                                        CUNY is an economic driver for New Yorkers and the Adams administration needs to push for full funding to ensure students are safe and able to learn.

                                        I look forward to seeing the adoption of restorative justice health centers at all CUNY schools.

                                        Another economic drama driver of our city is three k and access to affordable local childcare.

                                        New York City needs to see a dramatic improvement in the timeline to pay contracts, especially to small day care centers and small businesses struggling to stay open because of unreasonable weight on payment for services rendered.
