Shame on you Governor Cuomo. What was that Curtis Sliwa called you on Inside City Hall 'King Cuomo'? It's time you abdicated your kingdom.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. Joins Yudelka Tapia To Open Her Campaign Office For the 14th City Council District
Thursday afternoon Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. stopped by the new campaign office of Yudelka Tapia candidate for City Council 14th district located at 2508 Creston Avenue off Burnside Avenue to pledge his full support to candidate Yudelka Tapia. Assemblyman Victor Pichardo also stopped by to help cut the ribbon, and joined with Bronx Borough President Diaz Jr. to endorse his Female District Leader for the 14th district city council seat to be vacated by term-limited Councilman Fernando Cabrera.
The 14th Council District is mostly people of color and immigrants so candidate Yudelka Tapia said she wants to make sure that COVID recovery plans put working families. immigrants, and people of color first.
Having been a parent leader in School District 10 Yudelka Tapia wants to get schools their fair share and bring gifted and talented programs to more Bronx schools.
Take on greedy landlords to deliver the affordable housing the 14th council district needs, to fix the broken criminal justice system, and support locally owned small businesses.

MAYOR DE BLASIO STATEMENT REGARDING RECENT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST GOVERNOR CUOMO
Mayor Bill de Blasio today released the following statement regarding recent allegations against Governor Cuomo:
“New Yorkers have seen detailed, documented accounts of sexual harassment, multiple instances of intimidation, and the admitted withholding of information on the deaths of over 15,000 people.
Questions of this magnitude cannot hang over the heads of New Yorkers as we fight off a pandemic and economic crisis. It’s clear what must now take place.
The State legislature must immediately revoke the Governor’s emergency powers that overrule local control. In addition, two fully independent investigations must be held immediately into the deaths at nursing homes and the disturbing personal misconduct allegations.
Precedence shows that investigations of the Governor must be completely independent of his office. The investigation into nursing home deaths must be free to examine campaign contributions from the nursing home industry. And the investigation into sexual misconduct must be led by someone fully independent of the governor, not the former business partner of the Governor’s top advisor.
2021 must be a year of progress and recovery. These efforts for transparency must be met.”
