By Forum Staff U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) announced on Friday that she recently led a letter – signed onto by 14 other Queens elected officials – calling for New York State to prioritize flooding in the borough as it finalizes a key program to help address climateThosechange.joining the letter include Queens Borough President Donovan Richards; State Senators Jessica Ramos, John Liu and Leroy Comrie; Assemblymembers Brian Barnwell, Catalina Cruz, Andrew Hevesi, David Weprin, Jenifer Rajkumar and Ed Braunstein; and Councilmembers Linda Lee, Lynn Schulman, James Gennaro and SandraTheUng.correspondence asks the State De partment of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to ensure that the types of floods occurring in Queens are a central part of the criteria in the Disadvantaged Commu nities program, an initiative to ensure that disadvantaged, frontline and otherwise underserved communities benefit from the state’s transition to cleaner, greener sources of energy. These types of disadvantaged communities are areas that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and con sist of low and moderate income house holds, among other things. If this flooding is prioritized in the criteria, Queens could receive more state funding to address the problem.Thecriteria for the program is being finalized by the Climate Justice Working Group, an advisory panel charged with working on the issue under New York’s Climate Act which recognizes that climate change does not affect all communities equally.“Last year, the remnants of Hurricane Ida struck New York City and left a trail of disaster,” the elected officials wrote. “Our borough of Queens tragically lost eleven members of our community in the storm, leaving countless others without their home, car, and possessions. Many of the victims were from lower income and immi grant backgrounds and struggled to recover from the storm’s devasting effects. Ida also cost the city millions of dollars in property damage.”“Nearly a year after the hurricane, Queens remains highly susceptible to flood damage,” the lawmakers continued. “Ac cording to the New York City Flood Haz ard Mapper provided by the New York City Department of City Planning, thousands of Queens residents live in low lying flood prone areas, including parts of Flushing, Rego Park, Elmhurst, Forest Hills, and more. To reduce the damage caused by fu ture floods, our borough requires urgent infrastructure upgrades. Increasing storm water management capacity will depend on how much Queens is able to benefit from the Disadvantaged Communities program, in addition to federal programs from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and JobsFurthermore,Act.” many of our low-income constituents live next to or near what can be considered environmental burdens. We have constituents that live near power gen eration facilities, freight rail lines, landfills, airports, and they endure toxic fumes, par ticulate matter, and loud noises. These are not only a major inconvenience, but they also pose serious health risks. Constant exposure to the noxious fumes and noises have been known to induce diminished cognitive performance, high blood pres sure, hearing loss, heart and lung disease, and premature death,” the pols added. “The disadvantaged communities program is of paramount importance. As you finalize the criteria, please continue to take into ac count the devastating impacts of flooding.”
A year after Hurricane Ida tore through Queens, killing 11 residents and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the borough, Gov. Kathy Hochul an nounced the release of the proposed Ac tion Plan by the Governor's Office of Storm Recovery to recover from Hurricane Ida and to strengthen the resiliency of commu nities in future storm events.

The agency used the Social Vulnerabil ity Index to measure vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and natural di sasters. This research showed that the com munities that sustained the most damage were those that could least afford to recover and had historically been underprioritized during disaster recovery in the past, such as individuals with limited English proficien cy and low-to moderate-income residents. As a result, GOSR will make grant funding available to a variety of long-term recovery and resiliency programs target ing renters, homeowners, and owners and operators of affordable housing with a fo cus on low- to moderate-income residents. Programs will be open to counties outside New York City with a presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance, in cluding Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Rock land, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties. New York City received its own allocation of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funding from HUD. Proposed grant programs include: Renters Resilient Housing, Housing Re covery and Reimbursement, Affordable Housing Resiliency, Resilient Investments. “Our Action Plan will prioritize funding for housing, businesses, and other key pro grams in the most impacted and distressed areas—helping ensure all New Yorkers are lifted up as we recover,” Hochul said. pols who signed the letter noted that nearly a year after Hurricane Ida, Queens remains highly susceptible to flood damage.
The proposed Action Plan reflects months of outreach to local officials, com munity leaders, non-profits, public housing authorities, and other government agen cies. GOSR determined that housing re covery represented the largest unmet need in the communities impacted by Ida. The agency then prepared a risk assessment to identify the greatest mitigation needs in the disaster area. Water and flooding were found to pose the most significant risk and therefore reducing flood impacts would have the greatest impact to security and re siliency.

