Former mayors
We must always work to strike the right balance between delivering fair wages and making our city affordable for everyone and for that reason, I am vetoing both of these bills at this time.
Grocery delivery is fundamental for many New Yorkers, including some of our most vulnerable residents.
Grocery prices are already too high, so now is not the right time to do anything to drive these prices even higher.
I will not let it dissuade me from continuing to come to Staten Island — no matter what politics they have, because I know just as there are Republicans who feel that way, there are Republicans who are sincere in their questions.
We will continue to uphold that status and ensure that we do not allow ICE agents entry into New York City properties — be they schools, hospitals, or even the properties of New York City contractors — unless they can provide a judicial…
DEMOCRATS WILL DESTROY GREG ABBOTT'S 'TOTALLY RIGGED MAPS.' TREMENDOUS WORK IS BEING DONE.
But if the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will happily do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.
If you will not stand down I will be forced to lead an effort to redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states.
Well, it absolutely is. But flex, dosing, to me, they’re trying to see how much are we going to tolerate?

His excuse? The stocks were technically owned by Innovation Strategies LLC — where Cuomo is the sole member.
Not feeling like you’re part of a community, not feeling like you’re part of a group, it actually has an impact on your physical health.
Under our administration, the Department of Probation is using new, innovative ways to get our probation clients on the right path.
This policy is indicative of so much of Andrew Cuomo’s politics, where it works backwards from a petty vindictiveness, and it does not care who it harms in the process.
We must remember that Andrew Cuomo has spent more time talking about my apartment than asking why so many New Yorkers are being forced out of theirs.
I don’t want to minimize what was said and I don’t want to minimize the intrusion on our autonomy.
Nothing about our organizational chart has changed.
Violent crime in the District is at the lowest rates we’ve seen in 30 years.
We’re not satisfied. We haven’t taken our foot off the gas, and we continue to look for ways to make our city safer.
This success would not be possible without our historic investments.
More work remains, but it’s clear that the years of walking by New Yorkers in need are over, and this milestone is further proof that we’re continuing to make New York City a safer, more affordable city.
