Mr. Mayor,
I hope you are having fun so far. You will be happy to hear that in my 20 years living in NYC, I have
never had a Democratic Mayor, OR seen a mayor shovel his own sidewalk. ;)
The email below is an invitation from the Ohio Democratic Party for you to speak at their annual
dinner. My friend is the ED there and wanted me to forward this to you. His name is Bill Demora
and you can have your scheduler reach out to him directly if you are interested.

Hey Monica,
The photographers names are: Buck Ennis and Duncan Hall from Crain’s. I don’t think
anyone on the City Hall side is handling it. They just wanted to be able to get past the
guards so they can take a pic on the city hall grounds. Don’t think they’re going to be
covering BDB or anything related to the admin aside from the biographical relation he
has to JDC.

Hey Rob it’s Monica. Looping Angela.

RM – can you give us the names from the photog? Also who is handling this photo
shoot on the City Hall side?
If you give names to Angela she can add to guard’s list

Angela Banks told me to e-mail this address, so hopefully this gets through:
Crain's wants to do an article on AKPD Message and Media and John Del Cecato, but
they want to take the pictures in front of city hall(as a backdrop). The photographer
said he and his crew need to get on the list the guards have, so they can bring their
equipment. Is there any way this can be done for nMonday at 1PM?
The names of the photographers are: Buck Ennis and Duncan Ball. Thanks for the help!

Hi Rob,
It is my understanding that all you need is permission to shoot in the Plaza of City Hall at 1pm - 2pm.
The photographers are Buck Ennis and Duncan Hall from Crain’s.
It is all that you need?

Hey John,
Just wanted to let you know the Mayor is running behind schedule and may start to eat into the
allotted speech prep time.
You should be on standby to come in and we should have a better sense in the hour.
But Lindsay suggests you should still meet with Peter, regardless if the Mayor can attend or not.

But I’m also happy to just complete a draft as a working document & then the Mayor & Peter & the team

Rough sketch to get ideas going.
Thoughts welcome

Previous Daily Show Interviews
Successful Interviews:
Condoleeza Rice: Rice told funny, anecdotal stories in a light tone without attempting to make
jokes of her own. When Stewart was critical of her, she calmly and humbly responded with her
talking points.
Austan Goolsbee: Goolsbee maintained a lively and light demeanor. He didn’t take himself too
seriously and made self-deprecating jokes about the government while acknowledging it was
tough. He smiled throughout, sat up straight, and didn’t get defensive when Stewart was critical.
Elizabeth Warren: Warren didn’t attempt to lighten what’s at stake for comedic purposes or riff
off of Stewart’s jokes and consistently went straight back to her message with every response.
Chuck Schumer: Schumer laughed heartily at Jon Stewart’s jokes and avoided his own
additional wisecracks. He kept pivoting back to his message.
Flat Interviews:
Mike Huckabee: Huckabee attempted to make jokes both on his own and in response to
Stewart, and they generally fell flat and Stewart and the audience both did not respond
positively.
President Obama: Stewart was tough on Obama. Obama stuck to his message, but almost
robotically and without the emotion/humility of what’s at stake, which made him come off
arrogantly. He was also slouching and looking down a lot throughout the interview. He didn’t
smile enough.
Chris Matthews: Matthews was too aggressive and defensive and almost hyper in an attempt to
try to be funny when Stewart was critical of him.

Jon Stewart’s previous statements on New York City/Policy Areas
Jon Stewart on ForkGate:
Aside from the piece on Stewart getting angry at the idea of NYC Mayor eating pizza with a
fork, Stewart has a history of being a “pizza purist,” attacking Trump for eating Pizza with a fork
and mocking Chicago deep-dish pizzas, calling them casseroles, since they are eaten with a fork
and knife.
Jon Stewart after BdB Primary Win:
Stewart asked to be adopted by the de Blasio family and did a Dante riff where he wore an afro
wig. He also gushed over the smackdown.
Jon Stewart on Pre-K:
After last year’s State of the Union, Stewart mocked Republicans for not supporting UPK and
wanting to spend money on the military over the obvious choice of education.
Stewart on Bloomberg:
x Stewart has mocked Bloomberg for the Soda Ban on multiple episodes.
x Stewart commended Bloomberg and Cuomo’s leadership during Sandy.
Stewart on Stop and Frisk:
Stewart didn’t challenge Ray Kelly on merits of Stop and Frisk and noted that it’s tough to tread
boundaries on policing with respect to public safety. He also noted that NYC currently feels safer
than it used to.

Q&A
Q: Why do you hate rich people?
A: I have so much faith in New York City’s wealthy residents that I’m trusting them with our
city’s future – they’re about to make sure every New York City four-year-olds gets access to pre-
k!
Q: Do you hate the Upper East Side?
A: I’m about to move up there, so I hope I can fit in.
Q: What is the secret behind Dante’s afro?
A:
Q: Who came up with the smackdown? Will you perform it right now?
A: My Cousin Vinnie came up with it and he and Chiara taught it to me at the West Indian Day
Parade. Do you want me to teach you how to do it?
Q: Can you please defend eating pizza with a fork and knife?
A: [Take out pizza + fork and knife?] In fact, I can demonstrate it for you right now.
Q: Sandinistas
A:
Q: What’s up with your bromance with the Governor? Do you secretly really hate him?
You can tell me.
A:
Q: Are you and Gov. Christie secretly besties?

Do’s and Don’ts
Do:
- Make self-deprecating jokes

- Smile throughout the interview
- Laugh at Jon Stewart’s jokes
- Make eye contact with both Jon Stewart and audience
- Pivot to your message with a smile when Jon Stewart is critical of you
Don’t:
- Wisecrack off of Jon Stewart’s jokes

- Lean into the table between you and Jon Stewart
- Take yourself too seriously
Brainstorming Ideas:
- Bring pizza
- Bring fork and knife in pocket to eat a pizza in case Jon Stewart provides one
- Demonstrate shoveling technique
- Make Jon Stewart learn/perform smackdown with you if he asks you to perform
- Self deprecating jokes –
o “All the people on my payroll think I’m hilarious”
o “I’m the funniest person in my household, my wife tells me that everyday”
o “Dante doesn’t get up before 10, I guess he learned that from me”
o Joke about being late –
Announce the Mayor and he doesn’t come out?
Or note that he’s actually on time when he gets on stage
o Only walk out to Royals?

Hi all—For speech prep tonight at night at 6:45, I wanted to offer to coordinate dinner for all of you.
Each member of the meeting will need to pay for their own meal, but I will take care of placing the
order and making sure it gets here on time.
Last night for the budget meeting, we brought in Dig Inn, attached here, enough options to
accommodate most—but if you have a strong preference for something else let me know.
If you would like me to order something for you tonight, please let me know by 4pm.
Thanks so much,

State of the City – DRAFT 7
DRAFT AS OF: 2/4/14
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you Members of the City Council.
And thank you to everyday New Yorkers watching from their living
rooms or laptops.
We are here to discuss the New York City that we live in today, and lay
out our vision for where we will take it in the weeks and months to
come.
For some, the state of our City couldn’t be stronger.
On Wall Street, the stock market continues to hover near record highs.
In a handful of our wealthiest zip codes, residents are blessed with high-
paying jobs, excellent schools, well-appointed homes, quality medical
care, safe streets, and cultural offerings unrivaled anywhere on the
planet.
And that is a GOOD thing. We celebrate that success, and we commit

ourselves to creating the conditions to keep it going.
But for too many – millions and millions of New Yorkers in
neighborhoods spanning all five boroughs – the good life isn’t just out of
reach; it’s out of sight. Good jobs that pay decent wages are
shamefully scarce. Access to the best health care seems to many a
privilege that cannot be earned. Affordable housing is an oxymoron.
Police-community relations are stained by a history of discrimination.
And a quality education – the most powerful tool we know for lifting
one’s life chances – is a promise broken too many times to count.
For THOSE New Yorkers – the OTHER New York -- the state of our
City…is discouraging.
And today, they look to US – their duly elected representatives in city

government – to lift the floor on New York’s standard of living…to level
the field that is weighted so powerfully against them.
And that is what we resolve to do.

repair the broken bond of trust between law enforcement and the
communities they are sworn to serve…to ensure that ALL New Yorkers
see their safety AND their rights protected.
We will level the field…
Just over a week ago, we announced a settlement in the case of Floyd

versus the City of New York – an acknowledgement of the wrongs
spurred by a broken policing policy…and a message to New Yorkers of
every background that we will respect equal protection under the law.
For those who count on our community hospitals – so that developers

understand the central role these centers of health play in the security
and wellbeing of our neighborhoods. We will fight with everything
we’ve got to reverse the tide of closures, and put the health of our
people ahead of profits.
For our undocumented immigrants -- issuing municipal ID cards this

year -- so that no daughter or son of our city goes without the health
care or housing support they desperately need simply because they are
without a state driver’s license. New York City is your home too, and we
will not force ANY of our residents to live their lives in the shadows.
(REPEAT IN SPANISH)
For the workforce of tomorrow…changing a mindset that has showered

tax breaks on big corporations while the soaring cost of CUNY makes
higher education harder and harder for everyday New Yorkers to afford.
(INSERT LINE ON CUNY BUDGET FUNDING PROPOSAL HERE)
We will forgo big giveaways to a few select companies – like the

reckless $130 million giveaway to FreshDirect enacted last year – and
will instead pursue a city economic strategy that grows whole sectors of

small businesses in emerging industries – from green jobs, to food
exports, to advanced manufacturing – companies that can generate good
jobs at decent wages in all five boroughs. We will propose an expanded
revolving loan fund for start-ups of $100 million from incentive subsidy
reform, and a new NYC Innovation Equity Fund for entrepreneurs. We’ll
put boots on the ground to work with local businesses and immigrant
entrepreneurs to coordinate local job creation efforts, and help small
business flourish.
We’ll create jobs for young people who are growing up in this city… who
have always called this home. And here’s how.
First, will advance a dedicated Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Math – or STEM program -- at CUNY – to start preparing more graduates
of our public high schools for jobs in the city’s tech industry. To that
end, our aim is that within eight years, the majority of skilled
technology-related jobs in New York City are being filled by those
educated in New York City schools.
Second, as our health sector continues to rapidly grow, we will prepare

more of our unemployed, and our young people, for middle-skill,
middle-class jobs…by scaling-up innovative programs like the Bronx’s
Health Education and Research Occupations High School that connects
New Yorkers to CUNY and to relevant work experience at Montefiore
hospital. And we will train New Yorkers to fill the thousands of
registered nurse jobs that are currently held by temporary foreign guest
workers.
Third, for people without a college degree, we will reinvent our maze of
overlapping and ineffective job training programs --- and invest in
industry-linked apprenticeship programs that directly connect New
Yorkers to jobs in emerging industries such as green building
technology, information technology, and telecommunications.
Fourth, we will connect every city high school to a college,

apprenticeship program, or industry that corresponds to the skills our
students learn. We will reverse the trend of importing engineers,
nurses, and other skilled workers to fill New York City jobs -- and start

in-sourcing good jobs for those who live here now, and are desperate
for work.
We will increase the number of contracts going to Minority and Women

Owned Businesses -- which are far more likely to be located in our
lowest income communities – to create jobs for those who desperately
need them. $ QG Z H Z LOO offer low-income New Yorkers new
pathways to jobs in the building trades -- requiring public construction
projects funded by the City to train and hire residents of public housing
and hard-pressed neighborhoods.
And most of all, we WILL level the field for those who deserve it
most – our children – ALL of them.
We will offer every child from every borough of this city truly universal
Pre-K. We will provide quality after-school programs for every middle
schooler. And we will do this by asking those who make more than a
half-million dollars a year to pay a little more in taxes.
For those making between $500,000 and a million dollars a year, that
will mean an average of about 900 bucks a year. But to the young minds
that we help shape…the pre-teen lives that we keep safe…the generation
of working New Yorkers that we put on a path to success…it will be an
investment too valuable to put into numbers.
Now, I know that last part has been the subject of some debate in recent
weeks. And I know that people of good conscience can have different
plans for how to achieve better outcomes for our kids. So let me take
just a moment to make MY case for why our plan is the way to make that
promise to our young people a reality.
Let’s start by debunking some of the myths surrounding our proposal.
First, there are some who say that Albany shouldn't approve our plan
because the STATE GOVERNMENT simply cannot raise ANY taxes right
now. But that is NOT the debate. We’re not asking Albany to raise the
state income tax by a penny to pay for universal Pre-K and after-school
programs here in New York City. We’re simply asking Albany to allow

New York City to tax itself – its wealthiest residents…those making a
half-million or more a year.
And if you think about it, Albany should really be rushing to

accommodate us on this count. If New York City gets the state’s blessing
to raise our OWN income tax on the wealthy, it frees up more money for
Albany to fund education in other parts of the state – or give property
tax relief to New Yorkers in all 62 counties.
Second, there are some who suggest that we can fund universal Pre-K
and after-school programs with existing state dollars. But remember
this: there is no secret pot of money. If the state spends tax dollars,
those tax dollars have to come from somewhere. And while educating
our kids is our top priority, we must not rob Peter to pay Paul.
Raising taxes on the rich makes our commitment to our kids more than
just words. It makes that commitment REAL. It makes that
commitment FAIR. And it offers a promise to our kids that they can
COUNT ON.
Now, if there ARE extra resources in the state budget…IF there are
hundreds of millions of dollars that are being considered for the
purpose of funding Pre-K and after-school in New York City…don’t get
me wrong. New York City could USE that money! In fact, the courts
have ruled that we are currently being short-changed on our OVERALL
state education budget…to the tune of several BILLION dollars.
So let’s not let this critically important debate become mired in the
classic Albany shell game. Let’s dedicated the funding we need to do
what New York City must do – and let’s tap the wealthiest New Yorkers
to do so.
Third, it’s been said that our plan is somehow a vehicle for transferring
tax dollars to labor unions. So to the conspiracy theorists, let me say
this as plainly as I can. The money we raise by taxing our wealthiest
residents will go in a LOCK BOX – with EVERY dollar going to Pre-K and
after-school programs…programs set up right here in New York
City. That’s it.
Finally, there are some who whisper that our drive to tax the rich to
fund Pre-K and after-school is just political posturing – an effort to heap

scorn on the wealthy to win an election. But the election in New York
City is OVER – and the time for politics is over, too. This isn’t about
different philosophies or ideologies. This is about THE CHILDREN OF
NEW YORK, and just how strong of a commitment we are willing to
make to THEIR futures…and OUR OWN.
And that is a commitment I hear every day -- not just from middle class,
working class, and low-income New Yorkers – but from good people
from EVERY income bracket – people who know that for New York to
move forward, we must ask those who have achieved great success to
give a little back…to ensure that stories like theirs are possible for the
next generation.
We don’t make call for this plan out of anger or envy. And, as I said in
my inaugural address, we do not do it to punish success. We do it to
create more success stories.
And offering universal Pre-K isn’t an untested theory. The science backs
our proposal up. Studies have consistently shown that putting our kids
on the right path BEFORE their first day of Kindergarten significantly
raise their prospects of succeeding in school; of living healthier lives;
and of landing a good job once their schooling is complete.
The data shows that after-school programs ease the daily anxiety of
working parents who worry about their youngsters’ whereabouts in the
early evening, and give those parents the capacity to be more
productive at work.
And let us never forget the public safety good in each of these measures.
Children who access Pre-K programs are more likely to stay out of jail
and on the path to a productive life. Middle-schoolers who access after-
school programs are less likely to fall victim to gangs and street
violence…to graduate and go on to college or the world of work…to have
hope for lifting themselves out of a cycle of poverty and into a world of
possibility.
(INSERT STORY ABOUT A NEW YORKER WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM

PRE-K, AND ANOTHER ONE OF A NEW YORKER WHO’D BENEFIT FROM
AFTER-SCHOOL. NAME THEM!)

These are the things we wish for New York City…our guiding light for
City government in 2014.
Lifting the floor.
Leveling the field.
Fighting to END the Tale of Two Cities.
In his first radio address as Mayor, Fiorella LaGuardia, for whom the
college we gather in today was proudly named, said this:
“Our city does not belong to any individual or set of individuals. It

belongs to all the people.”
ALL the people.
From the South Bronx to the North Shore…from the Upper West Side to
the Lower East Side…from Bayside to Brighton Beach.
We are ALL New Yorkers…united in purpose…joined by our faith in our

future.
That is the City we set out to lead.
And together, we will rise as ONE CITY, and make it stronger and fairer
and more filled with hope that it has ever been before.
Thank you, and God bless New York!

Hey just got an email from John, he isn't feeling well today (has a fever) so
he won't be able to make speech prep. He said he'll try to make the

Emma, knowing Bill's extraordinary support for CUNY, is it possible for press announcements that
describe CUNY colleges to include such mention? In the below announcement, the fact that La
Guardia Community College is of The City University of New York is not indicated, although the
description is very positive and worthy of a great community college we are deeply proud of. Could
you please share this email with the Mayor's Press Secretary along with my request. We are all
extremely proud that Bill has chosen to deliver his State of the City at a CUNY college, and, in
particular, at the one named after the Little Flower-- the home of the La Guardia and Wagner
Archives and a truly international student body that is very much the story of our City and the ladder
of opportunity it represents. Thank you. Jay.