The proposed plan includes $41.2 mil lion in federal funding to support initiatives that will help residents adapt to the effects of climate change while prioritizing histori cally underserved communities, Hochul said on Monday.
Addabbo added that he was pleased that since his bill became law last year his of fice has received no calls or emails from constituents about empty N2O cartridges in District 15 streets.
Amid confusion over his bill that be came law in November 2021, State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) this week clarified exactly what the law means and what products it affects.

According to the senator, it was his opinion that individuals and store own ers being unaware that the N2O cartridges could be bought separately at some local convenience stores by minors to be used improperly is what led to the confusion and misinterpretation of the law. “The sale of whipped cream is not banned to a minor because of this law,” Addabbo explained. “The target of the law was never intended to be whipped cream you can purchase at your local market. The language of the bill specifically mentions the sale of the chargers or cartridges that contain the nitrous oxide which are solely affected by this law. These cartridges can not be extracted from a traditional canis ter of whipped cream with the full amount of nitrous oxide. After speaking with the Attorney General’s office I was able to ensure that fines wouldn’t be doled out to any store owners for selling whipped cream to anyone.”

Addabbo was in touch with the Attor ney General’s office, who confirmed that the language of the bill indicates that it is the N2O chargers that are subject to proof of ID, and that residents under the age of 21 will still be able to purchase cans of whipped cream at local stores and business owners will not be subject to any fines for selling whipped cream.

The two-inch steel chargers, some times in a neon green or pink color car tridge as they are marketed to a younger population, are often called “whippits” and when the N2O inside is inhaled it can cause a euphoric effect that people use to get high. N2O is commonly known as “laughing gas” and dental professionals use the chemical during oral procedures to relieve pain, but it is highly addictive and has detrimental effects if used im properly.Inhaling whippits can lead to seizures, comas, severe frostbite, and sudden sniff ing death syndrome. N2O abuse is also as sociated with brain damage, nervous sys tem disorders, and damage to the lungs, heart, kidney and liver. The 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that an estimated 9.1 percent of Americans have tried inhalants, and that about 11.8 million of the survey participants reported past misuse of nitrous oxide or whippits.
Addabbo Clarifies New Nitrous Oxide Law
“The origin of the bill started with a complaint from a constituent about the cartridges littering her corner and the group of younger residents getting the dangerous quick high from the nitrous ox ide,” the senator said. “That is how good government should work: A resident com plains to their elected official and action is taken.”
According to the Attorney General of New York’s office, despite recent news re ports to the contrary, any person can pur chase canisters of whipped cream, even if they are under the age of 21. The law states that it is the nitrous oxide (N2O) chargers or small cartridges sold sepa rately, used more with industrial whipped cream dispensers that are prohibited from being sold to minors.

