Great to see @SpeakerMenin taking on rising insurance costs and working to make the city more affordable for all New Yorkers.
A bagel shouldn't have to be so expensive — but rising insurance costs are making businesses and landlords raise their prices astronomically.
That’s why I’m creating the Office of Insurance Affordability, to protect consumers and crack down on insurance increases that are burdening so many New Yorkers.
New York's economy remains one of the nation's strongest—but competitiveness isn't guaranteed.

Worth a read: @CBCNY finds New York collects $12,495 per capita in state and local taxes, the highest in the nation.
New from @politico’s @NickReisman, citing CBC’s Top of the Charts:
New York still #1 in state & local taxes per capita. It will not become more affordable & competitive by ⬆️ taxes.
REBNY’s statement on @GovKathyHochul & @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani's announcement on universal child care:
One year in, congestion pricing is working: reduced traffic, cleaner air, and vital funding for transit.
Proud to join @GovKathyHochul, @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani, @MTA CEO Janno Lieber, state & city leaders & advocates in celebrating the program’s success.
NYC's goal: 500,000 new homes in the next decade. But the data shows the city is falling behind.
Since Q1 2024, NYC has completed 66,162 homes—just 13% of the target.