Oh - if it’s just for the room, then I would go with GOTV for BDB - The Remix (that was a little more tailored
to a general election audience - i.e., includes Royals & doesn’t have No Sleep til Brooklyn)..
I was thinking specifically for intro/outro music for the mayor’s remarks

State of the City – DRAFT 17
DRAFT AS OF: 2/9/14 10:45 PM
Thank you, Katherine LaGuardia for your kind words.
Your decades of service to improving public health – particularly in the

realm of women’s reproductive health and combatting the spread of
HIV-AIDS – has been instrumental in lifting the life chances of those in
need – both here in New York and around the world.
That advocacy on behalf everyday people was a hallmark of your

grandfather’s tenure as mayor. He understood a bedrock principle of
New York greatness, when he said, quote: “Our city does not belong to
any individual or set of individuals. It belongs to all the people.”
LaGuardia Community College in many ways represents that vision.
It is a place where New Yorkers from all walks of life can find a path to a
future…with a good job and a shot at a better life.
Every day, I sit behind the former desk of Mayor LaGuardia, reminded of
the courage we all must summon in our fight to make New York City
work better for everyone.
Now, we have some extraordinary New Yorkers in the audience today

who also share that vision, including one who has inspired me with her
intelligence, her drive, and her compassion for more than twenty years
– a young woman who has recently agreed to share her love for this city
by leading the non-profit Mayor’s Fund. Thank you for being my
guiding light, Chirlane – or, as you’re apparently now sometimes known,
#flonyc. (say: HASHTAG FLO NICE)
Thank you to my fellow elected officials in attendance: Public Advocate

Letitia James, City Comptroller Scott Stringer, and City Council Speaker
Melissa Mark Viverito. Thank you to the Members of Congress, the
City Council, and the State Legislature who have joined us as
well. And I must take a moment for us to acknowledge two amongst
us who have been executives of our city and state - Mayor David
Dinkins and Governor Mario Cuomo. You are all dedicated and able

public servants, true allies in the cause of social and economic justice.
And thank you, most of all, to my fellow New Yorkers.
We are here to discuss the New York City that we live in today; to lay
out our vision for where we will take it in the weeks and months to
come; and to discuss something larger – the core values we share as
New Yorkers pursuing progressive change.
This has already been quite a year.
In one month’s time, our city has weathered three major snowstorms
with typical grit and fortitude.
In fact, we’ve faced more snow last month than any new administration
since January of 1978, when Mayor Ed Koch led this city.
Beyond the recent snowstorms, the first few weeks of 2014 have been
quite busy.
We’ve played regional host to the Super Bowl, giving a strong economic
boost to New York City at a critical time.
Through Vision Zero, we have begun putting into place ambitious new
policies to END the tragic and unacceptable rash of pedestrian deaths on
our city streets.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the bravery and

dedication of the men and women who make up our city work force.
I know that these speeches have at times been used to attack the
motives of our public employees. Today, I want to recognize the hard
work and commitment of those men and women – and to say how
proud I am of them. The services you provide every single day in
neighborhoods across New York have made us the safest and strongest
big city in America, and you deserve our deep gratitude and respect.
Our public employees represent a thread that runs through this

Administration – a belief that public service is a noble calling – that part
of what makes New York special is helping our neighbors navigate life’s

challenges, big and small.
New York’s drive and diversity are unparalleled in this country, and we
have appointed a City Administration that proves it – putting our best
women and men in charge of delivering city services with efficiency and
integrity.
This is a team that knows how to execute its core responsibilities –

while never losing sight of the fact that we’re called to be part of a larger
mission as well.
Because the truth is, the state of our city, as we find it today, is a Tale of
Two Cities – with an inequality gap that fundamentally threatens our
future.
It must not, and will not, be ignored by your city government.
A little more than five years ago, the Great Recession hit our city
economy – and our neighborhoods – with a furious blow.
But more quickly than most predicted, our financial sector has come
back.
Wall Street has not only rebounded above its pre-recession levels, but
at present hovers near historic highs.
And in some of our neighborhoods, the streets are consistently safe and
opportunity consistently flows.
That is a good thing. We celebrate that success.
Yet for millions in this city – New Yorkers living in all five boroughs –
the economic rebound hasn’t just been slow in coming. It seems a
distant fantasy – with the ladder up to the good life stretching farther
and farther out of reach.
Good jobs that pay decent wages are all too scarce. Access to the best
health care seems, to many, to be a privilege that cannot be earned. To
countless New Yorkers, affordable housing is an oxymoron. And a
quality education – the most powerful tool we know for lifting one’s life

chances – has become a promise broken too many times to tally.
All the while, 46 percent of our city’s residents live at or near the
poverty line.
Our middle class isn’t just squeezed; it’s at risk of disappearing

altogether.
That disparity…that inequality crisis…is the greatest risk to our New

York promise.
Working people built our city, and for their hard work they were
rewarded – not always with great wealth, but with a fundamental
assurance…the knowledge that hard work could pull them from modest
means into a growing middle class.
Today, that assurance is missing…that sense of economic justice is gone.

And that is what we aim to address.
There are some who have taken issue with our commitment to this
cause – who say that income inequality is just a fact of life, and that
attempts to remedy it are simply sowing the seeds of class warfare.
But we know better. We understand that allowing the income gap to

stretch further isn’t simply a threat to those at the bottom – but to
every New Yorker.
And we also know this: New Yorkers’ personal commitment to tackling

inequality knows no boundaries of geography or income.
Many wealthy New Yorkers are committed to healing those divisions –

not out of mere altruism…not due to feelings of guilt, or pity. They
know that a Gilded City isn’t the New York they signed up for – even if
they currently find themselves doing quite well. They want all New
Yorkers to succeed because it enriches all our lives, including their own
– with vibrant neighborhoods and quality schools and fairly-treated
workers building a better and stronger city.
And make no mistake about the motives of those in our most hard-
pressed communities.

They don’t typically look to the rich with anger…they aren’t consumed
with jealousy or spite. They are simply in search of the city that they
signed up for – one that rewards not just wealth, but work.
A city that honors the notion that a single mom taking the subway to her
job as a housekeeper deserves to see her efforts rewarded, just as
readily as the family who owns the home she cleans.
That the young man who stocks the shelves deserves the same respect
and chance at a decent life as the executive who owns the store.
New York will only work when it works as ONE city. And here’s why:
Despair does not dissipate. Those who are discouraged – even hopeless
– about their future…cannot contribute their labor or energy or values
to their neighborhoods, or to the neighborhoods that sit just a short
subway ride away.
We demand a city that lifts the floor for those struggling day to
day…that offers every New Yorker a fair shot…because that is the city
that we ALL signed up for.
Mayor LaGuardia called for “government with a soul.” He saw beyond

the numbers in a budget…understood that those numbers represented
real people who were just trying to live their lives, and asked only for a
little help.
And that is what we resolve to do.
But before we talk about all the measures we will take to reach this goal,
it is important that we are honest with New Yorkers about our current
fiscal situation.
We are in the midst of an unprecedented budgetary challenge. We are

faced with a federal government in gridlock. There is uncertainty with
the state budget. And we have over 150 labor contracts that are
unsettled.
When you take all these factors into account, we are facing an uncharted
path.

In the face of this situation, we will be honest with New Yorkers about
their government. We will navigate towards a future that is progressive
and fiscally responsible.
It will not be easy.
But we will not turn away from the challenge.
Even with these impediments before us, we’ve begun the fight to lift the
floor for all New Yorkers…to improve the life conditions of those who
struggle with great determination -- not to get ahead -- but merely to
keep their heads above water. And we’re fighting to give everyone a
fair shot, so that city government doesn’t set its priorities by the needs
of those at the very top while ignoring the struggle of those born under
a less lucky star.
In the first month of this Administration, we have forged an agreement

with this City Council that will provide Paid Sick Leave to 500,000
additional New Yorkers.
New Yorkers like the woman I heard from (CHECK

TO MAK
t
Under the expanded Paid Sick Leave legislation, New Yorkers like
won’t see her job stripped away just because she put her health first.
(MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW PAID SICK LAW EXPANSION WOULD
APPLY HERE – IF IT DOESN’T, WE COULD USE
knows why that’s important. That’s why even before the new law
passed, she offered paid sick leave to her employees – because she

knows that a healthy workforce is a more productive workforce.
But expanding Paid Sick Leave is just one part of our effort to lift the
floor for our city’s middle class and working poor. This month, we will
extend the reach of living wage standards – ending a city lawsuit against
expanding that important legislation; and issuing an executive order to
set the expansion in motion (BDB NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS
EXACTLY). And we will work with the City Council to extend living
wages throughout projects the city subsidizes. (NUMBER OF
ADDITIONAL PEOPLE WE WILL REACH??)
We want to ensure that New Yorkers aren’t relegated to the ranks of the
poor when putting in a full week’s work. Next week, we (CAN WE SAY
NEXT WEEK?) will ask Albany to give New York City the power to raise
the minimum wage in all five boroughs. In the process, we will send a
powerful signal to the people of New York – that we honor work…and
that we are committed to making work pay.
We will lift the floor for New Yorkers crushed by skyrocketing rents…by
requiring developers to build affordable homes for everyday people
rather than simply multi-million dollar high-rises for the most fortunate
among us.
In total, we pledge to preserve or construct nearly 200,000 units of

affordable housing – to help working people by literally putting a roof
over their heads. On Saturday, we announced a top-flight team of
housing experts, and their first charge is to create and implement a plan
to reach this goal. (DO WE KNOW WHEN THAT PLAN WILL BE
PRODUCED BY?)
And while we lift the floor, we will also offer New Yorkers a fair
shot.
We have already taken bold new steps to reform the overuse of stop-
and-frisk.
We announced a settlement in the case of Floyd vs. the City of New York
– an acknowledgment of the wrongs spurred by a broken policing
policy…and a message to New Yorkers of every background that we will
respect equal protection under the law.

We continue working to build a bond of trust between law enforcement
and the neighborhoods they serve…to ensure that New Yorkers see
their safety AND their rights protected. And to protect our police
officers, who want and need community partners as they work so hard
to root out crime.
(IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN ANNOUNCE ABOUT HOW SHOOTINGS

ARE DOWN XYZ SINCE WE TOOK OFFICE – DOM OR PETER OR PHIL?)
Protecting the safety of all New Yorkers includes protecting the health
of all New Yorkers.
For months, I joined with others to stop the closures of our community
hospitals in Brooklyn. Many days, it seemed like we might not
prevail. But we did.
We made it clear that we will no longer accept a pattern of closing

hospitals without regard to the people who need the medical services
they provide.
Instead of watching hospitals shuttered and simply sold off to the

highest bidder, we will continue the battles we’ve won over the last
several months – requiring alternatives that put the health of our
people ahead of profits.
This is not something from which we will retreat.
We will protect those whose voices too often go unheard. We will reach
out to our undocumented immigrants -- issuing municipal ID cards this
year -- so that no daughter or son of our city goes without bank
accounts, leases, library cards…simply because they lack identification.
New York City is your home too, and we will not force ANY of our
residents to live their lives in the shadows.
La ciudad de Nueva York es el hogar de todos los que vivimos aqui. No

dejaremos que ninguno de nuestros residentes viva en las sombras.
We’ll offer a fair shot to the workforce of tomorrow…changing a

mindset that focuses on tax breaks for big corporations rather than
making it easier for our people to earn the skills they need to land jobs

at those companies.
We know the soaring cost of CUNY makes higher education harder and
harder for everyday New Yorkers to afford.
And we understand that higher education is the path to a better life…the

great equalizer…the key to lifting oneself into the middle class.
To that end, we will focus on the training and skills that individuals need
to meet the demands generated by large and small employers of our
city.
We will strengthen the links between the hubs of high quality industrial
job creation and our high schools, public and community colleges and
workforce development organizations.
And we’ll not only fight to shift resources from corporate subsidies to
tuition assistance, we’ll work to connect higher education to the jobs
that the 21st Century workforce requires.
CUNY has always been the engine that drove New York’s economy,
making sure that our great industries had the workforce they needed to
thrive.
Today, new industries are driving an economic future with jobs we

could not have envisioned just a few years ago.
And CUNY is going to fill those jobs with New Yorkers who are educated
and ready to work.
We will forgo big giveaways to a few select companies and instead

pursue a city economic strategy that grows whole sectors of small
businesses in emerging industries – from technology to green jobs, to
food exports, to advanced manufacturing – companies that can generate
good jobs at decent wages in all five boroughs.
We will create a Low–Income Entrepreneur Fund and a Fashion

Manufacturing Fund -- which will leverage private capital to ensure
small business growth and fashion manufacturing across all five
boroughs.

And we’ll create jobs for young people who are growing up in this city…
who have always called this home. Here’s how.
First, we will advance a dedicated Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Math – or STEM program -- at CUNY – to start preparing more graduates
of our public high schools for jobs in the city’s tech industry. To that
end, our aim is that within eight years, the majority of skilled
technology-related jobs in New York City are being filled by those
educated in New York City schools. We will look to the innovation
economy not just to grow companies, but also to put New Yorkers to
work.
Second, as our health sector continues to rapidly grow, we will prepare

more of our unemployed, and our young people, for middle-skill,
middle-class jobs…by scaling-up innovative programs like the Bronx’s
Health Education and Research Occupations High School that connects
New Yorkers to CUNY and to relevant work experience at Montefiore
hospital.
Third, for people without a college degree, we will reinvent our maze of
overlapping and often-ineffective job training programs --- and invest in
industry-linked apprenticeship programs that directly connect New
Yorkers to jobs in emerging industries such as green building
innovation, information technology, and telecommunications.
Fourth, we will connect city high schools to colleges, apprenticeship

programs, or industries that correspond to the skills our students learn.
We will reverse the trend of importing engineers, nurses, and other
skilled workers to fill New York City jobs -- and start in-sourcing good
jobs for those who live here now, and are desperate for work.
While we continue to invest in and expand our new businesses, we

won’t lose sight of the industries that have made us the center of
commerce and culture. We will pursue a five borough economic agenda
that integrates new industries with traditional drivers of job growth in
our city.
Finally, we will not forget our obligations to the people of this city still
recovering from the after effects of super-storm Sandy.
10

We are resolved to make the efforts underway function more effectively
and efficiently.
In the aftermath of the storm, I personally made it my mission to see the

devastation in those neighborhoods myself.
I made a promise that if elected Mayor, I would make this recovery a

focus of my administration.
In the coming weeks we'll make good on the pledge with a

comprehensive review and updated plan to help those still feeling the
effects of Sandy.
And above all, we WILL give a fair shot to those who deserve it most –
our children – ALL of them.
We will offer every child from every borough of this city truly universal
full-day Pre-K.
We will provide quality extended learning programs for every middle

schooler.
And for this, we won’t wait. We have a detailed plan to put this program
into effect THIS September.
And we will do this by asking those who make more than a half-million
dollars a year to pay a little more in taxes.
For those making between $500,000 and a million dollars a year, that
means an average of about 900 bucks a year. But to the young minds
that we help shape…the pre-teen lives that we keep safe…the generation
of working New Yorkers that we put on a path to success…it will be
priceless.
Now, I know that last part has been the subject of some debate in recent
weeks. And I know that people of good conscience can have different
plans for how to achieve better outcomes for our kids. So let me take
just a moment to make MY case for why our plan is the way to make that
promise to our young people a reality.
11

There are some who say that Albany shouldn't approve our plan
because the STATE government simply cannot raise ANY taxes right
now.
But that is NOT the debate. We’re not asking Albany to raise the state
income tax by a penny to pay for universal Pre-K and after-school
programs here in New York City. We’re simply asking Albany to allow
New York City to tax itself – its wealthiest residents…those making a
half-million or more a year.
Raising taxes on the rich makes our commitment to our kids more than
just words. It makes that commitment REAL. It makes that
commitment FAIR. And it offers a promise to our kids that they can
COUNT ON.
If there ARE extra resources in the state budget, we must remember

that the courts have ruled – in the landmark Campaign for Fiscal Equity
decision several years ago -- that we are currently being short-changed
on our OVERALL state education budget…to the tune of several BILLION
dollars.
Here in New York City we have a detailed plan, and it’s on the table –
one that’s real; that’s fair; that’s reasonable.
So, let’s dedicate the funding we need to do what New York City must –
and let’s tap the wealthiest New Yorkers to do so.
This is about the children of New York, and just how strong of a
commitment we are willing to make to THEIR futures…and OUR OWN.
And that is a commitment I hear every day -- not just from middle class,
working class, and low-income New Yorkers – but from good people
from EVERY income bracket – people who know that for New York to
move forward, we must ask those who have achieved great success to
give a little back…to ensure that stories like theirs are possible for the
next generation.
As I said in my inaugural address, we do not do this to punish success.

We do it to create more success stories.
12

New Yorkers don’t look at government as federal and state and local.
They look at it – at all of us – as their elected representatives…the
people they are counting on to make a difference in their lives.
And we here in New York City government have many tools at our
disposal to make good on that promise…on that responsibility…and we
will use them.
We find ourselves at a fork in the road. We can look down the path that
we’ve been on for far too long. We can see it as the easier trail to
traverse, and fool ourselves into thinking it’s our only option.
Or we can take the OTHER road…the path to closing the inequality

gap…that very NEW YORK option of taking on big challenges and
getting results.
That’s what Mayor La Guardia did – bringing the New Deal to New York
City. That’s what so many women and men of great vision and
compassion…of strong values and quiet struggle…of fierce
determination and relentless action…have done throughout New York’s
history.
That’s the path I choose today. I ask my fellow citywide elected officials,
members of this City Council and the State Legislature – and all New
Yorkers – to join me.
We’ve one got one chance to get this right. Let’s seize it.
Thank you, and God bless the people of New York!

