TL;DR - we could have saved NYers billions of dollars every year in the budget we just passed, but we chose not to. Fortunately there's still time to pass NY HEAT and the Climate Change Superfund Act. nydailynews.com/2024/04/27/how…

Unlicensed mopeds, and (always illegal in NYC) dirt bikes and ATVs are a significant problem in the city. That's why the Senate passed my bill w/Alicia Hyndman to prohibit the sale of dirt bikes and ATVs in NYC, making it harder to access these vehicles. nydailynews.com/2024/04/17/ove…
