Which New York Team is the most overpaid? Hint: It's the one that breaks your bank, not just your soul.

How much of YOUR money does the New York State Comptroller have? Hint: Guess higher.

140,000 NYC students are homeless. This is past a crisis. Every single elected official right now needs to use whatever power and money they’ve got to take this on. What is the State Comptroller doing about it? Watch this to find out.

For all those observing Yom Kippur, wishing you a day of meaningful reflection as the book closes. Hoping that the shofar blast - that "wordless cry” - can pierce through the surround sound of our lives. A call for grace and a call to action.

Albany just sent out $2 billion in checks. So why is Tom DiNapoli sitting on 10x that? He has $20 billion in unclaimed funds that belong to New Yorkers. After 18 years on cruise control, he still hasn’t sent it back. That's money that should be in your pockets.

Drew Warshaw @drewforny.bsky.social · 15d

While New Yorkers struggle, DiNapoli’s bankers keep cashing in. It's bull$hit.

Rosh Hashanah marks both a new year and the start of Teshuvah (“to turn”) – the 10 days between our new year and Yom Kippur. A time literally to turn inward and reflect on how we can be better and do better. Wishing everyone a moment of meaning and reflection. Shanah Tova.

"I would cut out the Wall Street middlemen who are sucking value and lighting our taxpayer dollars on fire."

Catch this: Our tax dollars go to Wall Street bankers to not do their jobs. Let’s cut out the middleman, save your taxes, invest in housing. That’s a winning game plan.

Drew Warshaw @drewforny.bsky.social · 26d

…So he pressured the NYS Legislature to pass a law that allows him to increase his stake in PE up to 35% (!) of the pension fund's assets. We need to cut out the Wall Street middlemen who are sucking value and taxpayer-funded fees from New Yorkers, which means cutting out DiNapoli.

New York public pension funds can add more alternative investments under new law

Big New York public pension plans can raise their alternatives allocations to 35% from 25% of total assets under a new state law.

Who is actually surprised by this trend? That's right: Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. B/c over the last 18 yrs, he quadrupled (!) down on private equity, increasing the pension fund's investment in PE from $10 billion to $40 billion. And he didn’t stop there...

Tom DiNapoli's version of ‘professional money management’? Handing Wall Street $21 million of taxpayers' money every week to underperform the market.

We need to cut out the Wall Street middlemen. It's our money and our power. Let's act like it.

To the heroes and innocents we lost 24 years ago, and to the people who years later are suffering and dying for the honest work they did in the weeks that followed, you are in my prayers and reflections on this day of days.

First Day of School @ PS397. Thanks to the teachers, principals, administrators, and security who make this all possible. Never taken for granted. And to all the parents…phew.

Albany is sitting on $20 billion of our money. In an affordability crisis, we can’t afford a “slow roll” Comptroller.

Drew Warshaw @drewforny.bsky.social · Sep 1

Happy Labor Day to all those on the line and to all those enjoying the day off. Hope you’re as energized by Randolph’s words as I am. With your help, we will build that organization and take the power needed to make New York affordable for all New Yorkers.

For 18 years, New Yorkers have paid a $55 Billion “DiNapoli Tax.” Enough. It’s time we cut out the Wall Street middlemen, save your tax dollars in the process, and hold our state’s Chief Financial Officer accountable in this affordability crisis.
