“Nearly a year after the remnants of Hurricane I “Nearly a year after the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded the Forest Hills one-bedroom apartment where Heidi Pashkow and her husband live, the couple is finally beginning to settle back into their first-floor home of over four decades. That’s after living with their son’s family for about nine months and spending almost $30,000 on repairs, Pashkow said. She received a couple thousand dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and filed a negligence claim against the city for damage caused by sewer overflows in the storm, in the hopes of receiving some money.” Read the rest of our “City comptroller denies every single financial claim for Hurricane Ida flooding” article, which is linked in our bio.
“They may be political rivals, but four candidat “They may be political rivals, but four candidates for the same office joined others on Tuesday at a press conference in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where they asked the federal government to improve conditions at Brooklyn’s federal jail. The four are Councilmember Carlina Rivera, former federal impeachment counsel Dan Goldman, U.S. Rep. for the Hudson Valley region Mondaire Jones, and Assemblymember Yuh-Line Nion.” Read the rest of our “Need to reform conditions at Metropolitan Detention Center unites rivals for congressional post” article, which is linked in our bio.
“A host of Brooklyn-based community organization “A host of Brooklyn-based community organizations are among the 32 statewide that have been awarded Environmental Justice Community Impact Grants, the state Department of Environmental Conservation announced on Tuesday. “Community Impact Grants support nonprofit, community-based organizations implementing a wide range of projects addressing multiple environmental concerns that adversely impact the quality of life in minority and low-income communities across the state,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said.” Read the rest of our “Brooklyn environmental groups benefit from state grants” article, which is linked in our bio.
“When more than a dozen Chinese community leader “When more than a dozen Chinese community leaders in Sunset Park gathered at a meeting at the end of July, they knew there was opposition in the community to their own strong support for the creation of Brooklyn’s first City Council district with a majority Asian population. They thought objections to the proposed 43rd District drafted by the city’s Districting Commission would come only from a couple of current Council members whose existing districts would be chopped up, making it harder for both to get reelected.” Read the rest of our “Brooklyn could get a majority Asian council district — and some Asian groups are objecting” article, which is linked in our bio.
