Watch why CBC says vote NO on Ballot Qs 5 🎥 A No vote isn’t against a strong RDF. It’s a vote against locking a weak one into the Charter. [Music by Sub_Clair Pixabay] [Gifs by Giphy]

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.

NEW CBC report finds NYS and local govs spent $12.7B on econ development in '25, much without evidence that it's effective and sometimes despite evidence that programs don't generate +tive returns. While this spending has ⬆️ 28% in just last 6 years, NY’s job growth has lagged the nation.