It’s a great honor to join Mayor de Blasio, Deputy Mayor Glen and this wonderful
team to ensure that every New Yorker has a safe, high-quality, affordable home in a
neighborhood that helps its residents build better lives for themselves and their
children. No city can call itself great when people are forced to choose between
skipping the rent or seeing their kids go hungry, of going without heat or going
without the medicine their partners need. No one should have to force themselves
at the end of a hard day to close their eyes to the mold and mice and misery of
dilapidated housing. And no city can thrive when luxury penthouses look over
neighborhoods where parents have to panic that their kids will not make it home
from school safely, where talented people willing to work hard can’t find jobs, where
the street is marked by decay rather than the vibrant energy that makes New York
City great.
New York City has led the nation in trying to ensure affordable housing and safe,
high opportunity neighborhoods for all its residents, but the challenge is huge, and
at times it feels like we’ve been swimming upstream – losing precious units even as
we’ve tried hard to provide for the needs of a growing population. But now we have
an incredible opportunity to make New York a 21st Century Progressive City. We
have a mayor who not only has an ambitious goal and a clear vision, but who knows
community development first hand from his years as Regional Director of the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development. We have a deputy mayor who has
spent her entire career focused on finding creative, smart ways to revitalize
communities. We have a mandate from voters to make New York City a place of

opportunity not just for the fortunate, but for every family, in every neighborhood.
We have challenges to be sure, but we have an incredible chance to show the world
that you can have a city that is both thriving and equitable, that provides parks and
other high quality services to enrich every neighborhood, and that helps every New
Yorker to build the life she or he wants.
I’m delighted to be given the honor of joining the mayor and deputy mayor in
pursuing those goals. It’s a bit daunting, to say the least, to think about helping to
create and preserve 200,000 units of housing, when that is about 1000 times the
number of homes in the town in which I grew up. My father chose to set up an auto
body shop in Naturita, Colorado in its boom years in the late 1950s and early 1960s,
when the uranium mines in the surrounding hills were supplying vanadium for the
cold war. We arrived just in time for the bust of the 60’s, which unfortunately
persists to this day. It was dirt poor and lacked all social services. While I learned
many lessons from dedicated teachers, the school struggled to provide even the
basics. Drunk-driving, drugs, and violence claimed many young men, while girls
took on the responsibilities of parenthood before they were even old enough to get a
learner’s permit. It turned out that our houses and trailers had been built or parked
on the radioactive waste from the mines (which some folks say give me a nice
glow!). My sister and I spent many nights in our basement bedroom trying to ignore
the fumes of battery acid and radiator coolant from the shop on the other side of the
wall. I have fond memories of times with my wonderful family, but Naturita was

not a neighborhood of opportunity. It closed doors, rather than opening
possibilities.
I was incredibly lucky to escape – I won a cooking scholarship with my orange-
glazed porkchops and razzle dazzle jello salad, and was able to go to Colorado State
University. There, a wonderful professor named Derry Eynon encouraged me to
submit a story idea to Consumer Reports Magazine, and Consumer Reports saw
something in my letter and offered me an internship. Having little sense, other than
a sense of adventure, I decided NYC seemed doable when I lucked into affordable,
safe housing. I moved into the Webster Apartments for Women on 9th Avenue and
34th Street, and begin to build the live I wanted to lead. I’ve been so fortunate – I
have an amazingly warm, funny, loving and supersmart husband, who came to NYC
from Argentina. I have two incredible children, Joshua now a NYC Urban Fellow,
and Sarah, now a freshman at Swarthmore. At NYU Law School and at the Furman
Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy I have had the fortune of doing work that I
love every day, with people I learn from and enjoy. I owe New York City, and the
chance that it gave me from that safe space on 34th Street, so much. I want New
York City to continue to give people like me opportunities. I want every New Yorker
to have the safe and affordable home that I was lucky to find, in a neighborhood that
allows them to get the education and job they need, to develop the friendships and
families that will sustain them, to build the meaningful lives they want, and at the
end of the day – to say – my neighborhood helped make that possible.

It is such an honor to be part of the Mayor’s team that will try to make that vision a
reality. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give back to the City that has
given me so much.

Subject: Note from bdb re: Cuomo comments on inequality
From the mayor: "I will restrain myself but only up to a point." In reference to the article
below.
Cuomo turns ‘tale of two cities’ on de Blasio in pre-K fight

NEW YORK POST - Carl Campanile
February 15, 2014
Gov. Cuomo dropped a political bomb on Mayor de Blasio Friday by turning the mayor’s own
“tale of two cities” mantra against him in the fevered fight over pre-K funding.
“I know the ‘tale of two cities.’ The answer to the tale of two cities is not to create two
states,” Cuomo said in a WNYC radio interview blasting de Blasio’s plan to hike city income
taxes on the rich to pay for universal pre-K classes within the five boroughs.
“The answer to inequity and inequality is not to create more inequity and inequality,” Cuomo
added.
Cuomo even got in a sly dig at de Blasio’s claim to the “two cities” theme, suggesting he’s
not the first politician to invoke it.
In a bit of political one-upmanship that hit close to his own home, Cuomo pointed out that it
was his father, Mario Cuomo, who brought up the very same “two cities” issue 30 years ago.
“I was in the audience in 1984 at the Democratic convention when I think it was articulated
very well,” said Cuomo.
If that wasn’t enough to grab de Blasio’s attention, Cuomo also came to the defense of the
wealthy who would largely bear the burden of the mayor’s tax proposal.
Cuomo said the state has already extended a surcharge on millionaires “which is one of the
reasons why we have the resources to pay for pre-K statewide.”

Cuomo is pushing for $2 billion in statewide tax cuts as he seeks a sweeping re-election
victory this year, and higher taxes for the city don’t fit into that agenda.
Cuomo argued that a new tax just on New York City residents earning at least $500,000
wouldn’t be fair to less affluent municipalities that don’t have such an enormous pocket of
wealth to finance more pre-K classes in their school districts.
“I don’t support a system that the millionaires in New York City funding a system for the
children in New York City. I support a statewide system because the children in New York City
are precious and so are the children of Buffalo and so are the children in Albany and the
children in Suffolk,” Cuomo said.
He insisted his $1.5 billion universal, full-day pre-K plan phased in over five years is
adequate despite de Blasio putting the cost of the city’s program alone at more than $2.5
billion.
Even though the mayor and his surrogates have repeatedly pushed back hard against
Cuomo’s plan , the mayor’s office on Friday responded gently to his latest comments.
“The mayor and the governor share a commitment to ending inequality, but an honest
assessment of the mayor’s plan for universal pre–K leaves no doubt: It’s best for the people
of New York state as well. It provides free, universal pre-K for the children of New York City
with the funding to pay for it,” said de Blasio spokeswoman Marti Adams.

Bill Deblasio Inner Circle ideas:
“DeBlasio’s Pizzeria”
-All dishes come with silverware.
-Universal kids’ menu.
-Delivery boys complain about having to drive in the snow, but DeBlasio says
if the schools are open, then they’re working! And under his watch, schools will
ALWAYS be open, even if Al Roker says they shouldn’t be!
-“But it’s Saturday!”
-“Deliver to [address], now!” / “But sir, Google Maps says there isn’t a
house there!” / (DeBlasio hands the delivery boy a hammer and nails) “Then you’d
better get busy! I promised to fix housing in 30 minutes or less, remember!”
Playing chess, opponent (Cuomo?) captures his bishop, demands it be released

immediately.
“There’s too much snow! You’re in over your head!”

“How much is there?”
“Six feet!”
“Nope, not over my head yet!”

Hi Max,
Hope you are doing well – Elias in White House IGA directed

The VP is filming a PSA with several actors on campus sexual

assault. It will be much like the PSA he did with the President
and male athletes on dating violence that you may have
seen: http://www.whitehouse.gov/1is2many
Our goal is to release in April. We are looking to film in NYC

diners – we don’t need crews (we will use WH
videographers), but we would like to know from your office
what diners in NYC would be comfortable with us filming.
We’re looking for something a little “gritty” – maybe brick

greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you have any
questions.

@RebeccaKKatz

BDB QUESTLOVE
The Mayor is at his desk.
RECEPTIONIST (O.S)
Mayor, your son is here to see you,
MAYOR
Send him in.
Questlove enters.
MAYOR
Ms. Jackson, this isn’t my son. It’s my new Chief
of City Music.
QUESTLOVE
No worries, happens all the time.
MAYOR
You said you had an idea to liven up the city. What
is it?
QUESTLOVE
Walk ons.
MAYOR
Walk ons?
QUESTLOVE
Kind of like on the Tonight Show where everyone
has a theme song. We give famous New Yorkers
their own themesongs. Everytime someone walks
into your office their special song plays.
MAYOR
Isn’t that politically dangerous?
QUESTLOVE
Nah, it never ever ever backfires.

MAYOR
Like what would you do for Donald Trump?
Questlove hits his ipod and with each name we hear the
song. We could punch it with a photo.
QUESTLOVE
This one. Hair (Give Me a Head with Hair).
MAYOR
ARod.
QUESTLOVE
Money for Nothing.
MAYOR
Alec Baldwin.
QUESTLOVE
Shout.
MAYOR
Bernie Madoff.
QUESTLOVE
Don’t think he’s gonna be walking anywhere soon.
But one of these. I Fought the Law and the Law
Won or Take the Money and Run
(WE COULD PLAY THIS OUT ONCE YOU GET US OTHER
NAMES TO “TARGET”, WE ADD REPORTERS)
MAYOR
This is great. Brilliant. Would I have my own song
when I speak in public. You know,like Hail to the
Chief.
QUESTLOVE
I was thinking more like this. Taxman.
Questlove leaves.

RECEPTIONIST
Your next appointment is here.
WE HAVE A SURPRISE CELEB ENTER AND A SONG
PLAYS AS THE ENDING
Example—Bloomberg--Short People: Mike Woodson 99
problems; Kathie Lee and Hoda—Bottle of Wine: Al Roker—
Let It Snow; School’s Out.

BDB VIDEO BUMPERS
As bumpers and breaks in between sketches we can

show man in street videos of celebs or real people
commenting on the Mayor and his first 80 days
SAMPLES—IF WE LIKE MORE TO COME
HARRY BELAFONTE
What kind of New York do I want—let me tell you about
it. I want a New York where everyone is treated equally
except if you live on the Upper East Side
AVERAGE PERSON
He’s the greatest mayor we’ve had since Bloomberg
KID
I love him because I can drink big sodas and not worry
about getting arrested
JASON COLLINS
He’s done a great job, I was unemployed before he
became mayor.
Or
I want a mayor who sticks up for the little guy
MAYOR BLOOMBERG
Me too! Miss me?
MARTHA PLIMPTON

I want a New York where they close the George
Washington Bridge 24 hours a day to incoming traffic
from New Jersey
ALAN CUMMING (note—he could play an emcee for us

on stage if free)
Very disappointed. If he believes in diversity where are
all the Scottish appointments?
BIG PAPI
I want a New York where the Mayor can wear a Red Sox
hat to Yankee stadium. Because this is his #$#@@ city
ORDINARY PERSON ON STREET

The best thing I say about him—he’s tall…he’s taller
than Bloomberg
The mayor. Love him. You can really travel fast across
town if you get behind his motorcade.

BDB GAME SHOW
Note--we can do as Jeopardy or can do as a new show BDB
brought to New York “Are You Smarter than our new Mayor/How
Much Do You Know about New York City”. Let me know which
concept grabs you and we can adjust but for now JEOPARDY
works best. Simple set: podium for a “host type” and two
contestants: The Mayor and Al Sharpton (or Questlove)
HOST
Welcome to tonight’s episode of
Jeopardy, New York Celebrity
edition. Both our contestants
tonight will be playing for their
favorite charity. Now the game is
simple, there are 6 categories to

their general knowledge as well as
specific knowledge about New York,
All responses must be phrased in
question form. Now let’s meet our
contestants. First up is the
current Mayor of New York, please
welcome Bill DeBlasio.
The Mayor enters.
HOST (CONT’D)
And now our second contestant, he’s
a Baptist minister,
television/radio talk show host and
one time Presidential candidate.
The Mayor hits his buzzer.
MAYOR
Who is Mike Huckabee?
HOST
The game hasn’t begun yet.
MAYOR
Sorry, I was going a little too
fast...again.
HOST
Please welcome the Reverend Al
Sharpton. Reverend Sharpton, what
charity are you playing for?

I’m playing for an organization
that has fallen on hard times.

BDB JOB INTERVIEW
(Mayor, Steve Buscemi
as Nucky)
(2 CHAIRS AND A DESK, ARE SET CENTER

STAGE. MAYOR HOLDS A CLIPBOARD. HE SITS
IN THE CHAIR BEHIND THE DESK)
MAYOR DEBLASIO
As you may have heard, I have a few
appointments left to make. So, in the interest of
total transparency, I’m going to have one of the
interviews right here. I think the applicant is ready.
The position is Czar of Snow Removal and
Enforcement. Please send in Enoch Johnson.
(STEVE BUSCEMI ENTERS AS NUCKY. MAYOR

STANDS AND TAKES A FEW STEPS TO GREET
HIM. NUCKY SITS BEHIND THE DESK)
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Mr. Johnson?
NUCKY
They call me Nucky.

Nucky?
NUCKY
It’s a kind of a nickname, like Lucky, Waxey,
Chalky, Scarface. The usual.

BDB JOB INTERVIEW
as Nucky)
MAYOR DEBLASIO
It’s just that Nucky sounds a bit…unusual.
NUCKY
So, you’re suggesting I change my name, ‘cause it
sounds funny?
MAYOR DEBLASIO
No. I’d never suggest that. That would be wrong.
Let’s move on. Have you had much experience in
government?
NUCKY
You kidding me? I have an Empire! On the
Boardwalk.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Good. So you can honestly say that you’re a
leader.
NUCKY
If we only elected or appointed honest men, we’d
have no leaders.

MAYOR DEBLASIO
(LAUGHS) Ain’t that the truth!
(CHANGES TONE) Enforcement is part of this
position. Is that within your current job description?
NUCKY
I have people who do the enforcing. I’m more of a
delegator.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
According to the press, have an issue with snow.
Do you have any experience removing snow?
NUCKY
Let’s just say that I’ve had some unwanted things
removed and leave it at that.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Okay. Well, you seem qualified for this. Thanks
very much for coming in.
NUCKY
When do I start?
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Well, I still have a few applicants to meet.

(A SUGGESTION OF THE HONEYMOONERS KITCHEN - A KITCHEN TABLE WITH 2

CHAIRS, CENTER, PERHAPS A DOOR, UPSTAGE CENER. CYNTHIA ENTERS THRU THE
DOOR, OR UP CENTER, HOLDING A SMALL PAPER BAG)
TRIXIE
Alice! Alice!
(WE HEAR ALICE’S VOICE – OFF STAGE RIGHT)
ALICE (O.S.)
Be out in a minute, Trix.
TRIXIE
I brought the onions I borrowed.
(CHIRLANE ENTERS AS ALICE)
ALICE
Thanks, Trixie. You’re just in time. I’m about to put this in the oven.
TRIXIE
What are you having for your big anniversary dinner?
ALICE
Pizza. And you know Hizzonor. He likes to eat it with a knife and fork.
TRIXIE
And he calls himself Italian! You know, Alice, I was thinking back to the old days, before we were both
married.
ALICE
Those were some fun times. Remember how, after poetry class, we used to “experiment.”
TRIXIE
Yeah, just to see what it was like to “play for the other team” because it was so “forbidden.”
ALICE
I can’t believe we went to that Al D’Amato campaign rally. Now I know why our parents warned us
about turning Republican.
TRIXIE
I can’t imagine living a life like that. Well, listen, Ed will be home any minute and I haven’t started his
supper yet. You know how low energy he gets when he doesn’t eat…
(STEVE, AS NORTON, MAKES A BIG ENTRANCE THRU THE DOOR. HE CARRIES A BEAT-
UP CANDELABRA)

NORTON
Hellooo, ladies! What’s for supper?
TRIXIE
I was just going upstairs to put it on. See ya later, Alice.
(SHE EXITS)
ALICE
Hiya, Ed. What do you have there?
NORTON
This? This is a genuine 17th Century silver candelabra, forged by Paul Revere.
ALICE
Paul Revere lived in the 18th Century.
NORTON
He was a man ahead of his time. It’s my anniversary gift to you and the big man.
ALICE
That’s awfully sweet, Ed. But we can’t accept it. It’s too valuable. Why don’t you and Trixie keep it?
NORTON
We have one already.
ALICE
Where’d you get them?
(AS HE PUTS IT ON THE TABLE)
NORTON
In the sewer! Rinse it off and it’ll be just like new. There’s a lot of stuff down there – David Dinkins’
old tax returns, Giuliani’s little black book, and today, we chased a rat that was as big as…
(THE MAYOR ENTERS THRU THE DOOR IN RALPH KRAMDEN FASHON)
MAYOR DEBLASIO
I’m hungry. Where’s my dinner?
ALICE
It’ll be ready in as soon as you wash up.
Look what Ed brought us for our anniversary.
NORTON
Take a look at that, old boy! Genuine silver forged by none other than Paul Revere.
(HE PICKS UP CANDELABRA AND EXAMINES IT)

MAYOR DEBLASIO
This thing must be worth millions! Better put it away, or I’ll have to pay tax on it. Where’d you get it?
NORTON
In the sewer!
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Will you get outta here, Norton!
(NORTON EXITS, RETURNS FOR A MOMENT TO TAKE BACK THE CANDELABRA, EXITS
AGAIN)
ALICE
Norton was just trying to be nice. The least you could do is show him some gratitude.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Gratitude. Gratitude? I’ve gotta show him gratitude? When is someone gonna show me some gratitude?
I work my fingers to the bone for this city and what do I get? Weathermen are mocking me. The New
York Post calls me “a Cuba-loving socialist.” I’m the mayor, Alice. You get that? I’m the mayor. And
you’re all nothing. Get that? I’m the mayor and you’re nothing.
ALICE
So what? You’re the mayor of nothing. Now sit down and eat your pizza before you waste away to
nothing.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
One of these days, Alice, bang-zoom! To the Upper East Side!
(THEY EMBRACE)
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Baby, you’re the greatest!

