Here's what we're calling for: 1. Abolish the existing placard system 2. Authorize automated and citizen enforcement Placard parking is beyond reform. It is a system of corruption with a rubber-stamp from the NYPD, and we won't reclaim our public space until we uproot it. If you agree, come to our Nov. 24 meeting and urge the Board to vote yes: manhattancb1.cityofnewyork.u…
“What exists today is not a rules-based permit program that is occasionally abused, but a culture of illegal parking in which a placard, vest, or badge on the dashboard signals that the law does not apply,” wrote Manhattan CB1's transportation committee. buff.ly/8INxuMx

Is there anyone in the country with a political future as hopeless as Menin’s? Making herself into the corporate America sin-eater on the city council will make her a lot of money (that she doesn’t need) before it will ever help her win higher office

Environmental Chair Gennaro creating an uncomfortable, sexually-charged environment at his own hearing. @SpeakerMenin does not truly support women, and we expect will do nothing in response.

We need clean air, not corporate lobbyists' wishlists! That's the message 25 environmental and civic groups delivered yesterday to @SpeakerMenin and the @NYCCouncil--reject Intro. 561-A and stop harming our air. Thanks to @NYLPI @NRDC for their powerful testimony as well!

Huge show of solidarity by clean air advocates at the council hearings of a law that would gut the idling program. It lasted until 4:45 pm ! Really uplifting. @NY_Clean_Air

Bravo to @ReinventAlbany for a crisp testimony against intro 561-A.

This bill is absurd. If anything we should be increasing enforcement but weakening the current idling regulations.

Twenty-five environmental & civic groups are standing together to oppose the deadly bill Intro. 561-A that @SpeakerMenin is insisting get a hearing this Tuesday. This is the same move @Josh4Jersey is trying in Congress: poison New York's kids for corporate $$$. @AOC @NYCMayor

This is rich, coming from you. You are ignoring the ENTIRE COMMUNITY that is telling you not to sideline the environmental whistleblowers.
Twenty-four environmental & civic groups agree: Intro. 561-A is a deadly threat to New York's air quality. nycair.org/memo But @SpeakerMenin is pushing this industry-backed bill (with zero cosponsors) towards hearing on Tuesday. @OsseChi @tiffany_caban @CMAlexaAviles

Don’t you dare break what works. We depend on it to breathe.
Big thanks to @Chekpeds and @NYC_SafeStreets plus many others for supporting the Citizens Air Complaint Program. @NYCWater should take note--this program is really popular!

It’s 🍌s. I can eat my veggies & exercise but I can’t choose the air I breathe in NYC. Why weaken enforcement against idling trucks? @SpeakerMenin, please oppose Intro 561-A. NYers deserve clean air @KamillahMHanks @CMJustinSanchez @HarveyforNY @CMRestler @CMAlexaAviles

It is WILD to me that the most effective & moneymaking way that NYC has to clean up the city's air is about to be undercut by our own city government. Please @SpeakerMenin do what is best for our city and keep the Citizens Idling Program. @CMCrystalHudson @OsseChi

Who wants to protect New Yorkers' clean air? TWENTY environmental groups, including the latest @Earthjustice. They all agree: @SpeakerMenin needs to STOP doing the trucking industry's dirty work by pushing Intro. 561-A forward. Learn more: nycair.org/memo

After more than 350,000 successful civilian-generated idling tickets, this program really works! But will @NYCMayor stand up to defend our air against the trucking lobby? Intro. 561-A is up for hearing NEXT WEEK and the silence from @NYCWater is deafening.
