The Thomas P. DiNapoli has released its audit of the $274M Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Treatment Plant project. It found officials properly planned and monitored the project — the independent validation ratepayers deserved. Read my joint statement with Mayor Greg Deemie:

PLEASE SHARE: There will be another public meeting on the Columbus Park youth & community center Thursday, 7/29 at 6 PM at BC Public Library. Get a first glimpse at early design plans and give your your input. This center is the City's single largest investment ever in our youth.

Today, I joined Binghamton Police, Rev. Henry Ausby & other local leaders to announce details of this year's National Night Out. The event, which promotes safer neighborhoods & stronger relationships between police & residents, will be held 5-8 PM on Aug. 3 at Cheri Lindsey Park.

The report issued today by the Attorney General speaks for itself — Governor Cuomo must resign or be removed from office.

Every person deserves a safe, quality, affordable place to live. That's why, today, I announced a $6 million commitment of American Rescue Plan Act funds to support affordable & senior housing in Binghamton, with the goal of leveraging millions more in state & federal grants.

In resigning, Governor Cuomo did the right thing for New York State. As Mayor, I have developed a positive working relationship with Kathy Hochul, our next governor who will make history. I look forward to partnering with her on future projects and initiatives here in Binghamton.

.Kathy Hochul has visited Binghamton many times. As Mayor and President of @NYCOM, I've worked with her to secure tens of millions of dollars for local projects that support a thriving Upstate New York. I look forward to continuing to work with Kathy in her role as Governor.

The City demolished another vacant eyesore today on Broad Avenue. Thank you to Councilman Tom Scanlon, who helped the City acquire this dilapidated property from its previous owner and worked with us on behalf of East Side residents to have it torn down.

I joined members of the Binghamton Fire Department today to break ground on the new downtown fire station and headquarters. This station will support citywide emergency response efforts, further revitalization and provide firefighters with the 21st-century facility they deserve.

Throughout the pandemic, the City has worked hand-in-hand with our non-profit partners to ensure federal resources go to meet our community’s most pressing needs. This is part of the $991K in CARES funds the City has earmarked for housing assistance. wicz.com/story/44632547…

This Saturday at 10:30 a.m., we will gather outside Binghamton City Hall to remember and honor those killed 20 years ago in the 9/11 attacks. Members of the Binghamton Police and Fire departments and former Mayor Rich Bucci will join us. All are welcome. binghamtonhomepage.com/news/binghamto…

HAPPENING NOW: I’m in Binghamton with my colleague Fred Akshar, Assemblyman Joe Angelino and Mayor Rich David to discuss the sad reality that NY’s bail reform laws have made the opioid epidemic WORSE #BailReformFail

“Bail reform laws are sending men and women who need help back on the streets. Giving judges the authority to act will save lives in Binghamton and across New York, period.” - Mayor Rich David
