It's outrageous that Republicans in Congress have moved to stop federal funds for heating assistance, literally leaving families in the cold as temperatures drop. See if you qualify for assistance with home heating costs through the NY State Energy Affordability Program:

Mayor Adamsâ vetoes are yet another rejection of policies that would directly benefit working class New Yorkers. Instead of supporting bills to promote pay equity, protect tenants, and strengthen accountability, heâs chosen to block progress.

Tonightâs results are disappointing but not surprising given the Mayorâs misleading ballot language, which deceived voters about what these proposals truly do. The lack of accountability for abuses of mayoral charter revisions exposes a continued threat to our democracy that the State must address.
