Governor Andrew Cuomo released the following statement today after Counsel to the Governor Alphonso David issued a letter to New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson on Tuesday. The NYCHA statement referenced in the Governor's statement is available here.
"I am in receipt of the NYCHA tenants' statement issued today. We stand united with the NYCHA tenants and believe their position is correct. Further, I represented this position to the City Council yesterday and will continue to promote the position of the NYCHA tenants. See the letter of yesterday's meeting that summarizes our position.
"Our agreement with the City Council is that I would pursue design/bill legislation and pursue an emergency declaration, which would allow an independent contractor to be selected to do vital repair work. Additionally, a three-member board would be formed to select and oversee the contractor. The three-member board would consist of an appointee by the Mayor, City Council and tenants."