CAPITAL NY—How de Blasio can fix his press problem
By Blake Zeff
Between the acts of nature, harsh realities of dealing with Albany, and some unforced errors, it’s
been a challenging first two months for the de Blasio administration.
The mayor's managerial skills were tested early and often by the snowiest winter in memory. His
signature pre-K plan came under attack from his frenemy, Andrew Cuomo. And he grew frustrated
answering questions about a call to the police department about an ally, and then about the driving
of his security detail.
Compounding all of it has been his startlingly toxic relationship with the New York City press corps.
The bad news is that as long as the press is hostile to him—and nearly every reporter I’ve spoken to
who covers City Hall has ripped him—it will impede his policy and political goals. The good news for
him is it’s still very early, and the relationship is salvageable.
I'm out of the business of political communications now, after a decade working for candidates and
officials on the local, state and presidential level. But if I were advising de Blasio, here's what I'd tell
him:
You need to adjust your perspective when it comes to the media, fast, beginning by recognizing that
you now have a 24-hour press corps devoted to covering nothing but you. This isn't true of many
other elected officials in the country who aren't governors or the president. Even U.S. senators
don’t get the kind of round-the-clock attention a mayor of New York City gets. This is obviously a big
adjustment from when you were the public advocate and had to hustle to get press attention. And
whatever you think you know from your experience as a political operative, this intense media
attention isn't something you're simply going to handle with clever tactics. This is a reality that
you're going to have to deal with for as long as you're mayor.
This means that when you give a speech to a group like AIPAC, you can't not tell the press about it
and then act surprised when you get caught. It means that when you hang out with Upper East
Siders and talk about the snow, it's a public event, subject to scrutiny and interpretation. And it
means that when you call the police to check in on a politically supportive reverend’s arrest, it’s a
story. I get that it’s annoying that your predecessor got away with going to Bermuda on many
weekends and being left alone. And I realize that none of these items would have been newsworthy
when you were a councilman or public advocate. But they're news now.
Speaking of which, it shouldn't come as news to you that the New York City press corps will
sometimes focus on stories that aren't important. Should reporters care more about the policy
details of pre-K and paid sick leave than your pizza etiquette and the timing of your move to Gracie
Mansion? 100 percent. When they don't, it can be maddening. Will it change anytime soon, no
matter how many lectures you deliver to them about it? Not a chance. You ran to be mayor of the

tabloid capital of America. Sideshows come with the job. You need to manage this, and can.
For example, realize that the reporters have editors who are demanding they write a certain number
of stories every single day. They’re under enormous pressure to please their bosses, and not get
beat by others. Therefore, if you don’t give them something to cover, they’ll find it themselves. This
is where an old maxim for dealing with the New York tabloids, which we used in a war room many
years back, comes in: Give them a hamburger, or become the hamburger.
You need to feed these reporters fun and interesting story ideas. Sometimes this means putting
what seem unimportant little things on the public schedule, like meeting with constituents or
speaking at events. Let the press in on things like your post-storm meeting on the Upper East Side,
even if the circumstances aren't ideal for you; better to have them there for the apology, in your
words, than let them interpret it afterward.
Also, as documented on this site by Dana Rubinstein, you've often seemed unprepared to give
meaningful answers to substantive questions, even when they're on topics that you're choosing to
highlight. That has to change, if your complaints about the superficial stuff are to be taken seriously.
Here’s another way not to needlessly infuriate your devoted press corps. If you insist on limiting
their access to you (including prematurely exiting press conferences or declining to answer
questions), don’t then go on a run of national media appearances. I saw you on Alec Baldwin, Al
Sharpton, Chris Hayes, Jon Stewart, and the Today Show in the last few weeks alone, and there’s
word you’ll also be on "The Good Wife." It’s got to be fun to get invited on to all these shows and
indulge the desire to get some national attention. But know that if you do that at the same time you
keep your distance from the local press, the local press is not going to be pleased.
Be proactive, getting your positive story out on a given topic before a negative one develops. For
example, take the never-ending rash of snow storms the city has endured. In truth, your
administration has done a good job handling them, overall. Yet the enduring stories were distraught
Upper East Siders and, bizarrely, Al Roker.
It’s not hard to imagine how your predecessor’s press office might have handled this. Howard
Wolfson would have inundated the media with tons of data showing how impressive the
administration’s performance was, from the unprecedented number of snow storms they were
enduring to the number of blocks cleared in how many hours compared to previous years, etc. This
would have been done via press release, Twitter, and proactive emails and phone calls to every
reporter who might be covering the management of the storm. In the absence of an all-out effort
like this, you end up with "SHAMBLES!" and Rokergate.
Finally, it is evident from your approach to the press that you don't think newspaper coverage
matters. An understandable conclusion for your team to draw, since you coasted to election with
the tabloids and Times treating you during the campaign with hostility and tepidness, respectively.
But here's the thing: This isn’t a campaign anymore. Unlike what happened in August, you won’t go
days without stories in the papers, when the only communications voters receive about you is the
media you paid for. Now there are no ads, and saturation coverage in the papers.

The tabloids are picked up by commuters who plunk down a dollar and scan the headlines on the
train. The Daily News has a huge circulation in the outer boroughs, among the very voters you’re
supposed to be connecting with. Along with the Post, it becomes obsessed with issues. It has the
ability to take something on and cover it relentlessly for days.
These mini-campaigns thrive on public outrage, and very effectively stoke it. If this is happening
every day, in a climate where you don’t have commercials or endorsement events to counter the
negativity, don't fool yourself: You will take a hit.
Remember that story about your security detail flouting traffic laws that was reported by Marcia
Kramer of WCBS? With all due respect to that outlet, the story wasn’t a big deal because everyone
in the city was watching channel 2 that night. It became huge because the tabloids picked it up and
ran with it, and then you reacted angrily instead of intelligently. You may not respect what reporters
do or which stories they focus on. But don’t think that means they don't matter.
In the end, you have plenty of time to turn this around. A different approach to these guys won’t
turn the toxic coverage into gold, but it will mitigate the hostility and make life more manageable.
The key point to remember is that effective communication during campaigns is not the same as
effective communication in government. Now that you’re mayor, you can't bypass your devoted
press corps. The days of riding to glory on a charming Dante ad are, sadly, over.

Alice! Alice!

Be out in a minute, Trix.
TRIXIE
I brought the onions I borrowed.
(CHIRLANE ENTERS AS ALICE)
ALICE
Thanks, Trixie. You’re just in time. I’m about to put this in the oven.
TRIXIE
What are you having for your big anniversary dinner?
ALICE
Pizza. And you know Hizzonor. He likes to eat it with a knife and fork.
TRIXIE
And he calls himself Italian! You know, Alice, I was thinking back to the old days, before we were both
married.
ALICE
Those were some fun times. Remember how, after poetry class, we used to “experiment.”
TRIXIE
Yeah, just to see what it was like to “play for the other team” because it was so “forbidden.”
ALICE
I can’t believe we went to that Al D’Amato campaign rally. Now I know why our parents warned us
about turning Republican.
TRIXIE
I can’t imagine living a life like that. Well, listen, Ed will be home any minute and I haven’t started his
supper yet. You know how low energy he gets when he doesn’t eat…

Hellooo, ladies! What’s for supper?
TRIXIE
I was just going upstairs to put it on. See ya later, Alice.
(SHE EXITS)
ALICE
Hiya, Ed. What do you have there?
NORTON
This? This is a genuine 17th Century silver candelabra, forged by Paul Revere.
ALICE
Paul Revere lived in the 18th Century.
NORTON
He was a man ahead of his time. It’s my anniversary gift to you and the big man.
ALICE
That’s awfully sweet, Ed. But we can’t accept it. It’s too valuable. Why don’t you and Trixie keep it?
NORTON
We have one already.
ALICE
Where’d you get them?
(AS HE PUTS IT ON THE TABLE)
NORTON
In the sewer! Rinse it off and it’ll be just like new. There’s a lot of stuff down there – David Dinkins’
old tax returns, Giuliani’s little black book, and today, we chased a rat that was as big as…
(THE MAYOR ENTERS THRU THE DOOR IN RALPH KRAMDEN FASHON)
MAYOR DEBLASIO
I’m hungry. Where’s my dinner?
ALICE
It’ll be ready in as soon as you wash up.
Look what Ed brought us for our anniversary.
NORTON
Take a look at that, old boy! Genuine silver forged by none other than Paul Revere.
(HE PICKS UP CANDELABRA AND EXAMINES IT)

MAYOR DEBLASIO
This thing must be worth millions! Better put it away, or I’ll have to pay tax on it. Where’d you get it?
NORTON
In the sewer!
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Will you get outta here, Norton!
(NORTON EXITS, RETURNS FOR A MOMENT TO TAKE BACK THE CANDELABRA, EXITS
AGAIN)
ALICE
Norton was just trying to be nice. The least you could do is show him some gratitude.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
Gratitude. Gratitude? I’ve gotta show him gratitude? When is someone gonna show me some gratitude?
I work my fingers to the bone for this city and what do I get? Weathermen are mocking me. The New
York Post calls me “a Cuba-loving socialist.” I’m the mayor, Alice. You get that? I’m the mayor. And
you’re all nothing. Get that? I’m the mayor and you’re nothing.
ALICE
So what? You’re the mayor of nothing. Now sit down and eat your pizza before you waste away to
nothing.
MAYOR DEBLASIO
One of these days, Alice, bang-zoom! To the Upper East Side!

INT. KITCHEN
3 Italian guys, sitting around a table, dressed in boxer
shorts, t shirts and chains. It would be great to have the
governor in the mix but it can be actors. Theme is they are
complaining about BDB while eating pizza.
TONY HUSBAND 1
He’s changed.
JOEY HUSBAND 2
The minute he got elected he
started putting on airs.
A slice drops to the floor, he picks it up and eats it.
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
He used to be fun, hanging out,
playing cards, complaining about
the cops.
TONY HUSBAND 1
Yeah but when he complained about
the cops it was different than the
things we complain about with the
cops.
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
Either way they’re hassling
somebody named Dante.
JOEY HUSBAND 2
You know where it went wrong. When
he started eating pizza with a fork
like they do in the Upper East
Side.
TONY HUSBAND 1
No, it went wrong when he took off
the jewelry. Said it slowed him
down going through metal detectors.
JOEY HUSBAND 2
We should have elected a real
Italian like Lhota.
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
I hear Lhota is only part Italian.
He’s Czech and a Catholic although
under Jewish law they say he’s
Jewish.

2.
JOEY HUSBAND 2
You know who else is Jewish?
Anthony Weiner.
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
How do you know?
JOEY HUSBAND 2
I seen the pictures. He had one of
those bar mitzvahs where they lop
off part of the prosciutto. You get
gifts so it’s okay.
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
They’d have to give me a lot more
than a fountain pen to do that.
TONY HUSBAND 1
Look if Bill shows up and acts like
the old Bill, we let him retain his
membership in the Real Italian
Husbands of New York. But if he
starts talking those wacky ideas of
his, he’s out.
They toast each other.
Bill enters dressed like Paulie Walnuts, track suit, chains,

carrying pizza.
MAYOR
Look who’s got food.
TONY HUSBAND 1
It’s the old Bill!
Bill grabs a slice of pizza and eats it with his hands.
JOEY HUSBAND 2
Look he ate it with his hands.
Just like old times with the Real
Italian husbands of New York.
MAYOR
Not so fast. I have an
announcement. We need diversity.
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
I’m already not liking where this
is going.

3.
MAYOR
So I brought a friend who is a
perfect addition to our group--plus
he adds some diversity. Hey Mario!
MICHAEL HUSBAND #3
He got Cuomo?
JOEY HUSBAND 2
It don’t matter. Your name is Mario
and you’re married, that’s not
diversity...you’re okay in my book.
I bet he’s a real gavone.
Mario Cantone enters.
MARIO
Hello guys!
Grumbling.
JOEY HUSBAND 2
Whoa! The rule is you have to be a
real Italian husband.
MARIO
I’m married. Jerry! Plus I bought
food.
Mario’s husband comes in eating pizza with his hands.
TONY HUSBAND 1
Hey, he’s okay with me!
Lights dim, spotlight on Mayor speaking to audience as Mario

and Jerry sit down and play cards.
MAYOR
Because that’s what I’m all about.
Diversity. Because I’ve learned
that it doesn’t matter who you
love, as long as you eat pizza with
your hands you’re always welcome as
a Real Italian Husband of New York.
NOTE: if we don’t get Mario we can make it Aida Turturro and

the Mayor is trying to diversify by adding women.

BDB QUESTLOVE
The Mayor is at his desk.
RECEPTIONIST (O.S)
Mayor, your son is here to see you,
MAYOR
Send him in.
Questlove enters.
MAYOR
Ms. Jackson, this isn’t my son. It’s my new Chief
of City Music.
QUESTLOVE
No worries, happens all the time.
MAYOR
You said you had an idea to liven up the city. What
is it?
QUESTLOVE
Walk ons.
MAYOR
Walk ons?
QUESTLOVE
Kind of like on the Tonight Show where everyone
has a theme song. We give famous New Yorkers
their own themesongs. Everytime someone walks
into your office their special song plays.
MAYOR
Isn’t that politically dangerous?
QUESTLOVE
Nah, it never ever ever backfires.

MAYOR
Like what would you do for Donald Trump?
Questlove hits his ipod and with each name we hear the
song. We could punch it with a photo.
QUESTLOVE
This one. Hair (Give Me a Head with Hair).
MAYOR
ARod.
QUESTLOVE
Money for Nothing.
MAYOR
Alec Baldwin.
QUESTLOVE
Shout.
MAYOR
Bernie Madoff.
QUESTLOVE
Don’t think he’s gonna be walking anywhere soon.
But one of these. I Fought the Law and the Law
Won or Take the Money and Run
(WE COULD PLAY THIS OUT ONCE YOU GET US OTHER
NAMES TO “TARGET”, WE ADD REPORTERS)
MAYOR
This is great. Brilliant. Would I have my own song
when I speak in public. You know,like Hail to the
Chief.
QUESTLOVE
I was thinking more like this. Taxman.
Questlove leaves.

RECEPTIONIST
Your next appointment is here.
WE HAVE A SURPRISE CELEB ENTER AND A SONG
PLAYS AS THE ENDING
Example—Bloomberg--Short People: Mike Woodson 99
problems; Kathie Lee and Hoda—Bottle of Wine: Al Roker—
Let It Snow; School’s Out.

BDB VIDEO BUMPERS
As bumpers and breaks in between sketches we can

show man in street videos of celebs or real people
commenting on the Mayor and his first 80 days
SAMPLES—IF WE LIKE MORE TO COME
HARRY BELAFONTE
What kind of New York do I want—let me tell you about
it. I want a New York where everyone is treated equally
except if you live on the Upper East Side
AVERAGE PERSON
He’s the greatest mayor we’ve had since Bloomberg
KID
I love him because I can drink big sodas and not worry
about getting arrested
JASON COLLINS
He’s done a great job, I was unemployed before he
became mayor.
Or
I want a mayor who sticks up for the little guy
MAYOR BLOOMBERG
Me too! Miss me?
MARTHA PLIMPTON

I want a New York where they close the George
Washington Bridge 24 hours a day to incoming traffic
from New Jersey
ALAN CUMMING (note—he could play an emcee for us

on stage if free)
Very disappointed. If he believes in diversity where are
all the Scottish appointments?
BIG PAPI
I want a New York where the Mayor can wear a Red Sox
hat to Yankee stadium. Because this is his #$#@@ city
ORDINARY PERSON ON STREET

The best thing I say about him—he’s tall…he’s taller
than Bloomberg
The mayor. Love him. You can really travel fast across
town if you get behind his motorcade.

Good news. Questlove has agreed to a pre-tape (he has a show the night of the Inner Circle). I was
talking to the team about some sort of acknowledgement to the press corps about the challenges
these past few weeks. Here’s Jon Macks’s take. I don’t like the Ebony & Ivory or bouquet bit, but I
do think this is going in the right direction.
Thoughts on things we could swap in?

