A tragedy. 😢
But it’s a MAN-MADE disaster of disinvestment & neglect.
@governor.ny.gov Hochul refuses to tax the rich and to put in the money needed to fix up NYCHA and take it off fossil fuels.
NY Sen. Gustavo Rivera @sarahana.bsky.social #LivableNY act would FIX THIS.
Hochul: do your job!

Such an inspiring and enriching conversation last night with @sarahana.bsky.social, @councilorgreen.bsky.social, @uniteoregon.bsky.social. Thanks @publicgrids.org for lifting up our social housing vision.

Tonight we're talking about a positive vision for the future, the lives we are fighting hard for beyond the reach of the fascists trying to drive us underground and crush our communities— something that isn't hypothetical here in Portland.

Municipalities outside NYC shouldn’t have to conduct costly, legally vulnerable vacancy studies to prove an obvious housing emergency. Our bill, the REST Act, would allow the use of publicly available data. Here’s what our witnesses had to say about the legal implications:

It's a wrap! Over 600 people attended our six town halls this month, on why and how we want to replace investor-owned Central Hudson with a publicly-owned Hudson Valley Power Authority. We finished strong in Rosendale, with 200 attendees. hudsonvalleypowerauthority.com

PSC’s approval of Central Hudson’s Joint Proposal shows that state regulation of investor-owned utilities is a sham for customers!

Central Hudson's grid is expensive and aging—we can replace it with one that's resilient and not for profit! Join us at a town hall to learn how public ownership can take the energy system out of corporate boardrooms, and put it in the hands of the people! bit.ly/hvpa-103

Another month, another insanely high CenHud bill (this time because they estimated my usage last month—which I thought wasn't happening anymore—to be almost nothing(????)) so it's time once again to urge the NYS Assembly to get behind @sarahana.bsky.social's proposals to end the madness.

Central Hudson's Joint Proposal authorizes an 8.6% increase in electric delivery revenues, and 9.4% in gas, plus an increase of Return on Equity to 9.5%. I oppose the proposal because corporate monopolies shouldn't be allowed to raise rates to increase profits.

A historically late state budget passed on Thursday night, nine days after the Governor first announced a budget deal. At $254.3 billion, the budget includes some good things and some bad things. The main problem, however, is that the process is entirely broken.

Yesterday I submitted a comment to the PSC and urged it to conduct an analysis on whether public ownership of Central Hudson will lower its rates, and to lower the authorized rate of return on equity (ROE) that determines how much profit the company can collect through rates.

Denial of Palestinian rights is being used to enforce fascism at home—that is how it almost always works.
🚨 Breaking: Mohsen Madawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia University, was detained today at the immigration office in Colchester, VT. This arrest raises serious concerns about the rights of individuals in the immigration process. We will share updates as we learn more.
