouldn't have to wait until the dead gloomy days of winter!
Slowing down super speeders saves lives. @Sen_Gounardes and I fought for years to pass our bill at the state level, and now @kaymsanto is taking it across the final hurdle at the city.
We are fighting for every family that’s lost a loved one to a preventable crash.
Thinking about my visit to Seneca Meadows, NY’s largest landfill. All of our landfills are at or nearing capacity and leaking toxic chemicals into our land, water and air.
We are running out of space and time. We need to transition to a circular economy ASAP.
The good news is we have many of the technologies and policy proposals already. We must pass PRRIA, the Better Bottle Bill, and @AMKelles’s circular construction package to dramatically divert from landfills.
It might be hard to fathom now, but all progress is until it happens.
Imagine having $100M to burn and choosing to light it on fire rather than pay slightly more in taxes so your neighbors can have healthcare.
These same people will tell you homelessness is a crime and we need more police, weapons tech, and surveillance. Do not believe them.
"Right now, Gov. Hochul has a chance to sign legislation that would help lower utility bills while reducing emissions and expanding access to renewable power. We think she should." ~@SpeakerMenin & my Senate SUNNY Act counterpart, Liz Krueger.

This is the right thing to do. Morally and financially.
Now do ours, @NYSComptroller 🙏🏼.
NEW: In his 10th month in office, @MarkLevineNYC has decided not to reinvest in Israeli bonds, breaking a campaign promise on a particularly fraught issue. He said he still supports Israel, but that the bonds aren’t strong enough investments:

We're paying $300M a year for gas that leaks into our homes, making us sicker. We're paying $1B a year for gas companies to tear up our streets to repair antiquated infrastructure. And then there's the cost of storm damage.
We must invest in renewable energy instead.
New Yorkers are paying $300 million for natural gas they don't even use

Trump is counting on the fact that Americans are too inundated by his corruption to be phased by this, but the weaponization of the DOJ against a sitting Congresswoman for "immigration fraud" is a new, albeit predictable, phase of the fascist experiment.
I stand with @IlhanMN.

ABOLISH ICE. END NYPD VIOLENCE.
17 New York State Socialists in Office and Democratic nominees respond to Thursday’s shooting of Oscar Belgal and call to abolish ICE, end NYPD assistance of ICE, and disband NYPD’s SRG.
3 years ago, I passed NY's landmark law, the LLC Transparency Act, to protect tenants and other people harmed by bad actors hiding behinds shell LLCs.
The bill was effectively gutted when the Gov vetoed a key amendment last year. But I'm not giving up.... icij.org/investigations/pand…
Yesterday I had the privilege of visiting Seneca Meadows, the largest NY landfill. The community told me about its impact on their lives, their children’s health, their ability to hire workers.
The landfill is harming their ability to protect themselves & live with dignity.🧵
2/ This isn’t just a Western NY problem. 20-30% of the trash in the landfill is trucked up from NYC, polluting communities across the state. Toxic leachate is seeping into our waterways.
A landfill-backed PAC is spending hundreds of thousands to elect pro-landfill candidates.
Abolish ICE. And get the hell out of New York. gothamist.com/news/person-sh…
