NYC Council allocated $6.2 million for community composting, but it's still not enough to reopen the popular Greenmarket drop-off sites operated by GrowNYC "I think it's a travesty," Gale A. Brewer says. "I think it's the most beloved program in NYC" hellgatenyc.com/grownycs-green…

"GrowNYC's popular Greenmarket compost drop-off sites are not coming back." What about the restoration of funding? Well—"While GrowNYC is getting a slice of the $6.2 million, it's significantly less than they have received in the past." hellgatenyc.com/grownycs-green…

After NYPD officers choked, beat and tased New Yorkers, Police Commissioner Edward Caban personally buried 54 disciplinary cases against cops. Ex-Commissioner Keechant Sewell buried just 8. Crucial reporting from Eric Umansky: propublica.org/article/nypd-c…

Sure, composting non-profits got some of their funding restored in the budget, but composting at farmer's markets run by GrowNYC is not coming back...ever. Great scoop from Christopher Robbins for the indomitable Hell Gate *subscribe today!* hellgatenyc.com/grownycs-green…

$6.2 million is not nearly enough to meet the demand for community composting in New York City, and as a result, one of the city's most popular compost collection programs is finished—GrowNYC's popular Greenmarket compost drop-off sites are not coming back hellgatenyc.com/grownycs-green…

ICYMI @nycmayor killed community composting. Another beloved casualty of Eric Adams budget cuts, upside down priorities, & (mis)management.

This account reports there was no toilet paper at the Beach 106th Street bathroom in Rockaway Beach today. With all the victory laps about the budget you should know @nycparks’s budget is $20M less than it was last year. thecity.nyc/2024/07/01/par…

Friday morning we're live with Tiffany Cabán of New York City Council and Carlyn Cowen (they/siya) of Jews for Racial & Economic Justice to talk about their NYC Budget fight, Cop City, Hochul's Mask Ban, SCOTUS, Biden and more. Send voicemail questions tonight for us to play on air (917) 740-8971

While just $6.2M could've prevented this cut to community composting, NYPD blew $53M as of early May for their violent, massive & unnecessary "show of force" policing of protests (balloned from the already outsized $7M last year).

Sylvia Hinds-Radix resisted giving top Adams' aide and friend Tim Pearson free legal defense - now she's gone. @JoeAnuta reports new details on the corp counsel's departure. politico.com/news/2024/07/0…

NEW: 70+ organizations call on Charter Commission to abandon Mayor Eric Adams’s last-minute, anti-democratic attempts to change NYC Charter. Say no to putting charter changes on the November ballot. NYers deserve better. justicecommittee.org/post/nyc-organ…

.Mayor Eric Adams's Charter Revision Commission ballot proposals are out. Two of them would strip power from the New York City Council:

A spox for Adrienne Adams calls Mayor Eric Adams's charter review commission -- which released its final report an hour ago -- a "sham." "...by putting forward rushed proposals that block voters' rights while undermining democracy and oversight of the Mayor's administration.

Today we will be joining other advocatory groups outside of the Brooklyn Public Library to rally against Mayor Eric Adams and his statelet to change to New York City Charter and increase his own power- we are totally against this move and support the City Council in pushing back

🚨Today, the Mayor’s Commission decided to advance five ballot proposals, silencing New Yorkers and making city government less responsive. This is a rushed and reckless attack on democracy. Read our statement:
