Mayor, Union Leaders Rally for Expanded Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit

By Forum Staff

Mayor Eric Adams on Friday was joined by labor leaders, other elected officials, and working New Yorkers to rally state lawmakers to double down on their support for the Child Tax Credit and a further expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) — a critical initiative that Adams secured in last year’s budget.

Thanks to that expansion, a single parent with one child with an income of $14,750 saw their tax benefit increase from $181 to $905 — a 400 percent increase. A married couple with two children and an income of $25,000 saw their City benefit increase from $299 to $897 under the city payment — a 200-percent increase.

At Friday’s rally, Adams focused on state legislation that would expand eligibility for these vital tax credits to individuals with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN), as opposed to just those with Social Security numbers. Currently, a Social Security number is required to claim the EITC at the federal, state, and city level. This requirement excludes hundreds of thousands of hardworking, immigrant New Yorkers, preventing them from receiving as much as

$2,000 in tax credits. In New York City, 78 percent of undocumented immigrants were in the labor force as of 2017, with a median annual income of $25,300.

and to get more funding for child care. And we’re not stopping there — the ‘Working People’s Agenda’ that we’re rallying for today will bring fairer wages, better benefits, and a

• Helping 36,000 economically disadvantaged workers and residents of high-poverty communities — including 8,000 construction workers and 28,000 service contract workers — get connected to good jobs every year by working with city partners in Albany to finally empower New York City to require companies with city contracts to hire local community members.

• Doubling the city's current rate of contracting with minorityand women-owned business enterprises (M/WBEs), and awarding $25 billion in contracts to M/WBEs over the next four years and $60 billion over the next eight years.

“The Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit are lifelines to so many New Yorkers,” said Adams. “That’s why we were proud to fight alongside our colleagues in Albany last year to push for an expansion of the EITC for the first time in 20 years

better quality of life to working New Yorkers.”

Adams’ ‘Working People’s Agenda’ focuses on delivering jobs, safety, housing, and care to working New Yorkers. Other initiatives within this agenda include:

“The State and City have a responsibility to uplift working New Yorkers,” said City Council Majority Whip Selvena N. Brooks-Powers. “By expanding and broadening access to the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, we can support New York’s workers and their families. I commend the mayor for putting forward his Working People’s Agenda, and I stand with colleagues in government and union leaders to call for tax relief and job support for workers, as well as an increase in the city’s utilization of minority- and women-owned business enterprises.”

With the change in seasons come a host of bodily changes especially to the eyes, ears, nose and throat.

And if you think that the sneezing, watery eyes, and scratchy throat are just signs of the proverbial 'summer cold,' experts from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI ) say you might have to think again.

While many think allergies only strike in the spring and fall months, we're here to remind those of you anxiously awaiting the onset of summer that allergies are very common in the summer and actually o en last throughout the year.

e villains are grass pollens and mold spores -- the most common of the allergy triggers during the summer, with mold turning out to be more of a problem than pollen.

Here are some tips to help you piece the truth together:

--Symptoms which persist beyond a couple of weeks are de nitely signals that you have allergies.

--When your symptoms become progressively worse however, it is more likely that you have a cold.

--Itchy eyes, throat and nose -- along with sneezing -- usually indicate allergies.

If you have asthma, you are more likely to have allergies--nearly three quarters of people with asthma have an allergy to accompany an already bad situation.

EThe Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on Thursday announced that its bus Open Stroller Pilot will begin Phase II, expanding to upwards of 1,000 buses on 57 routes in all five boroughs.

The second phase of the Open Stroller Program will retrofit all Local and Select buses operating out of six depots by the fall of 2023 with designated stroller spaces. The 57 local and select routes operating out of those depots served a combined 250,000 daily weekly riders in 2021 and include some of the busiest routes in the system.

Dedicated stroller space allows riders with young children to board without needing to fold their strollers rst. As with the previous phase of the pilot, added stroller space on buses will be either an open space near the rear door or a space created by ipping up two side-by-side seats, depending on the bus model.

The bus routes that will feature an open stroller space include:

• Brooklyn: B1, B3, B6/6 LTD, B36, B64, B74

• The Bronx: Bx6, Bx6 SBS, Bx8, Bx11, Bx17, Bx19, Bx21, Bx23, Bx27, Bx31, Bx32, Bx33, Bx35, Bx36/36LTD, Bx46

The MTA received more than 200 customer comments on bus stroller policy through our online feedback form since the pilot started last fall. Four out of five support allowing open strollers on buses and/or expanding the pilot to more buses/ routes. Customers and operators alike have reported faster and easier boarding experiences, more comfortable bus rides, and more positive interactions with fellow riders on the pilot routes. In addition, bus operators on routes participating in the open stroller pilot were asked to record stroller usage, with over 4,000 stroller journeys tallied since the beginning of the pilot, and no reported safety incidents or conflicts resulting from the pilot. The MTA will continue to collect robust customer and operator feedback as the pilot expands to more buses and routes.

e additional buses participating in the Open Stroller Program will be identied with a stroller decal on the outside of the bus that customers can easily see before boarding. Once inside the bus, the designated space will be identi ed with a similar decal.

e designated open stroller spaces are entirely separate from existing priority seating for bus riders with disabilities. A bus customer boarding with a wheelchair will still have the same number of designated spaces.

“For far too many families across our borough and city, our public transit system is either di cult to utilize or simply inaccessible. But the expansion of the Open Stroller Program will make a world of di erence for families with young children who deserve to get around with ease like anyone else,” said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr.

Mold spores are ubiquitous--simply put, they are EVERYWHERE! And if you've been fortunate enough to coast through life thus far without having been burdened with allergies, well that's something else you might not want to take for granted.

Summer allergies can rear their ugly heads in adults who have never had an allergy. ese are the cases where allergies

Most people tend to pass o both summer colds and allergies as conditions that are not serious, but if le una ended they can cause serious problems, the most common being sinus infections. Anyone who has ever had one of those surely wishes they hadn't.

While there is no cure for seasonal allergies remember that your local pharmacist can o er advice on treatment, medication or allergy shots, to provide relief and prevent progression.

Until next week...

On Monday, in federal court in Central Islip, Surage Roshan Perera, 50, the founder and executive director of Janues Capital, Inc. (Janues) in Bellerose, was arraigned on a 16-count indictment charging him with securities fraud, investment advisor fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, in connection with a scheme to induce an investor (Jane Doe) to purchase stock in companies that traded on the NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Perera was arrested Monday morning and

the arraignment will be held before United States Magistrate Judge Steven L. Tiscione.

Breon Peace, United States A orney for the Eastern District of New York, and Michael J. Driscoll, Assistant Director-inCharge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field O ce (FBI), announced the arrest and charges.

“As alleged, the victim trusted Perera with millions of dollars of her hard-earned money for what she was assured would be a safe investment,” said United States Attorney Peace. “In reality, the defendant deceived the victim and used the money

to enrich himself. is O ce will hold the defendant accountable for his acts of greed and dishonesty.”

As alleged in the indictment, between February 2022 and March 2023, Perera contacted Jane Doe via telephone calls, emails and text messages to solicit her to purchase stock in companies that traded on the NASDAQ and NYSE, in exchange for a fee. Perera falsely told Jane Doe that he had relationships with large institutions, and could purchase shares of those publicly-traded companies at discounted prices. The defendant also told Jane Doe that her investment was a low risk venture

and he would use her investment capital to purchase shares in those public-traded companies. As a result, Jane Doe gave Perera more than $4.2 million. However, instead of investing Jane Doe’s money in those securities, Perera misappropriated those funds by, among other things: (1) paying redemptions to Jane Doe, (2) paying personal expenses, and (3) funding his day trading. To conceal his fraudulent scheme, Perera sent fraudulent confirmation notices and account statements to Jane Doe.

If convicted, Perera faces a maximum sentence of 20 years’ incarceration.

Astoria Man Pleads Guilty to Real Estate Fraud Scheme

By Forum Sta

On Tuesday, in federal court in Brooklyn, Rashidun Bokhari pleaded guilty to wire fraud stemming from a purported real estate investment scheme. Bokhari, an Astoria resident, was arrested in October 2022. Tuesday’s proceeding was held be-

fore United States District Judge Pamela K. Chen. When sentenced, Bokhari faces up to 20 years in prison.

Breon Peace, United States A orney for the Eastern District of New York, announced the guilty plea.

As set forth in court filings, between September 2015 and April 2018, Bokhari

Bokhari falsely claimed that in exchange for his investment in the purported real estate transactions, the victim investor would receive a 50 percent ownership in the properties. Bokhari fab-

ricated real estate transaction documents which he provided to the victim investor. After receiving almost $1 million, the defendant misappropriated the money for his own personal use, including transferring funds overseas, making mortgage and life insurance payments, and withdrawing cash from ATMs. As part of his plea agreement, Bokhari has agreed to pay restitution in the amount of $935,000 to the victim.

e government’s investigation also revealed that between December 20, 2020 and May 2022, Bokhari engaged in a separate scheme to defraud two additional victims in Queens. As part of his plea agreement, Bokhari has agreed to pay these two victims restitution in the amount of $191,100.

Bokhari’s victims are of Bengali descent and he exploited their shared ethnic background in furtherance of his schemes.

Anyone who believes they are a victim of a crime commi ed by Bokhari is asked to contact the United States A orney’s O ce at h ps://www.justice.gov/usaoedny/report-crime.

Long Island Man Indicted on Sex-Trafficking Charges

By Forum Sta

Queens District A orney Melinda Katz announced that Cleveland Sterling was arraigned on Wednesday on charges of sex tra cking, robbery and other crimes for allegedly forcing two victims to engage in prostitution and assaulting and robbing them.

Sterling, 34, of Uniondale, was arraigned on a 21-count indictment charging him with sex tra cking, promoting prostitution in the second and third degrees, robbery in the second and third degrees, grand larceny in the fourth degree, assault in the third degree, petit larceny and criminal mischief in the fourth degree. Justice Peter Vallone, Jr. ordered Sterling to return to court March 31. If convicted, he faces up to 50 years in prison.

According to the charges:

• Sterling met the rst victim, a 19-year-old woman, in 2016 and on multiple occasions through November 2022 forced her to engage in sex for money at various locations around Queens. Sterling took photographs of the victim and used them to create online ads for sex. He communicated with customers, arranged prostitution dates and collected and required the victim to turn over to him all payments for

the sexual encounters. Sterling struck the victim if she withheld cash from him. On an occasion when the victim told Sterling she did not want to have sex with customers for money, he punched her in the face and body—bruising her face and breaking some of her teeth.

• On April 9, 2022, at the Van Wyck Hotel on Liberty Avenue, while defendant was forcing her to engage in acts of prostitution Sterling pushed the victim down the stairs, causing injury to her ankle and

breaking her cellphone. During another incident, on November 25, 2022, Sterling entered the victim’s room at the Hotel JFK located at 139-09 Archer Avenue, struck her about her body and pulled a chain from her neck.

Sterling met a second victim, a 19-yearold woman, in August 2021.

According to the charges:

• He compelled her to engage in sexual activities with men at various locations for money. Sterling took photographs

of the victim that he used in online ads for sex acts and arranged prostitution dates for which he collected the proceeds. On multiple occasions, when the victim refused to engage in sex acts, Sterling struck and bit her. To intimidate her, he sent her photos and video of him physically abusing the rst victim to show what the consequences would be if she did not comply with his demands to engage in prostitution acts.

• On approximately Oct. 15, 2021, at a hotel on Archer Avenue, Sterling punched the second victim in her face causing substantial pain to her jaw. During another incident, on Oct. 19, 2021, at the LeTap Hotel on 139-01 Archer Ave., Sterling struck the second victim about her body and took a sum of united states currency, proceeds from the prostitution acts, from her.

• During the course of the victims being tra cked, they each received ta oos bearing a form of the defendant’s name that was used to threaten them. e rst victim was threatened that if she wanted to leave Sterling, she would rst have to cut o her own foot because his name was ta ooed on it so her foot belonged to him. e second victim who believed she was ge ing a different ta oo, was ta ooed with Sterling’s street name a er which he told her that she was now his property.

future applications as they apply for child care. e launch of this rst phase of MyCity delivers on a promise made by Adams to create a user-friendly interface that allows for the close collaboration of the numerous agencies involved and provides easier access to city government for New Yorkers. Later this year, the Adams administration will launch phase two of the MyCity portal to assist job seekers and small business owners.

MyCity will rebuild city services from the ground up to meet the modern needs of New Yorkers. Anyone with an internet connection on their phone or computer will be able to log onto mycity.nyc.gov using their IDNYC login or by using an existing email address to authenticate their

account. For government agencies, MyCity will act as a centralized data repository that enables greater information sharing across government agencies to achieve faster results for New Yorkers.

e launch is the result of a cross-government collaboration between OTI, ACS, DOE, the New York City Department of Social Services, and the New York State O ce of Children and Family Services. Before today’s launch, the city conducted months of user-testing sessions where New Yorkers una liated with the project shared invaluable feedback.

Wednesday’s phase one launch features the new streamlined child care assistance application, which sets a new benchmark for digital government services by consolidating a complicated paper application used by multiple government agencies (DOE and ACS) into a single online form that is expected to serve tens of thousands of New Yorkers annually and dramatically reduce the o en confusing and time-consuming elements of the paper application as New Yorkers apply for and receive assistance. Once an application is submi ed, agency sta will review the application and provide status updates to applicants through MyCity. Families will also be able to self-screen to determine whether they may be eligible for assistance before they even apply. Reducing the need for paper applications — the majority of which were rejected because of missing required documents — will further streamline and improve the application process. Families will still be able to mail in paper applications if they prefer that option. Phase one of MyCity also directs New Yorkers to existing resources for small businesses owners and job seekers, as well as to the city’s bene ts screener.

“New Yorkers are busy 24/7 so today we are making it easier for New Yorkers to access City services — 24/7,” said Adams.

Bronx Man Convicted for Shooting into MTA Bus

Jamaica Avenue near 148th Street. Believing the pedestrian had looked at him, Adams approached the pedestrian, pulled out an illegal .40-caliber pistol from his backpack and red three shots at the back of the pedestrian victim. Adams missed his intended target, instead shooting through the windshield of an MTA Q8 bus that was stopped nearby.

• A bullet pierced the bus windshield, grazing a 66-year-old passenger, causing him physical injuries. A second passenger on the bus, 20 years old, was struck by the same bullet in his arm, sha ering his humorous bone, causing excruciating pain and serious physical injury.

Queens District A orney Melinda Katz announced on Monday that Melvin Adams was convicted of a empted murder for shooting at an MTA bus and striking two passengers in August 2021. Adams’ did not like how someone looked at him and shot at him, hi ing the bus instead.

Adams, 45, of Barnes Avenue, in the Bronx, was convicted by a jury in Queens Supreme Court of attempted murder in

the second degree, assault in the first and second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second and third degree and reckless endangerment in the first degree.

e defendant faces a possible sentence of 25 years in prison by Queens Supreme Court Justice Gary Miret on April 21.

According to the charges:

• On Aug. 5, 2021, at approximately 8:55 a.m., Adams walked past a 25-yearold pedestrian whom he did not know on

• Both victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. e 66-yearold sustained a laceration to his shoulder and shards of glass were removed from his body. e 20-year-old required reconstructive orthopedic surgery to remove bullet fragments and repair his arm with a 10-inch metal plate and screws.

• A police o cer witnessed the shooting and reported the incident. Adams was arrested a block from the scene within minutes of the shooting in possession of a backpack containing the loaded .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun used in the shooting. e handgun was loaded with

one round in the chamber and 11 rounds of ammunition in an unlawful high capacity magazine. A second illegal high-capacity magazine with an additional 15 rounds of ammunition was also recovered from the backpack.

“No one should have to worry about being shot at when riding the bus. The jury convicted this defendant for recklessly firing his gun on a busy thoroughfare and he will have to pay for what he did,” Katz said.

Pols Announce $2M in Funds to Expand Program to Help Certain Commuters Navigate Public Transit

By Forum Sta

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) on Monday announced that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) would receive $2 million in funding to expand a pilot program that helps blind and low-vision riders as well as commuters with limited English pro ciency better navigate the New York City bus and subway system.

e funds were awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) grant program, which was established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help public sector agencies implement advanced smart community technologies in order to improve transportation e ciency and safety.

e grant will go toward adding more bus stops and subway stations capable of using the NaviLens and NaviLens Go phone apps. ese apps use “NaviLens codes” – colorful, unique QR-style codes that help commuters safely navigate around public transportation systems. When the apps detect a “NaviLens code,” they provide commuters with context-speci c information, in text or audio format, on nearby amenities such as station booth location, real-time transit information, elevator outages, and navigation directions to speci c points on the platform. So far, the program has been tested at the Jay St-MetroTech Station in Downtown Brooklyn and along the M23 SBS Manha an bus route.

Both the NaviLens and NaviLens Go apps, which can be can be downloaded on Android or iOS devices, use an algorithm to translate QR-style “NaviLens codes” into audio or text and allow customers to determine key information, including real-time arrival data, the accurate location and distance to the nearest

stop, crowding levels, and boarding areas.

While NaviLens helps visually impaired commuters reads out signs and provides train arrivals in audio to help blind or low-vision users navigate the station, the NaviLens Go app provides sighted users visual in-station navigation, trip planning information, train arrivals and service status information in up to 34 different languages.

“Many thanks to Senators Schumer and Gillibrand for helping the MTA secure this $2 million grant to expand our innovative way nding pilot with NaviLens,” said MTA Chief Accessibility O cer Quemuel Arroyo. “NaviLens’ innovative way nding and information solution will enhance communications and service delivery for customers with visual disabilities and riders -especially tourists- with limited English-language pro ciency. is grant will help us continue delivering on our commitment to a fully accessible transit system which is re ected in this capital plans’ historic investments for accessibility. is mission includes testing innovative technologies like this one which change the game for how we engage with our riders. We thank both Senators for their continued vote of con dence in the MTA and their support delivering a more inclusive and welcoming transit system for all.”

“I’m proud to deliver this critical funding to make our subway and bus systems more accessible for the visually impaired or those who have limited English pro ciency,” Schumer said. “I worked hard to secure funds in the bipartisan infrastructure bill for the SMART grant program so New York’s transit agencies can keep all New Yorkers moving and our economy going strong. ese much-needed accessibility upgrades will drive the local economy forward, create opportunities for good paying jobs, and increase access to critical services.”
