Another horse died last month. This month, another bolted through Central Park, hit a sign and dragged a carriage while passengers jumped. Mayor Adams backs a ban, but @lynn4nyc.bsky.social, @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social & @council.nyc.gov are blocking a vote. Pass Ryder’s Law now. #RydersLaw

Though the top four NYC mayoral candidates @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, & Eric Adams disagree on many issues, they ALL agree that horse carriages should be banned!   We're calling on @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social & the City Council to stop blocking Ryder’s Law now!

Seaboard Triumph Foods touts its use of anaerobic digesters to manage hog waste and produce “green” energy. But when the system failed, it spewed toxic sulfur dioxide into the air—and workers say the plant became a smoky, dangerous mess.
