Watch why CBC says vote NO on Ballot Qs 5 🎥
A No vote isn’t against a strong RDF. It’s a vote against locking a weak one into the Charter.

Tonight: NY Governor’s debate!
What we’ll be looking for: what’s the plan for the State’s $18B structural gap? How do we improve student outcomes from the nation’s highest per-student spending? And what’s the plan for federal Medicaid and SNAP changes?

Sneak peek: We'll be dropping a video on the Rainy Day Fund soon! Proof that even the budget geeks have fun [buying emergency newsstand umbrellas when it's sunny out]
Soon NYC voters will decide whether to approve five Ballot Questions that would change the City Charter. We recommend voters approve Qs 1, 3, 4, which would help NYC function better by accelerating reviews, speeding up transactions & making gov processes faster. BUT recommend rejecting Qs 5, the Rainy Day Fund proposal, which fails to ensure the City will become more fiscally prepared.
NEW CBC report finds NYS and local govs spent $12.7B on econ development in '25, much without evidence that it's effective and sometimes despite evidence that programs don't generate +tive returns. While this spending has ⬆️ 28% in just last 6 years, NY’s job growth has lagged the nation.
CBC Pres @andrewsrein joined @BrianLehrer with @NYFiscalPolicy’s @EmMurphEis to talk about the issue of fairness and New York state taxes.

Did you get a chance to hear @andrewsrein @NYFiscalPolicy @EmMurphEis talkin' taxes on @BrianLehrer this morning?

Did you know? Most NY State tax credits did not generate enough additional State tax revenue to offset their cost; film and theatrical credits returned less than 30 cents for every $ awarded.

Great that new fare gates have been working & are scaling! While MTA lost $69m less to subway and bus fare evasion in 25, it still cost nearly $900m.
Is your station on the expansion list? Take a look!

“The continued Wall Street run is great news for our revenues; the issue is we have to be smart and put some money away and not just build up a spending base that comes crashing down when the economy turns”—CBC's @andrewsrein tells @NY1 @jack_arpey

On Nov 3, NYC voters will decide on 5 Charter Ballot Questions. CBC recommends YES on Qs 1, 3, & 4—measures that cut red tape on sidewalk cafés, street safety projects, and building permits. And NO on Qs 5. Here's why:
✅ YES on Q4: Would modernize DOB with more flexible approval authority and create centralized construction permitting portal for City agencies.
