As your mayor I want to dispel those rumors that the Department of Education is promoting segregation. It is just a coincidence that the lowest performing schools in New York City are those with Black and Brown students in the Bronx public schools.
I also want to dispel the rumor that our homecoming events are also a form of segregation. One must have a valid vaccination card showing at least one vaccination shot was administered, or proof that one can not take the vaccine, and has a 72 hour letter stating that they are negative for the virus.
It is not my fault that the Black and Brown communities, especially in the Bronx have the lowest vaccination rate in the city. It is the fault of the outgoing governor who did not give the city adequate supplies of vaccine for the outer boroughs, especially the Bronx.
If elected governor I vow to return the name Tapan Zee to the bridge now named the Mario Cuomo Bridge.