Our love of food and drink and our indulgences centering around them pres ents challenges we all face. The most com mon source of problems we encounter after overeating is dealing with the culprit we know as acid indigestion/aka heart burn.Heartburn is the result of stomach acid splashing back into the esophagus, which creates that burning feeling we'd be bet ter off without. Thankfully there are many products available both as prescriptions and OTC remedies that effectively neu tralize the effects of gorging ourselves. Reducing the production of acid in the stomach can be tackled through the use of preparations such as Priolosec OTC, Nex ium 24 Hour, Pepcid, Zantac and Prevacid 24 Hour. These are all available in pill or capsule form as well as a variety of liquids and chewable tablets. When you know that your stomach is prone to producing excess acids, and all of us who suffer from the condition definitely know we do, and know it is wise to take whatever remedy you prefer in advance of the meal that you know is going to set your stomach aflame, but that you just can't miss. Now if by some unfortunate chance you don't catch the fire before it starts to burn, there is another class of fast act ing preparations known as antacids. Like their name suggests, they work to neutral ize the stomach acid that splashes back into your esophagus and creates a burn ing feeling. Remember it is not only food that causes a trigger for heartburn, which can also be brought on by chocolate, cof fee, alcohol and cigarettes. . Some of the more common products readily available at your local pharmacy include, Tums, Mylanta, Gaviscon, Alka-Seltzer, Rolaids andWhileMaalox.these products can offer you the almost instant relief you crave, remember that persistent symptoms may well be the sign of a much more serious problem than just over eating or eating the wrong foods. Ulcers, gastritis and other serious con ditions often send warning signs disguised as heartburn.Ifyouare experiencing symptoms with the feelings we have described, like burning, gas and bloating, on a frequent and regular basis, or if you experience the burning without having consumed any thing you know to be bothersome you should speak to your local pharmacist and consult your doctor immediately. These symptoms are not to be avoided. Until next week… by Frank Pantina, DRINK and PREPARE TO PUT OUT A FIRE
Hochul Lauds Gun Task Force Results
Hochul also announced that New York State Police seized 1,468 guns from August 2021 to July 2022: the highest number in the history of the agency. This represents a 140 percent increase when compared to August 2020 to July 2021, when the State Police seized 612 guns.

City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (ROzone Park) this week urged the public to help police nab the thieves who recent ly swiped the “Little Guyana” sign from the Lefferts Boulevard—Liberty Avenue intersection in South Richmond Hill. “The brazen, broad daylight theft of the Little Guyana sign from the corner of Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard is another example of the kind of vandalism and crime that we are experiencing as a city,” she said. “Fortunately, the perpe trators were recorded in the act, and the 106th Precinct is working to bring them to justice. If you have any information about the individuals who stole this sign, please reach out to the precinct at (718) 845-2211 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-8477.”
The Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns has fostered significant coopera tion and collaboration among local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylva nia, Rhode Island and Vermont since its creation earlier this year, Hochul noted. Task force members convened for the fourth time this morning to discuss data, intelligence, strategies and other tactics critical to their ongoing efforts to address the increase in gun violence that has oc curred in New York and the nation since earlyThe2020.next task force meeting will occur next month in New Jersey.

Help Bring Sign Stealers to Justice: Ariola
Governor Kathy Hochul recently an nounced that police agencies have re moved 6,007 illegal guns from commu nities across New York State during the first seven months of the year, a 20-per cent increase when compared to the same timeframe in 2021. Joined by Mayor Eric Adams and Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo sives (ATF) Steven Dettelbach prior to a meeting of the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns, Hochul updated New Yorkers about her administration’s com prehensive efforts to stem the flow of il legal guns, reduce gun violence and save lives. Dettelbach touted the task force as a national model for other regions in the country to follow.
“This Task Force has what is needed to make a difference—and ATF, through our Crime Gun Intelligence Centers, our eTrace crime gun tracing system, and NIBIN—is committed to providing our law enforcement partners the actionable intelligence and leads needed to identify the trigger-pullers who terrorize our com munities and the firearm trafficking net works that illegally supply them with guns,” Dettelbach said. This work, coupled with record-level state investments in communities expe riencing high rates of gun violence and improved information sharing among local law enforcement agencies and the State Police, has produced results. The 20 police departments participating in the New York State's Gun Involved Vio lence Elimination (GIVE) initiative also reported a 12 percent decrease in shoot ing victims for the first seven months of 2022 compared to 2021. The number of murders reported by those police departments has decreased for three consecutive months. In New York City through mid-August, there was an 11.8 percent decrease in shooting victims while reported murders decreased by 11 percent.TheState Police have seized 813 guns from January through July 2022, double the number seized during that time pe riod last year (406). That total includes 30 illegal assault rifles and ghost guns seized after a months-long investigation by the State Police Gun Trafficking In terdiction Unit into a multi-county gun trafficking ring. The unit also conducted 482 gun-tracing investigations from Janu ary through June 2022, providing 91 leads that helped authorities in 25 states remove 149 illegal guns from their streets and communities.

