STATEMENT FROM MAYOR DE BLASIO ON STATE ASSEMBLY PASSAGE OF DESIGN-BUILD AUTHORITY FOR NYCHA


  “Speaker Heastie and the State Assembly have the backs of NYCHA tenants. Today, they passed a bill giving NYCHA full design-build authority that will speed up critical repairs by more than a year. The rest of Albany needs to follow the Assembly’s lead: stop playing games and promoting gimmicks. Deliver the key investments and reforms NYCHA tenants are waiting for.”

EDITOR'S NOTE:

  It seems that NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has no idea how Albany runs. He as Mayor of NYC can not get things done in Albany by demanding that the State Senate and Governor Cuomo do what the State Assembly have done. That is not how things are done up there. 

  We only hope that the mayor has this same attitude when it comes to the renewal of Mayoral Control of the public schools. If so we can probably say good-bye to mayoral control, because Mayor de Blasio has shown all the reasons why it should be ended.
