NEW YORK STATE SENATOR MYRIE CALLS ON GOVERNOR CUOMO TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE CENSUS FUNDING
[New York News\2020 Census]
Senator Zellnor Y. Myrie: “As we and 33 other elected officials warned in our September letter to the Governor, a potential undercount poses a grave risk to the rights, livelihood and wellbeing of millions of people in Brooklyn and across the state. Yet we have seen no sign of the release of this money, no timeline, and no plan. This is unacceptable. The census gets closer every day and the time to act is now.”

TRANSIT ADVOCATES TO GOVERNOR CUOMO: MORE MONEY IS NEED TO UPGRADE NYC BUS LINES
[Transit News\ NYC Bus Redesign Program]
Riders Alliance member Latchmi Gopal: “We are happy that the MTA is redesigning all the routes, but in order for the MTA’s redesign to make a difference, we need to see Governor Cuomo commit the necessary funds to make this effort successful and reflective of the needs of the community. This kind of grand investment in our transit systems happens once every 50 years but it only works if the governor puts state money where his mouth is. Too often, the already marginalized members of this city aren’t treated fairly or given necessary public services. It is especially pertinent to invest in better transit for Black and Brown Communities.”