By Forum Staff Mayor Eric Adams, City Comptroller Brad Lander, trustees of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, Teachers’ Retirement System and Board of Education Retirement System, and elected leaders on Tuesday called on American Express, MasterCard and Visa, three of the world’s largest credit card companies, to support a proposal to establish a merchant category code (MCC) for gun and ammunition stores. The creation of a new code would help financial institutions detect and report suspicious activity, such as unusually large purchases of firearms or ammunition, or purchases from multiple stores that may be used for criminal purposes. Credit card companies use a four-digit merchant category code to classify busi nesses by the types of goods and services sold. Merchant category codes are set by the International Organization on Stan dardization (ISO). Unique merchant cat egory codes exist for grocery stores, sport ing goods stores, bicycle shops, and many other retailers — but not for gun and ammunition stores. Proposals have been brought before the ISO to create a mer chant category code for gun retailers, but American Express, MasterCard, and Visa have not supported the proposal.
The press conference, which comes ahead of a fall meeting of the ISO, high lighted the introduction of shareholder proposals by the three pension funds at American Express and Mastercard and requested transparency on the decisions made regarding merchant category codes for gun and ammunition stores. The three pension funds also sent a letter with the California State Teachers' Retirement Sys tem (CalSTRS) to American Express, Mas tercard and Visa. The three pension funds own 667,200 thousand shares in American Express valued at approximately $92.49 million; 1.1 million shares in MasterCard valued at approximately $347.59 million; and 1.85 million shares in Visa valued at approximately $363.86 million. This announcement also follows a letter to MasterCard and American Express from 50 New York state legislators, spearheaded by New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie and New York State Assemblymember Chantel Jackson, calling for the creation of this code. “When it comes to guns falling into the wrong hands, we must find upstream solu tions before we’re faced with downstream consequences — because downstream consequences are lost lives,” said Adams. “When you buy an airline ticket or pay for your groceries, your credit card company has a special code for those retailers. It’s just commonsense that we have the same policies in place for gun and ammuni tion stores. I’m proud to join Comptroller Lander and our partners at the state level to call for this important policy change.” Public Advocate Jumaane Williams added, “Credit card companies already use merchant category codes for retailers from utilities to transportation to clothing — it’s past time they also used them to specifi cally mark gun stores as well. As trustees of the New York City Employees’ Retire ment System, we have invested in the big three credit card companies. We have a fis cal and moral responsibility to protect New Yorkers’ safety and finances by urging these companies to exercise that same respon sibility and implement category codes to help detect suspicious purchases at gun and ammunition stores. Every illegal gun was legal at some point, and the usage of these codes would be instrumental in monitoring and tracking those legal gun sales as well as future gun trafficking.”
On July 1, 2022, New York State en acted Chapter 371 of the Laws of 2022 in response to the limitations set forth under the Bruen decision. The state law revises specific eligibility requirements to the concealed carry licensing process and re stricts the carrying of concealed weapons in a specified list of “sensitive locations.” It also enhances safe storage requirements and background check coordination, as well as amends the State’s existing body armor purchase ban to include hard body armor.“The

