WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
By Senator Rev. Rubén Díaz
District 32 Bronx County, New York
You should know that I believe
that we should give credit where credit is due, and because of that, I’m
giving kudos to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his Administration
for doing a pretty good job with the blizzard that hit New York City this
weekend.
It is important for you to know
that I am never one to hold back my criticism of Mayor Bill de Blasio and
his Administration when I feel it is important, but fair is fair. I
will not hold back my words of appreciation for him when it is equally
fair to do so.
Even though the National Weather
Service had been announcing the pending blizzard for a week, giving everyone
time to prepare, and even though the storm was not expected to hit until
the weekend, when many people did not have to go to work or school, the
Mayor used his time and resources to help the City of New York to be well
prepared so people would be safe.
Mayor de Blasio issued a travel
advisory before the storm, and a travel ban during the storm, due to the
heavy snow and damaging winds. He held several press conferences throughout
the weekend, with his key advisors and Commissioners by his side, keeping
New Yorkers well-informed.
The Department of Sanitation and
the Department of Transportation worked very hard before the blizzard to
be sure the bridges and roads were salted. Even though there are some areas
that still need attention, Sanitation crews are working round the clock
to be sure that our streets are plowed and safe for travel.
This was one of the worst snowstorms
New York City has ever seen, and I would like to publicly congratulate
our Mayor Bill de Blasio and his Administration for doing a good job. Kudos
to you, Mr. Mayor!
I am Senator Reverend Rubén Díaz,
and this is what you should know.
