Dear Friends,
I hope you and your families are doing well as we go into this July 4th weekend, the annual celebration of our nationhood, the American freedom and pride.
This week my colleagues and I in the NYC Council passed a $98.7 billion NYC budget, making greater strides to ensure more equitable funding to the millions of Bronxites in the way of essential services like food, education, and employment assistance—components necessary for the long and difficult road to recovery ahead. As your delegate, I fought for the Bronx's fair share of the budget, securing tens of millions of dollars for the borough and a combined $10+ million for District 13 to be utilized to create the necessary community programs, services and infrastructure so we can build back better.
Legislatively, as Chair of NYC Council Committee on Small Business, I am proud we held a hearing on four bills I have authored on third-party food delivery apps. These include bills to cap commission fees that cut into restaurants’ profits and prohibit delivery service offerings made without the consent of restaurants, as our city enters into the post-state of emergency recovery phase.
We are proud that as we go into the summer we introduce our District Office Mobile Hours with public libraries, so constituents can meet with our constituent representatives with any issues or concerns.
As we wish you a happy and safe Fourth of July, please remember we are here for you, contact my office with issues or concerns at 718-931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov.
Sincerely,
NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj
District 13, Bronx