So John is in Chicago right now and I thought he’d be back by Thursday, but he’s telling me there’s a
chance he will not be back. Can we resched to Friday, or would you rather keep the Thursday 3PM

THIS IS WHAT REAL CHANGE LOOKS LIKE
1. We care about every child.
· New York City only lives up to its promise –

and we only live up to our responsibility -- when every child has a chance at
chasing their dreams.
· Our kids deserve better than the false choice
that they’ve been given for far too long – that their city could either help a select
few of them…or none at all.
2. Status quo thinking is unacceptable.
· For far too many – especially people of color

– our system is failing… FAILING to open the doors of opportunity to our
changing economy.
· We set out to fix our schools in meaningful

way – a way that acknowledges that the status quo is BROKEN and that no
steps our city has taken in the past are adequate to fix it.
3. Charters can help.
· Charters can play an important role by

experimenting and innovating in ways that are more difficult for traditional
public schools.
· I reject the false construct that says charter
school students and students in traditional public schools are trapped in a zero-
sum game… that the success of one must come at the expense of the other.
4. But we need fairness and progress for the entire school system.
· My vision focuses on solutions that address

the root cause of challenges in our schools – with early childhood education

and supervised after-school programs chief among them.
· The keys to a student’s success in school are

putting them on the right path and keeping them there. That’s what these
programs do.
5. What we ACTUALLY did on co-locations.
· Many of you may have heard of my decision

not to approve the colocation of a charter middle school into PS 149 in Harlem.
· We rejected that proposal because had we

permitted it, it would have forced special education students -- kids with serious
disabilities -- out of their school…forcing them to travel further to class every
day.
6. I screwed up in not communicating, to parents and students across our city,

WHY we were doing what we did.
· But I failed in communicating just WHY we

were taking that action. And I accept responsibility for that mistake. It caused
a lot of frustration among concerned folks who were just looking for answers.
· It also distracted from what we’re trying to

do to help EVERY child of our city – securing the funds we need for universal,
full-day Pre-K and after-school for every middle school.
7. Let’s move forward together.
· Charter schools, traditional public schools,

and religious schools all have an important role to play in challenging the status
quo and improving our system.
· The challenge of providing all of our

children with a quality education can and should be approached from multiple
angles, as long as they converge in a place where no one falls through the
cracks.
8. I know Gov. Cuomo is committed to Pre-K for NYC kids, and I thank him for it.
· I know Governor Cuomo is committed to

securing Pre-K for our City’s kids, and I thank him for that.

· But let me be clear. Winning expanded Pre-
K and after-school for our kids will not be a victory for a mayor or a governor –
or any politician.
9. This is YOUR victory.
· This will be YOUR victory.
· Because of your work – community leaders,

activists, everyday New Yorkers who have dedicated so much passion to our
cause – we are on the verge of securing unprecedented funding for our
universal pre-k and afterschool.
· Is it everything I wanted? No. Is there more

– much more to do? Absolutely.
· But though our progress is incomplete, it is

powerful and it is real.
10. This is what real change looks like.
· In my campaign for Mayor, we said that we

were going to make our city one city…where we treat every child as our own.
· There are those who argue that change

must be small and incremental and tinker around the edges… that in politics,
“you just can’t help everyone.”
· Well, ask yourself this. Who is “everyone?”

I think I know. I’m looking around this congregation, and I see a whole lot of
“everyones” out there.
· And, Riverside, we know who “everyone’s

kids” are – they are yours and mine. And if we leave ANY child behind, we cheat
EVERY New Yorker.
· For years, we’ve heard politicians talk about

Pre-K. And for years, it was nothing more than words. Today, it is REAL.
o It means hundreds of millions of

dollars of new, dedicated funding it secures; CHECK
o It means 30,000 CHECK kids and
families who will benefit from it;

o It means we’re sowing the seeds of
success – the young lives that we’ve put on a path of meaningful
contributions that will benefit our city for generations.
11. This is part – but jut one part -- of big systemic changes we need.
· This week, we’ll take one important step

forward towards the big systematic change our school system needs.
· We can’t stop here… we’ll take more crucial
steps in the months and years to come:
· Steps to extend the school day and increase

time on task;
· Steps to do more to increase parental

involvement, and treat parents as the critical stakeholders they are;
· And steps to do more to make sure that we

are empowering good teachers to become great career educators in our public
schools.

kids and families who will benefit from it;
o It means we’re sowing
the seeds of success – the young lives that we’ve put on a
path of meaningful contributions that will benefit our city for
generations.
· This week, we’ll take one

important step forward towards the big systematic change our
school system needs.
· We can’t stop here… we’ll take

more crucial steps in the months and years to come:
· Steps to extend the school day

and increase time on task;
· Steps to do more to increase

parental involvement, and treat parents as the critical stakeholders
they are;
· And steps to do more to make

sure that we are empowering good teachers to become great career
educators in our public schools.

Greeting and Acknowledgements
x Thank you all for being here today.
x Acknowledge: Pastor James Forbes, Len Leach – Riverside Board

Chair, and Hon. David Dinkins
x I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the tireless work of

the women and men in Albany who stand poised to produce a
budget agreement that would deliver positive change for our
City’s kids on an unprecedented scale.
x And I want to offer our continued prayers for the families who lost
loved ones in the East Harlem tragedy two weeks ago. You remain
in our hearts.
x I am so honored to stand before you here at Riverside Church…

So humbled to be speaking before a Congregation that has hosted
some of history’s powerful voices for justice, equality, and
change…. From Martin Luther King Jr., to Nelson Mandela.
x This venue – with its stunning physical grandeur and storied

legacy of progressive activism, leadership, and inclusiveness –
represents an inspiring microcosm of the City we all love.
x New York City only lives up to its promise – and we only live up to
our responsibility -- when every child has a chance at chasing
their dreams.
x Our kids deserve better than the false choice that they’ve been
given for far too long – that their city could either help a select few
of them…or none at all.

x For far too many – especially people of color – our system is
failing… FAILING to open the doors of opportunity to our
changing economy.
x We set out to fix our schools in meaningful way – a way that

acknowledges that the status quo is BROKEN and that no steps
our city has taken in the past are adequate to fix it.
x Charters can play an important role by experimenting and

innovating in ways that are more difficult for traditional public
schools.
x I reject the false construct that says charter school students and
students in traditional public schools are trapped in a zero-sum
game… that the success of one must come at the expense of the
other.
x But we must never forget why charter schools were created in the
first place – to act as laboratories of experimentation in education,
with hope for – and the mission of – bringing best practices to
traditional public schools…so that EVERY child can benefit.
x There are some who see charter schools in a very different way –
as a vehicle for ESCAPING those traditional public schools that are
underperforming.
x Every parent longs for the very best education for their children.
But when so many traditional public schools have fallen short of
that promise, it’s easy to understand why many parents see
charter schools this way. They’re tired of being promised an
excellent public school around the corner – and they’re willing to
go to great lengths to get their child in a school – any school – that
provides them the opportunity to succeed.

x The failure is not theirs. It is a failure of leadership from their
elected officials, who for decades have fallen short in making good
on that promise. And I refuse to be one of those elected officials.
x I don’t see our traditional public schools as something to give up

on…something to escape from. I see them as my responsibility to
lift up.
x Think of traditional public schools for our kids’ education in the

way we think of Medicare for our seniors’ health care. Medicare
works so well because it works for EVERY senior. We want the
highest quality health care for every senior citizen – and we
embrace experiments in the delivery of health care that will make
Medicare even stronger.
x But what we won’t abide is the privatization of Medicare – pitting

the fortunate few seniors against everyone else, and weakening
the entire Medicare system in the process.
x Think for a moment about your own kids. You want the very best
for all of them. If you have a chance to send one child to a great
school, you would rightly jump at the chance. But you wouldn’t do
it if it meant your other kids would be shortchanged by THEIR
schools…if they were left to live their lives with something less
than they have now.
x In short, you wouldn’t choose between your children. And as

mayor, I won’t choose between New York’s children.
x My vision focuses on solutions that address the root cause of

challenges in our schools – with early childhood education and
supervised after-school programs chief among them.
x The keys to students’ success in school are putting them on the

right path and keeping them there. That’s what these programs
do. And that will lift up our ENTIRE education system.

x Many of you have heard of my decision not to approve the

colocation of a charter school in Harlem.
x We rejected that proposal because had we permitted it, it would

have meant fewer seats in the school for special education
students -- kids with serious disabilities.
6. I messed up in not communicating, to parents and students

across our city, WHY we were doing what we did.
x But I failed in communicating just WHY we were taking that

action. And I accept responsibility for that mistake. It caused a
lot of frustration among concerned folks who were just looking
for answers.
x It also distracted from what we’re trying to do to help EVERY child

of our city – securing the funds we need for universal, full-day
Pre-K and after-school for every middle school student.
x Charter schools, traditional public schools, and religious schools

all have an important role to play in challenging the status quo
and improving our system.
x The challenge of providing all of our children with a quality

education can and should be approached from multiple angles, as
long as they converge in a place where no one falls through the
cracks.
8. I know Gov. Cuomo is committed to Pre-K for NYC kids, and I

thank him for it.
x I know Governor Cuomo is committed to securing Pre-K for our

City’s kids, and I thank him for that.

x But let me be clear. Winning expanded Pre-K and after-school for
our kids will not be a victory for a mayor or a governor – or any
politician.
9. This will be YOUR victory.
x Because of your work – community leaders, activists, everyday

New Yorkers who have dedicated so much passion to our cause –
we are on the verge of securing unprecedented funding for our
x Will it be everything I want? No. Will there be more – much more

– to do? Absolutely.
x In my campaign for Mayor, we said that we were going to make

our city one city…where we treat every child as our own.
x There are those who argue that change must be small and
incremental and tinker around the edges… that in politics, “you
just can’t help everyone.”
x Well, ask yourself this. Who is “everyone?” I think I know. I’m

looking around this congregation, and I see a whole lot of
x And, Riverside, we know who “everyone’s kids” are – they are

yours and mine. And if we leave ANY child behind, we fail EVERY
New Yorker.
x For years, we’ve heard politicians talk about full-day Pre-K. And
for years, it was nothing more than words. Today, it is REAL.

o It would mean hundreds of millions of dollars of new,
dedicated funding;
o It would mean tens of thousands of kids and families
benefiting from it;
o And it would mean sowing the seeds of success by putting
young lives on a path to meaningful contributions that will
benefit our City for generations.
11. This is part – but jut one part -- of big systemic changes we
need.
x This week, we stand on the verge of taking an important step

towards the big systematic change our school system needs.
x We can’t stop here… we’ll take more crucial steps in the months
and years to come:
x Steps to give more of our the children the structured time and safe
environment that afterschool programs provide;
x Steps to do more to increase parental involvement, and treat

parents as the critical stakeholders they are;
x And steps to do more to make sure that we are empowering good

teachers to become great career educators in our public schools.
x The great 20th century philosopher and theologian, Paul Tillich,

said this: “The noise of these shallow waters prevents us from
listening to the sounds out of the depth, to the sounds of what
really happens in the ground of our social structure, in the longing
hearts of the masses, and in the struggling minds of those who are
sensitive to historical changes.”
x We New Yorkers – those of us gathered here today, and those who

live in every neighborhood of our city – those with children in
traditional public schools, religious schools, and charter schools –
WE are the ones with longing hearts and struggling minds – WE

are the ones who are striving for something better for the next
generation.
x We will block out the noise of negative TV ads and overheated

rhetoric and political posturing – truly listening to the sounds
from the depth of our hearts…our communities…our
neighborhoods.
x And we will achieve a great victory here in New York City. We will
be ONE City. And we will do it…together.

I know Josh & Sarah (our producer) have been speaking, but we were hoping to get an hour
of time from MBDB & a different hour from FLONYC on Friday to shoot for the UPK NYC
spots… I realize we don’t know if/when we’ll be up yet, but we thought it would be better to

Hi Lindsay,
Hope all is well. Robert is out of town so I'm going to be covering John's schedule for the rest of the week.
I've added this call for 11:30 ET today. Please let me know if it would be helpful for me to send around a
conference call number.
Thanks!

Hi Lindsay-
I think we are going to make Thursday work. We are putting crew together now. Can you let
me know the window of times that we will have with MBDB & FLONYC? Do you know what
room we would have to set up the shot?
Also, would it would probably be good to run this shoot by the mayor's legal team to make
sure that it is ok that we use City Hall. Would you be able to help with that?
Let me know.

to get an hour of time from MBDB & a different hour from FLONYC on Friday
to shoot for the UPK NYC spots… I realize we don’t know if/when we’ll be up

Hi Frankie-
We have one hour reserved with the Mayor, from 5-6p.

We have one hour reserved with the First Lady, from 4-5p.
We will be bringing a bit a equipment – it is small for us, but it is much larger than TV news crews
use. We will have a camera with tripod, prompter, sound equipment, and lights. We are still putting
together the final equipment lists, and I can send you those if needed.
Yes, having access to the parking lot to drop off equipment would be really helpful.
We will need 2 hours to set up. We were planning on arriving at 2p. What is the process for getting
the gear inside? If it will take awhile, we might need to arrive a bit earlier.
I will check to make sure that we have access to protective gear for our lights and tripod.
Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
Couple of questions about the shoot:
• How long are you envisioning on needing the Mayor?

• How long do you envision needing the First Lady?
• How much equipment are you bringing?
• Would you need access to the parking lot to drop-off the equipment?
• How much set up time do you need?
• The room is a historic museum, so if you plan on bringing in heavy equipment, please bring
small floor mats. If you don’t have accessible, we can try to find something here that can be
substitute.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Right now, we are planning to arrive at 9am so that we have time to set up for 11am with the First Lady.
Is there anything that I should know about the load in procedure? Will we be able to use the parking lot to
drop off gear? Is there someone I should call when we arrive?
Please let me know.
Thanks!

Just wondering if there is any update with this? If we are confirmed with the First Lady at 11, we will need
to arrive at 9am to set up. Will we be able to leave our equipment set up for the whole day while we wait
for the window of time with the Mayor?

Hi Frankie-

We will be bringing a bit a equipment – it is small for us, but it is much

larger than TV news crews use. We will have a camera with tripod,
prompter, sound equipment, and lights. We are still putting together
the final equipment lists, and I can send you those if needed.
Yes, having access to the parking lot to drop off equipment would be
really helpful.
We will need 2 hours to set up. We were planning on arriving at 2p.
What is the process for getting the gear inside? If it will take awhile, we
might need to arrive a bit earlier.
I will check to make sure that we have access to protective gear for our
lights and tripod.
Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
? How long are you envisioning on needing the Mayor?

? How long do you envision needing the First Lady?
? How much equipment are you bringing?
? Would you need access to the parking lot to drop-off the
equipment?
? How much set up time do you need?
? The room is a historic museum, so if you plan on bringing in
heavy equipment, please bring small floor mats. If you don’t have

Thanks for the cell number. I appreciate it. My cell is . I will probably call you
as soon as we are outside, if that works for you.
We will be arriving at 9am to load in and set up. And just to clarify (sorry I am from Chicago
if this is common knowledge) where is the entrance to the parking lot? Are there any special
instructions we need to know to access the parking lot?

Hi Sarah,

? Would you need access to the parking lot to drop-off the equipment?
? The room is a historic museum, so if you plan on bringing in heavy equipment,
please bring small floor mats. If you don’t have accessible, we can try to find
something here that can be substitute.
Thanks,
Frankie

For the 100 days speech on Thurs April 10, we highly recommend doing the speech at the Cooper
Union Great Hall. The venue is available to us and will seat a crowd between 650-800 people
depending on RSVPs. We are excited about the historical relevance and think that it is perfect space
wise and accessible for our guests during the day.
We wanted to make sure you were comfortable with the location, if you are not we will send other
options. Otherwise we would like to begin invites on Monday to give us 10 days to build RSVPs for
the speech.
Thanks,
Lindsay

Before, when we didn’t have these five-days, when we asked for a break
because our children were sick, our employers could fire us when he went
back to work. I saw that happened to one of my co-workers. This bill
signed by mayor de Blasio helped all car washers working for small
businesses. Now that we have five days of sick leave they can’t fire us as
they did before. We thank mayor de Blasio for that. He thought about the
need of all us, when we need time to take care for our love ones. There is
no more discrimination as there was before.

