Whats happening this week in the West Village and the New York Assembly

Advocating for Property Tax Reform

Over the last several months, I have written multiple times to the New York City Office of Management and Budget (OMB) about how the speculative nature of the New York City real estate market has caused property values to balloon at the expense of local residents. This, in turn, has caused an exponential increase in […]

NY Times: ‘Not Just One of the Boys’: How Women Fought Their Way to N.Y.’s Seat of Power

A century after the first two women arrived in Albany, New Yorkers elected a record number of women to state government. Here are the stories about how they made their mark. By Vivian Wang / March 25, 2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/nyregion/new-york-women-politics.html New York’s government has never looked so female. After record numbers of women ran and won […]

School Zone Speed Camera Bill Passed

I am thrilled to report that on March 19, 2019 my school zone speed camera expansion bill was passed in both the Assembly and Senate. This historic passage is the culmination of several years’ work to ensure that all children, their caregivers, and school staff are protected against the dangers of speeding motorists as they […]

Testifying in Support of Elizabeth Street Garden

In March 2019 I testified before the City Planning Commission (CPC) at the Department of City Planning (DCP) regarding the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) application that would destroy Elizabeth Street Garden. This difficult and complicated ULURP is a prime example of the need for the DCP to exact an evaluative and nuanced understanding […]

Opposing the Williams Pipeline

March 2019 The Williams Pipeline is a 23-mile pipeline proposed by Williams Transco that would run under New York Harbor to deliver fracked gas from Pennsylvania through the waters off Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. What could possibly go wrong? Williams Transco’s application for the pipeline was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee (FERC) […]

Newsweek: Death From Above–Lawmaker Envisions Bird-Safe Buildings in New York City

By M.L. Nestel / January 24, 2019 Death litters the base of the sky-mirroring Time Warner Center. Dozens of badly damaged songbirds bash into its panes and disappear when they meet Charlie Alamo’s broom and dustbin. “I’ve seen a lot of dead birds here,” he told Newsweek last year. Collecting chirpless birds has become part of […]

Passage of the Reproductive Health Act

On January 22, 2019, the 46th Anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the state legislature passed the Reproductive Health Act, a bill that I sponsored and helped to pass in the Assembly a number of times in previous years, and finally was signed into state law at the start of the legislative session. Once a national […]

Celebrating the Passage of GENDA and a Ban on Conversion Therapy

During the first week of the new session, in January 2019, the legislature passed my bill which bans Conversion Therapy practices from being administered to minors. While adults can make their own decisions, in the State of New York no person under the legal age of 18 who is questioning their sexuality or gender identity […]

Calling on the DOT to Improve West Village Intersections

In December 2018, I wrote to the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding a number of intersections along West 4th Street that intersect with Charles Street, Perry Street, West 11th Street, Bank Street, and finally West 12th Street. Because of the stoplight at West 11th Street, drivers eager to make the light at […]

Advocating for Construction Coordination to Mitigate Residential Complaints

As you know, ensuring New York City’s utilities are functioning at their full capacity is essential to keeping the City running. Although noise from construction projects is expected in the City that never sleeps, many residents in Lower Manhattan feel inundated with the constant flow of never-ending construction projects, extended completion dates and constant construction […]