“When you buy an airline ticket or pay for your groceries, your credit card company has a special code for those retailers. It’s just commonsense that we have the same policies in place for gun and ammunition stores,” Mayor Adams said.
U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen deci sion was the shot heard round the world that took dead aim at the safety of all New Yorkers. New York City will defend itself against this decision, and, beginning to morrow, new eligibility requirements for concealed carry permit applicants and restrictions on the carrying of concealed weapons in ‘sensitive locations,’ like Times Square, take effect,” Adams said. “We will be posting signage at every entrance into Times Square informing those traveling through that the area is a gun-free zone and that licensed gun carriers and others may not enter with a gun unless otherwise spe cially authorized by law. As mayor of New York City and a former police officer, my top priority will always be the safety of all 8.8 million people who call this city home, so while the Supreme Court decision may have opened an additional river feeding the sea of gun violence, we are doing every thing we can to dam it and keep New York the safest big city in AssemblywomanAmerica.”JeniferRajkumar (DWoodhaven) added, “After we passed our gun safety bill in the extraordinary session in Albany, Mayor Adams is implementing and educating New Yorkers on this life-sav ing legislation. The mayor will ensure that everyone knows where our gun-free zones are, from schools to subways to Times Square. In a year where there have already been 1,000 shootings, including one last week in my district that left a man in critical condition, this preemptive action will keep firearms out of sensitive areas and stop gun violence before it starts.”
The city will also launch a website to morrow with Frequently Asked Questions to educate New Yorkers about the law. The FAQs will provide an overview of the legis lation and what changes New Yorkers can expect. The page will be updated periodi cally to respond to New Yorkers’ concerns and provide helpful information.
On June 23, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down New York’s handgunlicensing law in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. Before the Supreme Court’s decision, the law required applicants for conceal carry gun licenses to show “proper cause,” but the court ruled that New York state’s “proper cause” re quirement violated the Second Amend ment of the U.S. Constitution.
By Forum Staff Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday an nounced that the City is launching a com prehensive outreach plan to educate and inform New Yorkers about new State leg islation, going into effect Thursday, Sept. 1, governing concealed carry regulations across the state.
The provisions of the legislation will re quire concealed carry license applicants to meet revised eligibility requirements and complete a state-regulated firearms training course, as well as defines certain “sensitive locations” where guns are not permitted.

Rapidly changing economic condi tions—including inflation and rising in terest rates—required adjustments to the original proposed deal. Under Tuesday’s finalized agreement, Marblegate will re structure outstanding loans of eligible taxi medallion owners to a maximum principal balance of $170,000, after the application of a $30,000 grant that will be used as a down payment on the restructured loans. The restructured loans will also be guaran teed by a loan loss reserve fund. Borrowers with lower loan balances are also eligible to participate in the program. The final terms for the restructured Marblegate loans will include an interest rate of 7.3 percent or less, fully amortized over no more than 25 years—capping monthly payments at $1,234. The TLC published rules that will codify these terms. “We are finally at the starting line of a new life for thousands of drivers and our families,” said Bhairavi Desai, execu tive director, NYTWA. “The City-backed guarantee is a groundbreaking program that will save and change lives. We are thankful to City Hall, the TLC, the May or’s Office of Management and Budget, the Law Department, and Marblegate for burning the midnight oil to set up this his toric program to address the crisis of debt across the industry. As we collectively work to end this crisis and hit restart, we look forward to working with all lenders. I congratulate all our union members who chose to organize, and not despair, and won back their lives. Against the darkness of a crushing debt, their courage remained the light, and today, the triumph is fully theirs.”Medallion owners are encouraged to sign up for free legal representation and fi nancial counseling through TLC’s Owner/ Driver Resource Center
By Forum Staff Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schum er on Sunday revealed full New York num bers on who will benefit from the historic student loan debt reform announced last week, and publicly called on student loan service providers who are already paid by the federal Department of Education to staff up, and be at-the-ready ahead of the fall, when calls and questions on this re form will hit their peak.

for Child Care Providers and Families
“There’s no place for unlawful discrimi nation or harassment of any form—in the workplace or anywhere else,” Hochul said. “We’ve come a long way in changing workplace culture in government, and as we celebrate Women’s Equality Day across the state, we are sending a message that whether in a private setting or in a public sector office, sexual harassment is not okay. In New York State, we are committed to promoting safety, dignity, and respect for everyone.”

On Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) launched a statewide multi-media cam paign to help ensure eligible families ac cess child care assistance. Administered by the State Office of Children and Fam ily Services, eligibility for child care assis tance was expanded this month to include families earning up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, which is up from 200 percent, extending eligibility to an es timated 394,000 young children through out New York. As of this month, a family of four earning up to $83,250 is now eligible for child care assistance when previously the threshold was $55,500 or less. Hochul also announced this week ex panded eligibility for a second round of federally funded Child Care Provider Stabilization grants. As of Tuesday, all school-age child care programs and more than 900 providers that were licensed by Jan. 1, 2022 can apply for these grants. As part of the Fiscal Year 2023 budget, $343 million was allocated for the stabilization grants, with 75 percent of the funding dedicated to workforce supports. These grants can be used to provide wage in creases, bonuses, tuition reimbursement and contributions to staff retirement plans and health insurance costs. According to Hochul and Gillibrand, the child care assistance campaign is fo cused on urging New Yorkers to access this benefit so they can receive help paying for high-quality child care, which is one of the largest expenses for families after the cost of housing. Starting today, OCFS will be gin a billboard, radio and social media cam paign to let families know they can receive help paying for child care. The campaign will feature content on digital screens in re tail locations, highway billboards, bus side posters, laundromats, salons and barber shops in English and Spanish. "As New York's first Governor who is a mom, I know firsthand how important affordable child care can be for your fu ture and your family," Governor Hochul said. "By increasing the income threshold for child care assistance, we can relieve a crushing burden for hundreds of thou sands of New Yorkers and, especially, working mothers. My administration has made historic investments in child care, and this statewide multi-media campaign is the latest crucial step we are taking to help ensure families receive the assistance they need and deserve." Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, the campaign began on Tues day in areas outside of New York City and then in October in areas within the fiveborough region.

Pols Launch Statewide Campaign to Highlight Funding
Hochul Announces State Actions to Combat Sex Discrimination
By Forum Staff Governor Kathy Hochul on Friday an nounced that the State Division of Human Rights has awarded more than $2.3 million in the past year to 126 women who filed sex discrimination claims against employers, landlords, and businesses across the state. In addition, the division has published new guidance on workplace protections against pregnancy discrimination. Hochul an nounced these actions on Women's Equal ity Day.Sex discrimination has been unlawful in New York State since 1964, and every year since, the division has worked to pro tect the rights of women to participate fully in the life of the State, Hochul said. In addition to obtaining those settlements since Hochul took office in August 2021, the division has published new guidance on pregnancy protections, as well as a factsheet that will alert employees of their rights and employers of their responsibili ties around reasonable accommodation of pregnant workers. Some notable resolutions include: Two female security officers received settlements of $50,000 and $30,000 each after filing DHR complaints against their employers, alleging that they faced sex dis crimination while working at a New York City hospital. The security officers alleged that they were assigned to less-desirable postings, denied equal opportunity for overtime, and denied breaks because their supervisors said female officers were “not equal to men.” The officers also alleged that they experienced retaliation after filing in ternal complaints.
A woman who worked at a dental office in Lockport received a settlement of over $70,000 plus $17,000 in legal fees after fil ing a sexual harassment and disability dis crimination complaint against her employ er through DHR. The woman, who worked as a hygiene coordinator, alleged that she experienced continual sexual harassment from the dentist who co-owned the prac tice she worked at. The woman alleged she was terminated after going out on sick leave for three weeks due to what was later found to be a brain tumor.
“The shortage of affordable child care in our state is nothing short of a crisis,” Gillibrand said. “We have to do more to support our families and our child care workers. That's why I'm proud to have fought to pass the American Rescue Plan and the CARES Act, legislation that is now delivering millions in federal fund ing to New York's child care providers and making care more accessible and afford able for those who need it. This expanded funding will help parents across our state return to work with the knowledge that their children are in good hands while giv ing child care workers the resources they need to be successful.”