Want to get everyone on the same chain.
1. We should not do an acknowledgment card for him to read tomorrow but instead,

Jon and Adam should work the following into the beginning of the remarks.:
- thank president Barucha (with the phonetics and correct spelling) and thank the
school for hosting
- Thank JJA for the introductory remarks
- thank FLONYC and maybe Chiara and Dante
- thank "all elected officials, commissioners, city officials and friends" who came today.
Peter, Laura, Emma - please let us know if this is correct.
2. Peter, Emma - who do you think should acknowledge the elected officials: JJA or
VOG?
3. Frankie, Gabe and Dabash - Jessica and I will email u separately abt the "elected

Restoring the Progressive City
Cooper Union
Thursday, April 10th
Draft 8 – 4/9/14 – 11:45PM
x I want to thank Jennifer Jones Alexander for that wonderful introduction
x As I mark my 100th day in office, it’s only appropriate that she is here with
me.
o Jennifer was with us from the beginning.
o No one understood more fully the importance of our work, no one

was more critical to getting us here today.
o We owe her our gratitude for all she’s done to help build this
administration.
x There’s someone else I’m very happy to have with us today, who was
REALLY here from the beginning – and before.
x The love of my life, New York’s remarkable First Lady, Chirlane McCray.
x [Thank Dante and Chiara if they are attending].
x Thank you to all the elected officials, commissioners, city officials and
friends who are here with us this afternoon.
x We come together today with heavy hearts over the loss of NYPD Officer
Dennis Guerra, a married father of four, just 38 years old, who gave his life
heroically, working to save the lives of others in a burning building.
x I ask that we keep Officer Rosa Rodriguez, who sustained serious injuries in
the same incident, in our thoughts and prayers.
x Officers Guerra and Rodriguez represent the most selfless and noble
traditions of our city. And they have our deep appreciation and gratitude.
x I’d like to ask that we begin with a moment of silence to honor and
remember Officer Guerra.
x I want to thank Bharucha– Ba-ru-Cha, and the faculty, the workers and the
students of Cooper Union.

x It’s an honor to be here at one of the city’s greatest educational institutions,
renowned for over a centaury and a half for combining an inclusive spirit
with the highest academic standards.
x I’m humbled to speak in a place where so many Presidents, scientists and

artists have addressed passionate souls and curious minds over generations.
x We find ourselves in a perfect setting to discuss all that our city is capable of
when we’re at our very best.
x As Abraham Lincoln said right here at Cooper Union “let us have faith that
right makes might.”
[WHO WE ARE]
When this Administration was sworn into office 100 days ago, there were those who
weren’t sure what to make of us – not just of me, but of all of you who helped me to
get here.
x So let me tell you what we’re about
x This Administration is a product of movement politics.
x But the movement that we’re a part of doesn’t define the boundaries of its
ranks through exclusivity.
x Rather, it’s a movement of people who share a vision….
x People in every borough, of every background, and every income bracket,

who believe in our city’s progressive traditions.
x In the last hundred days, we’ve been inspired by the support of, working
parents and retirees, of schoolteachers and business leaders.
x What we share is a vision of a progressive city:

o A city that is run with the highest standards of effectiveness and
professionalism
o That respects everyone’s dignity
o That honors New York’s proud tradition of inclusion and equality
x We welcome every New Yorker because we believe that we are at our best
when EVERYONE gets a shot at fulfilling their dreams.
x Some weren’t quite sure what to make of our progressive agenda to reduce
inequality and restore opportunity. But now they’re starting to see.

x Because politics of the sort that we believe in doesn’t measure success by
poll numbers, but by ACTION.
x We believe in grassroots, people-powered government.
x We judge success on results – on making a difference in the lives of real

people.
[WHY WE’RE HERE]
The vision we are advancing isn’t new to our city – progressiveness, opportunity,
inclusion, justice… these values are coded in New York’s DNA.
x New York has always been the center of progressive America:

o This is the city where courageous workers were pioneers in the union
movement;
o Where the NAACP was formed and where the Stonewall protests
launched the LGBT rights movement;
o The city of the Statue of Liberty… the symbol of open doors and
unmatched opportunity for people from every corner of the globe.
x We weren’t sent to City Hall to change New York’s character; you sent us
here to restore New York’s proud legacy as the progressive city...
x …To keep the sacred promise of our city… that everyone has a place…
that everyone gets a voice.
x Our inequality crisis – the Tale of Two Cities we’ve been living for years
threatens who we are, and what kind of city we will be.
x Restoring a progressive New York… That is our vision… It’s what’s driven
the steps we take, and what drives ones we will take, together.
x And in our first 100 days we’ve already taken great strides.

[WHAT A PROGRESSIVE CITY MEANS]
[Restoring a Progressive City means governing New York with the highest
standards of effectiveness]
In a progressive city, the government must perform at the highest level of

effectiveness and professionalism. It sounds simple, but it’s not.
x If New Yorkers can’t be confident their city will provide basic services,
the rest of our vision for a progressive city will mean very little.
x Keeping New Yorkers safe and providing the vital services New Yorkers
need was, is, and will always be Job One.
We’ve never lost sight of this first job – no matter how many challenges we’ve faced.
x The snowiest January and February in the city’s recorded history

(Sanitation Workers did excellent job.)
x East Harlem tragedy. (Firefighters and other first responders…

Neighbors comforting neighbors as we mourn.)
x Epidemic of pedestrian deaths. (Plan Zero in place & moving forward).
In the first quarter of this year, the number of traffic deaths is down 26% and the
number injured is down 8%, compared to the first quarter of last year.
On public safety, Commissioner Bratton and the NYPD have built stronger
relationships between police and communities that are keeping crime low.
I’m gratified to say that, thanks to the hard work of the men and women of the
NYPD, crime rates have been pointing in the right direction:
x Murders are down 9.5% from (in the first quarter of this year compared
to the first quarter of last year)
x Shootings are down 3.4%
x Robberies are down 7.2%
x And overall crime is down.
x We’ve produced a preliminary budget that is fiscally responsible and

balanced to keep the city on solid footing.

x DOT crews have filled 284,000 potholes so far this year - compared to
112,000 at the same time last year.
[Restoring a Progressive City means taking dead aim at income inequality]
The kind of governmental excellence I’ve talked about so far is critical to restoring
New York as the progressive city it’s meant to be, but it is by no means enough.
In a progressive city, we recognize that growing inequality is the crisis of our time,
and it contradicts everything we know is good about this city.
x Throughout its history, New York has been the global center of opportunity
and progress, commerce and culture.
x Our tiny geographic confines have produced countless leaders and

innovators from finance to theater to education.
x The place where drive, creativity and above all hard work have been
rewarded.
x But we have to fight to keep it that way.
x New York has to be a place where people who wake up every day and give it
everything they’ve got, get what they deserve:
o A decent place to live

o The income to support a family
o A better future for their children
x We have to remember that the best and brightest are born in every
neighborhood -- a just society allows them to reach their potential.
x But we’re not there yet and if can’t get there, we risk losing that which makes
New York New York.
[A Progressive City is one where there’s equal educational opportunity for all]
In a progressive city, there’s equal educational opportunity for every child.
It means showing our children that they matter, so that they can live up to their
potential and make their contributions to the city we all love.

So we acted:
x Secured the most state funding for Pre-K to NYC in New York State
history.
x Tens of thousands more kids will have Pre-K slots.
o The research is clear: pre-k is one of the best things we can do to

launch kids on a successful educational career… and a successful life.
o Studies show that children involved in high quality pre-k programs

are better prepared to begin school than ones who are not:
o They have better vocabularies and math skills.
o They are less likely to become delinquent, more likely to be employed.
o I’ve seen the results myself.
o As I was reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” to a pre-k class at P.S.

239 in Ridgewood Queens, one of the students raised his hand to tell
his classmates and me a new word he had learned.
o “Metamorphosis!” he said proudly. This was a FOUR YEAR OLD.
x Thousands of students will have access to after-school programs that

keep them safe and learning – so their parents can work with less worry.
o I recently visited an afterschool program at MS 331 in the Morris

Heights neighborhood of the Bronx with Chancellor Farina.
o The program offered everything from homework help to arts and

cultural enrichment.
o I saw a group of girls dancing… learning, coming into their own,

sparking one another’s creativity, all in a safe environment.
x These are the sorts of opportunities that we want EVERY child to have in
a progressive city.

[A Progressive City is one where the justice systems treats everyone equally]
In a progressive city, aggressive crime fighting and honoring the dignity of all New
Yorkers aren’t mutually exclusive -- they go hand-in-hand.
x We’ve begun a new era in relations between the NYPD and New Yorkers.
x It wasn’t that long ago that Nicolas Peart, a young man from Harlem,
wrote an op-ed in the New York Times describing how he’d been stopped
and frisked five different times and the heavy toll that it took on him.
x But Nicolas took action.
x He filed a civil rights lawsuit, one that we recently settled, that has
fundamentally changed police practices in the city.
x He was a young man whose value was discounted, who was treated as a
problem, when in fact, he was just the sort of person we need more of
today.
x He responded to injustice with maturity, with intelligence and with

tenacity.
x He worked through the system, and he showed that the system could
work.
x Now we as a city celebrate a young man that an unjust system once

shunned.
x In refusing to be a victim – he became a hero.
x Thanks to Nicolas and so many others who spoke out, we’ve now ended
the abuses of the stop and frisk era.
x Just this week, I addressed a new class of NYPD cadets.
x It was an inspiration to look out on them – young men and women of

every background from every corner of the city who worked hard and
went through vigorous training to get where they were that day.
x And they were all there for the same reasons:
o They believe in public service

o They believe in New York City
o And they want to make this a safer, better place for all of us to live.

x It was also wonderful to realize that this was the first class graduating
into a new era of policing in this city
x An era in which a young man of color can be a bit more confident that he
can walk to the corner store without being hassled for no reason.
x This is the kind of community-police relations we want to see in a

progressive city.
[In a progressive city, we respect the dignity of workers who fall ill]
In a progressive city, illness doesn’t mean lost wages or lost jobs.
x Paid Sick Leave for 500,000 families. Hadn’t even gotten a vote in the
council for three years.
x Paid sick leave doesn’t just protect workers, it builds great companies:
o I signed this law at Steve’s Ice Cream in Greenpoint.
o The owner– David Stein – explained that paid sick leave helped retain
talented workers, which he said was essential to creating the best
possible product.
o Having met with his staff and tasted his ice cream, I couldn’t agree
with him more.
[In a progressive city, we make affordable housing a priority]
In a progressive city, people can afford to live and to stay in the neighborhoods they
love.
x We’ve begun following through on our commitment to building or

restoring 200,000 units of affordable housing that the city desperately
needs.
o The impact of this will be enormous, 200,000 units means homes for
400,000 or more individuals.
o These projects are creating jobs in the communities where they are
located.

o We’re also building in job provisions that ensure that construction
and other work will be available for residents of the communities.
o And we’re making sure that many of these apartments are available at
the lower end of the income scale.
x Revised deals with developers to provide more affordable housing

(Domino Sugar).
o Adds 110,000 square feet of new affordable housing.
o A grand total of 700 new units of affordable housing, 32% of the total.
x Hudson Yards
o 139 unit building on West 29th Street will be entirely affordable

housing – original plan called for 80% market rate.
o These units will be permanently affordable.
o The project will also create over 1,600 jobs that we’ve ensured will
pay a living wage, because we know what a difference that makes.
x In East New York we recently broke ground on an affordable housing

development provide 278 units of affordable housing.
x It also means good jobs for local workers and space that community
groups in East New York so desperately need.
x These projects show that there’s room for creativity in how we develop
affordable housing.
x Well-executed affordable housing program, can create not only new

housing, but new jobs and stronger communities.

[What Our Progress Means – The Stories]
You’ve heard me talk about the steps we’ve taken and why. Now, I’d like you to hear
from some New Yorkers who have seen the progressive city at work, and who’ll tell
you what it means for their lives.
x [VIDEOS PLAY]
x Some of these New Yorkers are here today:
o Kassim Hinds – t
o Bishop Eric D. Garnes –
o Juan Carlos Rivera – s
o Elizabeth Caquias –
x Their stories are just a few powerful examples of what real change
means… And there’s much more to come.
[WHAT LIES AHEAD]
x So we’ve made our beginning.
x Plato wrote: “The beginning is the most important part of any work… for
that is the time at which the character is being formed.”
x That is true of our first hundred days.
x The themes we’ve struck of government effectiveness, equality, and

inclusion are the same ones that will guide our work going forward –
taking on some of the most important issues facing the city:
1. EDUCATION – We have much more to do to ensure that

every child in New York gets the quality education they
deserve.
x A few weeks ago, I spoke at Riverside Church and laid out a vision for
improving neighborhood schools across the city. That means:
o Increase parental involvement

o Quality teacher retention
In 2008 15% of mid-career teachers freely resigned.
By 2013, that number had jumped to 43%.
o Reduce class size
o No more teaching to the test
o Improving facilities
we’re working to sharply reduce the number of classroom
trailers.
10

o Making sure we’re not choosing among our children – that traditional
public schools, charter schools, and religious schools aren’t pitted
against each other and help each other succeed.
2. PUBLIC HOUSING –We must sustain and improve our

public housing system, which provides homes to nearly
half a million New Yorkers.
x We are working to substantially reduce the backlog of repairs and work

on new improvements that will ensure these are the kind of homes that
New York families deserve.
x Pressing forward on retrofitting which promises both to improve the

environment and provide much-needed jobs for NYCHA residents.
3. MUNICIPAL ID -- We are working to provide a new

municipal ID that will open doors for and simplify the lives
of half a million undocumented and homeless New
Yorkers.
x We are making plans across agencies to ensure that New Yorkers will
begin receiving Municipal ID cards by the end of the year.
4. COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE - We’re working to bring

community based health care to hundreds of thousands
of residents who need access to good health care in their
neighborhoods.
o We showed with LICH that there are solutions that can keep facilities
open in neighborhoods where they are needed.
And last week, a deal was reached that will keep LICH
operating and providing needed care.
This can and should serve as a model for keeping community
hospitals open.
o We must keep working on long-term health care solutions for every

New Yorker in every neighborhood.
o To that end, we have approached the state seeking partnership to

enact our plan for a “Brooklyn Health Authority,” an idea we hope will
be a model for similar programs in other boroughs.
o It would mean better local healthcare in underserved neighborhoods,

something we’ll work to replicate across the city.
11

5. SANDY RECOVERY – we’re following through on our
commitment to rebuild every home destroyed by
Superstorm Sandy.
o We’ve redirected 100 million dollars in federal to rebuilding homes,

regardless of the income of their residents.
o We’re moving 35 staff members to HRO, increasing the staff a third.
o Eliminate permit and procedural bottlenecks that are slowing repairs

and rebuilds; for example, clearing outstanding DOB permits that
have prevented some Sandy rebuilds and repairs from moving
forward.
o We owe it to great neighborhoods across this city to finally get this job
done.
Reflection on the Politics of Change
As we move forward, we must be mindful of the levers of change that we’ll need to
keep utilizing to restore to New York as a progressive city.
Politics helps define the world we make for ourselves, for better or worse:
x Robert F. Kennedy said: Everything that makes man's life worthwhile —

family, work, education, a place to rear one's children and a place to rest
one's head — all this depends on the decisions of government…
Therefore… [our]essential humanity … can be protected and preserved
only where government must answer — not just to the wealthy, not just
to those of a particular religion, or a particular race, but to ALL its people.
x At its best, politics can empower people – like it did last year.
x The last election sent a clear message – we wanted policies that worked
for every neighborhood and every New Yorker.
x These past three months, as we’ve advanced our vision for a progressive
city, powerful interests have fought us at every turn.
x Some people still don’t understand where the REAL power resides. But
hurdles exist to be cleared, and together we’ve cleared some big ones.
x Because grassroots politics understands that people are almost always

ahead of the politicians.
12

x Parents have been pushing for expanded Pre-K and after-school
programs for decades.
x Workers have been calling for paid sick leave for years.
x New Yorkers – particularly people of color – have protested the abuses of

stop-and-frisk for years – most poignantly on Father’s Day 2012, with a
silent march down 5th Ave.
x Grassroots politics has harnessed their energy to make change.
x It gives everyone a voice.
x What we’ve learned from the action of the past 100 days should give hope
and strength and a renewed sense of purpose going forward.
[THE CLOSING]
x James Russell Lowell, a 19th century poet and fierce abolitionist once
wrote: “Fate loves the fearless.”
x Seizing big opportunities requires heart and guts.
x So it makes sense that when provided with real opportunity, New Yorkers
can achieve like no other people.
x As I have said, our goal has always been to restore New York to the great
progressive city it has been and will be again.
x And thanks to you, we’ve made real and meaningful progress towards
that goal during these first 100 days:
x Because of the progress we’ve made, that four-year-old boy from

Ridgewood learning scientific concepts in pre-k might someday be a life-
saving surgeon in one of our neighborhood hospitals.
x Because of the progress we’ve made, that middle school girl from Morris
Heights practicing dance routines with her friends in an afterschool
program may someday enthrall and inspire audiences at Lincoln Center…
or in a community theater.
13

x Because of the progress we’ve made, a young woman from St. George
who’ll one day change the lives of our grandchildren as a great teacher
will be put on a path to success with a small investment that will be
repaid in profound ways.
x This is what our future looks like in a progressive city.
x And YOU have shown the world that we won’t bend under the crisis of
our time….
x That we will ACT.
x Now more than ever, we need your help.
x We need you to see that families sign their children up for expanded pre-
k and afterschool programs.
x We need you to keep leading the way and to hold me – and every elected
official – accountable.
x We need your help to keep the momentum that we’ve gained these past
100 days.
x We have so much more to do, but we’ve seen already what we can
accomplish working together.
x And if you keep up your energy, your focus, your drive, I have no doubt
that together we will build once again a progressive city here in New
York.

Ultimately defer to Peter on whether he should mention his children. He did not mention them at

as:
Peter and the Mayor should make the decision to include or not include.
And yes, KPdL rivals any name or acronym that I have ever come across.

Beating dead horse -- hudson yards -- nadler and co really have said repeatedly that
this exact concession was negotiated two years ago -- we're going to step in it -- shd
just do living wage piece on it.

