@drichardsqns.bsky.social is right and the council is being duplicitous: Props 2-5 are the housing reforms we need, and the public will still have a voice. Vote yes. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/17/w...

. @drichardsqns.bsky.social knows that working class Queens residents are being displaced because we don’t build enough housing. We’ve lost 200,000 Black residents over 20 years and 140,000 public school kids are homeless.

I'm proud to have invested $78+ million into Queens schools during my term to build more classroom seats, create hydroponics labs and more. But we've only scratched the surface.
Looking forward to working with you, @DOEChancellor, to give our kids the best education possible.
