Global climate change has been a hot issue at the United Nations conference. De Blasio presented at the UN about climate change where he presented his administrations plan to tackle NYC emissions. If this plan is followed, New York will help lead the way in cutting greenhouse emissions in the US.
De Blasio criticized the former administration for not properly addressing the homeless issue. Now, he is continuing previous policies and the homelessness rate has increased.
Supporting a heedless, excessive expansion in the middle of one of New York City’s most historic neighborhoods only perpetuates the “tale of two cities” he warned against.
Mayor Bill de Blasio signed the Earned Sick Time Act on March 20, which requires businesses with five or more employees to provide paid sick time for employees, which will come into action on April 1.
Anthony Shorris, senior vice president and vice dean and Chief of staff, at NYU Langone has been appointed as the first deputy mayor to Bill de Blasio.