Restoring the Progressive City
Cooper Union
Thursday, April 10th
Draft 12 – 4/10/14 – 10:30AM
x I want to thank Jennifer Jones Austin for that

wonderful introduction.
x As I mark my 100th day in office, it’s only

appropriate that she is here with me.
o Jennifer was with us from the beginning.
o No one understood more fully the importance

of our work, no one was more critical to
getting us here today.
o We owe her our gratitude for all she’s done to

help build this administration.

x And I’d also like to thank Katherine Ponce de Leon
for leading us so beautifully in the Pledge of
Allegiance.
x There’s someone else I’m very happy to have with

us today, who was REALLY here from the
beginning – and before.
x The love of my life, New York’s remarkable First

Lady, Chirlane McCray.
x Thank you to all the elected officials,

commissioners, city officials and friends who are
here with us this afternoon.

x We come together today with heavy hearts over
the loss of NYPD Officer Dennis Guerra, a married
father of four, just 38 years old, who gave his life
heroically, working to save the lives of others in a
burning building.
x I ask that we keep Officer Rosa Rodriguez, who

sustained serious injuries in the same incident, in
our thoughts and prayers.
x Officers Guerra and Rodriguez represent the most

selfless and noble traditions of our city. And they
have our deep appreciation and gratitude.
x I’d like to ask that we begin with a moment of

silence to honor and remember Officer Guerra.

x I want to thank President Bharucha– Ba-ru-Cha,
and the faculty, the workers and the students of
Cooper Union.
x It’s an honor to be here at one of the city’s greatest

educational institutions, renowned for over a
centaury and a half for combining an inclusive
spirit with the highest academic standards.
x I’m humbled to speak in a place where so many

Presidents, scientists and artists have addressed
passionate souls and curious minds over
generations.
x We find ourselves in a perfect setting to discuss all

that our city is capable of when we’re at our very
best.

x As Abraham Lincoln said right here at Cooper
Union “let us have faith that right makes might.”
[WHO WE ARE]
When this Administration was sworn into office 100

days ago, there were those who weren’t sure what to
make of us – not just of me, but of all of you who helped
me to get here.
x So let me tell you what we’re about
x This Administration is a product of movement

politics.

x But the movement that we’re a part of doesn’t
define the boundaries of its ranks through
exclusivity.
x Rather, it’s a movement of people who share a

vision….
x People in every borough, of every background, and

every income bracket, who believe in our city’s
progressive traditions.
x In the last hundred days, we’ve been inspired by

the support of, working parents and retirees, of
schoolteachers and business leaders.

x What we share is a vision of a progressive city:
o A city that is run with the highest standards of

effectiveness and professionalism
o That respects everyone’s dignity
o That honors New York’s proud tradition of

inclusion and equality
x We welcome every New Yorker because we

believe that we are at our best when EVERYONE
gets a shot at fulfilling their dreams.
x Some weren’t quite sure what to make of our

progressive agenda to reduce inequality and
restore opportunity. But now they’re starting to
see.

x Because politics of the sort that we believe in
doesn’t measure success by poll numbers, but by
ACTION.
x We believe in grassroots, people-powered

government.
x We judge success on results – on making a

difference in the lives of real people.
[WHY WE’RE HERE]
The vision we are advancing isn’t new to our city –

progressiveness, opportunity, inclusion, justice… these
values are coded in New York’s DNA.

x New York has always been the center of
progressive America:
o This is the city where courageous workers

were pioneers in the union movement;
o Where the NAACP was formed and where the

Stonewall protests launched the LGBT rights
movement;
o The city of the Statue of Liberty… the symbol

of open doors and unmatched opportunity for
people from every corner of the globe.
x We weren’t sent to City Hall to change New

York’s character; you sent us here to restore
New York’s proud legacy as the progressive city...

x …To keep the sacred promise of our city… that
everyone has a place… that everyone gets a
voice.
x Our inequality crisis – the Tale of Two Cities

we’ve been living for years threatens who we
are, and what kind of city we will be.
x Restoring a progressive New York… That is our

vision… It’s what’s driven the steps we take, and
what drives ones we will take, together.
x And in our first 100 days we’ve already taken

great strides.
10

[WHAT A PROGRESSIVE CITY MEANS]
[Restoring a Progressive City means governing New

York with the highest standards of effectiveness]
In a progressive city, the government must perform at

the highest level of effectiveness and professionalism. It
sounds simple, but it’s not.
x If New Yorkers can’t be confident their city will

provide basic services, the rest of our vision for a
progressive city will mean very little.
x Keeping New Yorkers safe and providing the

vital services New Yorkers need was, is, and will
always be Job One.
11

We’ve never lost sight of this first job – no matter how
many challenges we’ve faced.
x One of the snowiest winters in the city’s

recorded history (Sanitation Workers did
excellent job.)
x East Harlem tragedy. (Firefighters and other

first responders… Neighbors comforting
neighbors as we mourn.)
x Epidemic of pedestrian deaths. (Vision Zero in

place & moving forward).
12

In the first quarter of this year, the number of traffic
deaths is down 26% and the number injured is down
8%, compared to the first quarter of last year.
On public safety, Commissioner Bratton and the NYPD

have built stronger relationships between police and
communities that are keeping crime low.
I’m gratified to say that, thanks to the hard work of the

men and women of the NYPD, crime rates have been
pointing in the right direction:
x Murders are down 9.5% from (in the first

quarter of this year compared to the first quarter
of last year)
13

x Shootings are down 3.4%
x Robberies are down 7.2%
x And overall crime is down.
x We’ve produced a preliminary budget that is

fiscally responsible, progressive, and transparent --
to keep the city on solid footing.
x DOT crews have filled nearly 289,000 potholes so

far this year - compared to 115,500 at the same
time last year.
14

[Restoring a Progressive City means taking dead
aim at income inequality]
The kind of governmental excellence I’ve talked about

so far is critical to restoring New York as the
progressive city it’s meant to be, but it is by no means
enough.
In a progressive city, we recognize that growing

inequality is the crisis of our time, and it contradicts
everything we know is good about this city.
x Throughout its history, New York has been the

global center of opportunity and progress,
commerce and culture.
15

x Our tiny geographic confines have produced
countless leaders and innovators from finance to
theater to education.
x The place where drive, creativity and above all

hard work have been rewarded.
x But we have to fight to keep it that way.
16

x New York has to be a place where people who
wake up every day and give it everything they’ve
got, get what they deserve:
o A decent place to live
o The income to support a family
o A better future for their children
x We have to remember that the best and brightest

are born in every neighborhood -- a just society
allows them to reach their potential.
x But we’re not there yet and if can’t get there, we

risk losing that which makes New York New York.
17

[A Progressive City is one where there’s equal
educational opportunity for all]
In a progressive city, there’s equal educational

opportunity for every child.
It means showing our children that they matter, so that

they can live up to their potential and make their
contributions to the city we all love.
So we acted:
x Secured the most state funding for Pre-K to NYC

in New York State history.
18

x Tens of thousands more kids will have Pre-K
slots.
o The research is clear: pre-k is one of the best

things we can do to launch kids on a successful
educational career… and a successful life.
o Studies show that children involved in high

quality pre-k programs are better prepared to
begin school than ones who are not:
o They have better vocabularies and math skills.
o They are less likely to become delinquent,

more likely to be employed.
19

o I’ve seen the results myself.
o As I was reading “The Very Hungry

Caterpillar” to a pre-k class at P.S. 239 in
Ridgewood Queens, one of the students raised
his hand to tell his classmates and me a new
word he had learned.
o “Metamorphosis!” he said proudly. This was a

FOUR YEAR OLD.
20

x Thousands of students will have access to after-
school programs that keep them safe and
learning – so their parents can work with less
worry.
o I recently visited an afterschool program at MS

331 in the Morris Heights neighborhood of the
Bronx with Chancellor Farina.
o The program offered everything from

homework help to arts and cultural
enrichment.
o I saw a group of girls dancing… learning,

coming into their own, sparking one another’s
creativity, all in a safe environment.
21

x These are the sorts of opportunities that we
want EVERY child to have in a progressive city.
[A Progressive City is one where the justice systems

treats everyone equally]
In a progressive city, aggressive crime fighting and

honoring the dignity of all New Yorkers aren’t mutually
exclusive -- they go hand-in-hand.
x We’ve begun a new era in relations between the

NYPD and the communities they serve.
22

x It wasn’t that long ago that Nicolas Peart, a
young man from Harlem, wrote an op-ed in the
New York Times describing how he’d been
stopped and frisked five different times and the
heavy toll that it took on him.
x But Nicolas took action.
x He filed a civil rights lawsuit, one that we

recently settled, that has fundamentally changed
police practices in the city.
x He was a young man whose value was

discounted, who was treated as a problem, when
in fact, he was just the sort of person we need
more of today.
23

x He responded to injustice with maturity, with
intelligence and with tenacity.
x He worked through the system, and he showed

that the system could work.
x Now we as a city celebrate a young man that an

unjust system once shunned.
x In refusing to be a victim – he became a hero.
x Thanks to Nicolas and so many others who spoke

out, we’ve now ended the abuses of the stop and
frisk era.
24

x Just this week, I addressed a new class of NYPD
cadets.
x It was an inspiration to look out on them – young

men and women of every background from
every corner of the city who worked hard and
went through vigorous training to get where
they were that day.
x And they were all there for the same reasons:
o They believe in public service
o They believe in New York City
o And they want to make this a safer, better

place for all of us to live.
25

x It was also wonderful to realize that this was the
first class graduating into a new era of policing in
this city
x An era in which a young man of color can be a bit

more confident that he can walk to the corner
store without being hassled for no reason.
x This is the kind of community-police relations

we want to see in a progressive city.
26

[In a progressive city, we respect the dignity of
workers who fall ill]
In a progressive city, illness doesn’t mean lost wages or

lost jobs.
x Paid Sick Leave for 500,000 families. Hadn’t even

gotten a vote in the council for three years.
x Paid sick leave doesn’t just protect workers, it

builds great companies:
o I signed this law at Steve’s Ice Cream in

Greenpoint.
27

o The owner– David Stein – explained that paid
sick leave helped retain talented workers,
which he said was essential to creating the
best possible product.
o Having met with his staff and tasted his ice

cream, I couldn’t agree with him more.
[In a progressive city, we make affordable housing a

priority]
In a progressive city, people can afford to live and to

stay in the neighborhoods they love.
28

x We’ve begun following through on our
commitment to building or restoring 200,000
units of affordable housing that the city
desperately needs.
o The impact of this will be enormous, 200,000

units means homes for 400,000 or more
individuals.
o These projects are creating jobs in the

communities where they are located.
o We’re also building in job provisions that

ensure that construction and other work will
be available for residents of the communities.
29

o And we’re making sure that many of these
apartments are available at the lower end of
the income scale.
x Revised deals with developers to provide more

new permanent affordable housing (Domino
Sugar).
o Our new framework for Domino Sugar would

add 110,000 square feet of new affordable
housing.
o It would mean a grand total of about 700 new

units of permanent affordable housing, 32% of
the total.
30

x Hudson Yards
o Accelerating and assuring development of

permanent affordable housing in connection
with Hudson Yards.
o The project will also create over 1,600

jobs that we’ve ensured will pay a living
wage. We know what a difference living wage
makes, and that’s why we’ll continue our
efforts to promote living wage jobs across the
city.
x In East New York we recently broke ground on

an affordable housing development to provide
278 units of affordable housing.
31

x It also means good jobs for local workers and
space that community groups in East New York
so desperately need.
x These projects show that there’s room for

creativity in how we develop affordable housing.
o Well-executed affordable housing program,

can create not only new housing, but new jobs
and stronger communities.
32

[What Our Progress Means – The Stories]
You’ve heard me talk about the steps we’ve taken and

why. Now, I’d like you to hear from some New Yorkers
who have seen the progressive city at work, and who’ll
tell you what it means for their lives.
x [VIDEOS PLAY]
33

x Some of these New Yorkers are here today:
o Kassim Hinds –
o Bishop Eric D. Garnes –
o Juan Carlos Rivera – s
o Elizabeth Caquias –
x Their stories are just a few powerful examples of

what real change means… And there’s much
more to come.
34

[WHAT LIES AHEAD]
x So we’ve made our beginning.
x Plato wrote: “The beginning is the most

important part of any work… for that is the time
at which the character is being formed.”
x That is true of our first hundred days.
x The themes we’ve struck of government

effectiveness, equality, and inclusion are the
same ones that will guide our work going
forward – taking on some of the most important
issues facing the city:
35

1. EDUCATION – We have much more to
do to ensure that every child in New
York gets the quality education they
deserve.
x A few weeks ago, I spoke at Riverside Church and

laid out a vision for improving neighborhood
schools across the city. That means:
o Increase parental involvement
o Quality teacher retention
In 2008 15% of mid-career teachers

freely resigned.
By 2013, that number had jumped to

43%.
36

o Reduce class size
o No more teaching to the test
We are pushing to change grade

promotion standards so students are not
held back simply because of standardized
test scores, but rather are evaluated in a
more comprehensive way.
o Improving facilities
we’re working to sharply reduce the

number of classroom trailers.
o Making sure we’re not choosing among our

children – that traditional public schools,
charter schools, and religious schools aren’t
pitted against each other and help each other
succeed.
37

2. PUBLIC HOUSING –We must sustain
and improve our public housing
system, which provides homes to
nearly half a million New Yorkers.
x We are working to substantially reduce the

backlog of repairs and work on new
improvements that will ensure these are the
kind of homes that New York families deserve.
x Pressing forward on retrofitting which promises

both to improve the environment and provide
much-needed jobs for NYCHA residents.
38

3. MUNICIPAL ID -- We are working to
provide a new municipal ID that will
open doors for and simplify the lives of
half a million undocumented and
homeless New Yorkers.
x We are making plans across agencies to ensure

that New Yorkers will begin receiving Municipal
ID cards by the end of the year.
4. COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE - We’re

working to bring community based
health care to hundreds of thousands
of residents who need access to good
health care in their neighborhoods.
39

o We showed with LICH that there are solutions
that can keep facilities open in neighborhoods
where they are needed.
And last week, a deal was reached that

will keep LICH operating and providing
needed care.
This can and should serve as a model for

keeping health care available in
communities.
o We must keep working on long-term health

care solutions for every New Yorker in every
neighborhood.
40

o To that end, we will approach the state
seeking partnership to enact our plan for a
“Brooklyn Health Authority,” an idea that
could serve as a model for similar programs in
other parts of the city.
o It would mean better local healthcare in

underserved neighborhoods, something we’ll
work to replicate across the city.
5. SANDY RECOVERY – we’re following

through on our commitment to rebuild
every home destroyed by Superstorm
Sandy.
41

o Eliminating permit and red tape bottlenecks to
make sure that people can use the funds they
are entitled to.
As a result, new construction underway,

and more checks are going out.
o We’ve redirected 100 million dollars in federal

funding to rebuilding homes, regardless of the
income of their residents.
o Beefing up the staff of our Sandy rebuilding

operation to ensure that that funds get where
they need to go.
o We owe it to great neighborhoods across this

city to finally get this job done.
42

Reflection on the Politics of Change
As we move forward, we must be mindful of the levers

of change that we’ll need to keep utilizing to restore to
New York as a progressive city.
43

Politics helps define the world we make for ourselves,
for better or worse:
x Robert F. Kennedy said: Everything that makes

man's life worthwhile — family, work, education,
a place to rear one's children and a place to rest
one's head — all this depends on the decisions of
government… Therefore… [our]essential
humanity … can be protected and preserved only
where government must answer — not just to
the wealthy, not just to those of a particular
religion, or a particular race, but to ALL its
people.
44

x At its best, politics can empower people – like it
did last year.
x The last election sent a clear message – we

wanted policies that worked for every
neighborhood and every New Yorker.
x These 100 days, as we’ve advanced our vision for

a progressive city – of a broadly shared
prosperity – there has been resistance from
powerful interests with a steak in preserving the
status quo. That was to be expected.
x But people still don’t understand where the

REAL power resides. But hurdles exist to be
cleared, and together we’ve cleared some big
ones.
45

x Because grassroots politics understands that
people are almost always ahead of the
politicians.
x Parents have been pushing for expanded Pre-K

and after-school programs for decades.
x Workers have been calling for paid sick leave for

years.
x New Yorkers – particularly people of color –

have protested the abuses of stop-and-frisk for
years – most poignantly on Father’s Day 2012,
with a silent march down 5th Ave.
46

x Grassroots politics has harnessed their energy to
make change.
x It gives everyone a voice.
x What we’ve learned from the action of the past

100 days should give hope and strength and a
renewed sense of purpose going forward.
[THE CLOSING]
x James Russell Lowell, a 19th century poet and

fierce abolitionist once wrote: “Fate loves the
fearless.”
47

x Seizing big opportunities requires heart and
guts.
x So it makes sense that when provided with real

opportunity, New Yorkers can achieve like no
other people.
x As I have said, our goal has always been to

restore New York to the great progressive city it
has been and will be again.
x And thanks to you, we’ve made real and

meaningful progress towards that goal during
these first 100 days:
48

x Because of the progress we’ve made, that four-
year-old boy from Ridgewood learning scientific
concepts in pre-k might someday be a life-saving
surgeon in one of our neighborhood hospitals.
x Because of the progress we’ve made, that middle

school girl from Morris Heights practicing dance
routines with her friends in an afterschool
program may someday enthrall and inspire
audiences at Lincoln Center… or in a community
theater.
x Because of the progress we’ve made, a young

woman from St. George who’ll one day change
the lives of our grandchildren as a great teacher
will be put on a path to success with a small
investment that will be repaid in profound ways.
49

x This is what our future looks like in a
progressive city.
x And YOU have shown the world that we won’t

bend under the crisis of our time….
x That we will ACT.
x Now more than ever, we need your help.
x We need you to see that families sign their

children up for expanded pre-k and afterschool
programs.
50

x We need you to keep leading the way and to hold
me – and every elected official – accountable.
x We need your help to keep the momentum that

we’ve gained these past 100 days.
x We have so much more to do, but we’ve seen

already what we can accomplish working
together.
x And if you keep up your energy, your focus, your

drive, I have no doubt that together we will build
once again a progressive city here in New York.

Hi All,
Bill asked me to convene the 5 of you with Chirlane and I for a meeting/call to review
and zero in on the priorities we will pursue in regard to public private partnerships.
I’ve had an 8 week deep dive into public-private partnerships, philanthropy and too
numerous to count discussions with Agency heads and CH folks to come up with a
menu of possible priorities and initiatives for my office (aka the Mayors Fund, Fund for
Public Health, Fund for Public School, among others—the city affiliated non-profits) to
pursue. We have a list of 8 policy areas with potential initiatives attached and I think to
really get it right, we should narrow down to 2-4 “big” initiatives we will focus on.
Chirlane is open Thursday the 12 th from 12-2pm EST on and all day Friday the 13th. I
will send out documents that lay out what we are trying to accomplish and the Priority
Areas in advance.
Please let me know if and when you can join.
Many Thanks, Gabrielle

Hi all,
I look forward to our conversation tomorrow at 10am. For New Yorkers we will meet in the New
Amsterdam room at CH. Out of towners please call in to number below.
Attached you will find the document we will review. Please feel free to ask any questions
beforehand.
Thanks, Gabrielle
For Participants:
For Host:

Office of Strategic Partnerships (OSP) Proposed Priority Areas/Initiatives
OSP Mission:
To create a structure to engage private sector entities in philanthropic initiatives that partner with the
City. We seek to combine the flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit of the private sector with the
unmatched reach of government to address the specific and systemic challenges faced by the neediest
New Yorkers.
Steps and Framing:

x The OSP seeks to establish 3-4 Priority Areas to focus our public-private partnerships.
x Once Priority Areas are established and we understand how the Priorities hang together, a
“brand name” will be established to market the initiatives to advocates, funders and partners.
In depth work on the particular initiatives will begin once the Priority Areas are established.
x Thematically, our efforts will focus on the neediest New Yorkers where they live, in their
neighborhoods. The selected projects will have 2 over-arching principals; they will be inter-
agency in approach and place-based.
x We believe these public-private programs should be complimentary to what government does;
it is important to the philanthropic community that we not seek funding that simply fills the gap
in public funds.
Question at hand:
There are 9 Priority Areas and an early framework of initiatives outlined below. We seek to establish 3-4
areas the Funds will focus on and would like to discuss what resonates, how they fit together and how
they integrate with government priorities. These areas can then be oriented into the 4 “Buckets” of the
Administration (Education, Opportunity/Equality, Public Safety and Effective Government) for clarity of
message, if desired.
Youth Workforce Readiness: (jobs, youth, equity, education)

x SYEP (Summer Youth Employment Program): Making SYEP a more robust, year-round,
integrative program that ties into the school year and establishes a workforce pipeline.
135,000 kids applied for 36,000 slots in 2013.
o Establish an outreach campaign to the neediest kids
o Fund more slots; engage more businesses in offering jobs (70% are gov’t and
non-profit) link with school program.
o Offer training in advance of summer to teach soft skills and work prep.
o Offer follow-up during the school year in schools
o Provide after-school programming for workforce readiness, exposure to
industry…
x Foster better alignment between business and high schools:

o Partnering business with high schools to offer mentoring and other soft skills,
expansion of P-Tech model, institute system of career counselors and resource
centers for high schoolers and recent grads
x Support partnerships for existing technical high schools and development of tighter
pipeline to jobs in the sectors of school focus
x Promote, expand and expedite Tech curriculum in district schools, Link to Tech Talent
pipeline
Open Spaces/Play Spaces: (equity, health, out-of-school programming, public safety)

x Create a new model for 100 new community play-spaces in needy neighborhoods
that are safe spaces to promote health/end obesity, physical activity, park equity,
parental engagement and opportunity, providing safe environment for kids and
parents; can include community parks, schools, rec centers, swimming pools;
provide programming for kids and parents, provide free WIFI and fitness apps, for
example. Engage DOHMH, Parks, DOE, NYCHA, HPD among others
Gender Justice, Social Justice: (Public Safety, most vulnerable NYers, health)
x A campaign for Gender Justice: Domestic violence-there is a strong correlation
between poverty and DV. This is a gender-neutral issue; men need to be part of the
solution.
o Expansion of the family justice centers (one-stop shopping for victims of DV,
there is 1 in each boro) establish satellite offices in needy communities
o Launch awareness campaign of DV services, centers in communities.
o Expand offering of mental health counseling, job counseling, legal services for
immigrants in centers
Health & Healthy Living: (health, vulnerable NYers, equity, education, early child development)
x Early Childhood: a whole child approach, healthy kids do better in school. Attacking
disease and obesity in our neediest neighborhoods.
o Asthma Attack– Asthma is leading cause of emergency room visits,
hospitalizations and absenteeism from school: focus on in home solutions of
addressing pests (proven results exist) and offering in school based delivery of
medications and referrals (not done now)
o Nurse Family Partnership: in home mentoring and education of first time at risk
mothers, starting in pregnancy thru 3 years. Data is incontrovertible of the
benefits but it is expensive- how to build off of it a program to scale? Could be a
good candidate for social impact bonds
o Reach to Read: a pediatrician/clinician educates first time at risk mothers of
benefits of reading, “prescribes” and gives books. Benefits are language
development, early literacy, and school readiness.
x Access to healthy Foods:

o Green Markets and Green Carts (Jobs): expand programs, engage supermarket
industry, support wholesale markets in needy neighborhoods, etc…
o Health Bucks (economic/community development): this is a coupon currently
given at green markets: for every $5 spent in SNAP, $2 coupon given. Health
Bucks are being piloted in hospitals: Dr’s prescribing. Idea to pilot in bodegas,
supermarkets, schools, community’s, through City services…
x Mental health - expansion of mental health resources and efforts to combat stigmas
associated with mental health and emotional wellness
o Engage private partners (media, creative, personalities) to develop and launch
media/awareness campaign to de-stigmatize mental health issues.
o Fund counselors in public schools, partner with DOH/DOE to develop programs
for students and families, provide services in NYCHA, and target immigrant
communities…
Expanding educational opportunities: (education, workforce/jobs, after-school, equity, vulnerable

NYers)
x Early Literacy and Language development: (also connected to Early Childhood 0-3
programs)
o Communication in the early years is the key to future success: (see Reach to
Read program above) provide more speech specialists in schools to focus on
phonics to help kids get early start and keep up, identify issues earlier; support
special needs students, English language learners
o Increase tutoring programs for low income/targeted schools
x Arts & Culture: champion in our schools and communities.
o Leverage recent $20m public commitment to arts in the schools with a private
funding component (supporting Professional development and training of arts
teachers, program development).
x Professional development of teachers of color
x Recovery High Schools: sober high schools. Offer coherent substance abuse approach
for our schools
Reducing Income Inequality: Creating hubs for accessing resources and support: (equity, workforce,
health, gov’t efficiency)
x Focus on NYCHA as a hub for wrap-around services and economic empowerment
x NYCHA Resident Economic Empowerment & Sustainability (REES) and Job Plus Center
Additional support for these neighborhood specific workforce dev. Initiatives.
offering wraparound services in NYCHA thru these 2 vehicles.
x NYCHA “Lighthouses”
o A “lighthouse” would replace the direct service provider model currently in place
with an outward facing model to connect residents to social services (build on REES
and Single-Stop models)

x Expansion of Office of Financial Empowerment (DCA):
o Fund the expansion of these 30 centers to offer field reps in communities to
educate and assist those in poverty to apply for EITC (thru free tax prep) and access
bank account, among other services
x Develop programs, partnerships and funding to support key targeted sectors that have
high demand/good salaries to break-down barriers to entryÆ i.e. adding 16,000
nurses/technicians to local health care systems
Immigrant Communities: This may be an element of all of above initiatives (equity, vulnerable NYers)
x Access to Justice: legal status, or lack there of, is a leading cause of poverty for the 500k
undocumented NYers; establish programs through legal services or screenings that
develop roadmap for legal status in schools, community schools, NYCHA and through
other City facilities and services
x Safe Passage program – supporting access to legal services for children of immigrant
families to utilize existing programs for citizenship
x NYCitizenship: provides public school parents with info on naturalization process, free
legal services, financial counseling to aid in applying for citizenship
Leveraging tech within government: ( (gov’t efficiency, jobs, helping vulnerable NYers)
x Participatory Budgeting/Community Budgeting-empowering communities and
deepening democracy
o Empower people to decide together how to spend public money to make
public budgets more equitable and effective.
x Supporting development of interagency data/case management platforms: Public-
private partnership to help leverage private resources (funds and expertise) to support
an internal team (working with DoITT, Office of Operations, CTO, others) that would
help scope and frame out models for new systems of data collection and sharing. In
addition to consolidated data management systems these platforms would also provide
valuable trend-spotting metrics for agencies.
Sustainability: (jobs/workforce, vulnerable NYers, health)

x Retrofit and Green NY initiatives
x Stay Cool NYC: a P3 and inter-agency program to help mitigate extreme heat conditions
and reduce heat related deaths by painting city rooftops white thereby reducing cooling
costs, cutting energy use and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
x Supporting and creating green jobs (see Youth Workforce Readiness)
x Leveraging Energy Efficiency Corp

Attached is the mail plan, thought is that we drop mail

starting next week, and next weekend on the 28 th -
29 th we have street teams hit the area too. It should
blanket this are fairly well.
We just have to make sure we have the best story to tell,

Jonathan is working with Wiley on this but I just want to
flag it, because that’s going to be the toughest part on
this.
Thoughts? Questions? Whole thing isn’t too expensive,

42-43K overall, we have the money on hand for it, but
know it’s just meant to cover the geographic area, not the
overall message here.

Subject 5H 3RVVLEOH 7KHPHV
Pushing my conversation with Adam until you & I have had a chance to chew this over…
Read the framing memo & the themes below… A few quick thoughts…
** I like the first theme (with caveats, as you said, on 100% readiness) because it hints at Tale of Two
Cities (another record on Wall Street this week, BTW) - and what we’re doing to address it.
** Definitely agree with what you said re: every neighborhood needing/deserving a quality school. Good
schools are anchors of strong neighborhoods. It speaks to the character of a neighborhood & ensures that
people will live there/move there/want to raise a family there.
** I think we should use this speech to mention the role that parents play in this. We’re doing everything
we can from the government side to make sure there’s funding/programs/etc - but they need to take an
active role in their kids’ education, too - getting involved with the local school, making sure their kids do
their homework, taking advantage of offerings like Pre-K and after-school.
** Just like with the readiness figure, I’m a little worried about setting too many hard goals on improved
scores. A couple of metrics would be nice - but don’t want to box ourselves in & give the naysayers the
opportunity to say we didn’t achieve what we set out to do in Area X, so therefore we failed.
** I am obviously obsessed with after-school - so would love to draw the link between the expansion there
& the peace of mind we give parents that their kids are off the streets & out of harm’s way during those
most difficult hours after school day ends & before work day ends. Not sure how that fits into this
thematically though. Maybe it’s a broader responsibility message: we have a responsibility to our kids;
parents have responsibility to shape their lives; we’ve got a responsibility to ensure that workers have the
peace of mind they need to be productive (and not worrying) while at work & on the clock? Not quite
sure.

** Something to noodle on: BDB’s statement during the campaign that he wishes every parent could see
the world through the eyes of other parents; that these are ALL our children.

Let's discuss?

Subject 3RVVLEOH 7KHPHV
Peter,
Here are a few possible themes. The first one reflects your thoughts about how New York is so
good in so many things – but education is not one of them. The second, income inequality. And the
third neighborhoods. We may want to blend some of these together. Anyway, let me know what
you think.
1.  New York City is a world-class, 21 st century city by

many measures. A leader in global finance, media, and high-tech industries. A place world
wants to visit – and move to. Low crime. But education is being left behind – at a time
when it is more important than ever, because of globalization and the information
economy. We are launching an educational moonshot that will take New York schools into
the future. By the time this pre-k class graduates from high school, 100% will be ready for
college, a job, or independent living. This will be true in every school in every neighborhood
– and the improvements will begin immediately. A city that leads the world so much will
lead it in education as well.
2. The problem of our time is income inequality. We are

doing a great deal to address – from affordable housing to paid sick leave to municipal ID.
But nothing is more important in ending inequality than improving education. We are
launching an educational moonshot to close the gap. By the time this pre-k class graduates
from high school, 100% will be ready for college, a job, or independent living. This will be
true in every school in every neighborhood – and the improvements will begin immediately.
3. New York is a city of neighborhoods – and we want to

make every neighborhood great. Cannot be great without a first-class school. We are
launching an educational moonshot that will take New York schools into the future. By the
time this pre-k class graduates from high school, 100% will be ready for college, a job, or
independent living. This will be true in every school in every neighborhood – and the
improvements will begin immediately.

x Let’s have NYC public school parents think about BDB the way that oil
executives must have thought about VP Cheney – that we’ve finally got
“one of our own on the INSIDE,” and that we MUST use every lever of
power available to reshape policy in our way of thinking over the next
four or eight years, since we don’t know who will follow BDB.
x See the world through the eyes of every other parent. These are ALL our
children.

I’ll have a kicker video that wraps up the first-day, five-borough tour. Think it can be a
digital roll out but wanted you guys to have it on your radar. Aiming to drop at noon.
Will do tweeters, etc around it to push it far and wide.

THE GRACIE MANSION CONSERVANCY
New Tour Program Vision Proposal
Tuesday, September 9, 2014
PROPOSAL EXPLANATION:
The following outline explores two proposed phases for the development of a reimagined tour
program. These two phases will enable GMC to focus on a thoughtful plan and provide adequate
time to fully develop and implement these ideas.
The steps outlined in this proposal will enable GMC to create a cohesive narrative that weaves
together multiple stories of Gracie Mansion and New York City. This proposal ensures that any
changes to the art and the tour script form a connected and clear narrative, providing a succinct
tour experience for visitors, while keeping in mind how our tour offerings align with educational
goals and curriculum for New York City school groups. From a logistical standpoint, this plan
enables GMC to also coordinate the acquisition of resources and art work that will be needed to
tell these new stories at Gracie Mansion.
As an overview, beginning in October, GMC proposes hosting 3 school tours each week.
Through the months of October and November, GMC would create its first quarterly rotating
exhibition, which will be on display in the Ballroom. Beginning in December, GMC proposes
resuming the Specialty Tours and general admission tours. We propose that the general
admission tours be offered as an open house, which will be hosted on a monthly basis.
PHASE I (October-November, School Group Tours):
During the initial phase of the new vision, GMC proposes hosting 3 school tours each week on
Tuesdays at 10:30, 11:30, and 12:30, each tour lasting approximately 45 minutes. Previously,
school tours were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. For the sake of consistency,
GMC purposes keeping school tours on Tuesdays; however, if this is not a convenient time, we
can hold these on a different day.
School tours would begin Tuesday, October 7, 2014 (most schools do not take field trips in
September). The proposed tour content is based upon the past tours, but includes additions,
making it more relevant and up-to-date.
The Gracie Mansion Conservancy 1

Below are the proposed script themes that will be discussed during the tour. The subsequent
Proposed Script Outline provides a detailed explanation of what will be discussed in each part of
the house.
Proposed Script Theme Overview:

x House as Mayoral Residence x Revolutionary War
x Archibald Gracie, his family, and x Civic Rights/Responsibilities

ii. What are the mayor’s duties and responsibilities?
1. Parts of responsibilities include hosting famous dignitaries and guests: Nelson
Mandela and John F. Kennedy etc.
iii. Discuss how the leadership in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches reflect
the diverse nature of NYC
**Proposed new items of discussion for the tour**
PHASE II (November 2014-May 2015, Open Houses, Specialty Tours, & Changing
Exhibitions in the Wagner Wing):
During the second phase, in addition to the continued school tours, GMC proposes expanding the
tours available.
Starting in December, GMC proposes the start of regular Open Houses:
x Open Houses would occur once a month on a rotating schedule for two hours at a time.
x Guests make a reservation for 30 minute staggered tours for 30-50 people each.
x GMC proposes researching corporate sponsorship opportunities, eliminating
admission costs for the Open Houses.
Starting in December, while both the school tours and the Open Houses will continue, GMC
proposes once again implementing the specialty tour program. GMC purposes continuing the
specialty tour program as it serves as a revenue source for the Conservancy and has been and
continues to be very popular with our visitors. We currently have a long list of individuals that
have asked that we notify them when the specialty tours recommence. Moving forward, GMC
will look for opportunities to expand the specialty tour, increasing outreach and diversifying its
audiences.

Proposed December Schedule:
x Tuesdays (All tours 45 minutes long, unless otherwise noted)

o School Tours: 10:30, 11:15, 12:00
x Wednesdays
o Specialty Tour: 11:45-1:15 and 2:15-3:45
o One evening (option 5:30-7:00 pm) Specialty Tour per month. Specific days will
be scheduled in coordination with the family and MOSPCE events. GMC
understands that this might not be ideal for the family and can be flexible.
x Open House for the general public one day of the month
As part of Phase II, GMC proposes using the Wagner Wing as a rotating exhibition and
gallery space. GMC suggests that the Wagner Wing be used as a changing exhibit space, with
new installations every four months. Such installations may include art work from local artists
or loans from various city museums. Or the space may be used to display other historical or
interesting exhibits as they pertain to Gracie Mansion and the City of New York.
Below is a list of possible themes that may be explored through the rotating exhibitions in the
Wagner Wing.
Potential Gracie Mansion New Vision Themes:

Revolutionary War
To commemorate the Revolutionary War, we can have a tour focusing on items in the Gracie
Mansion collection that point toward Gracie’s role as a fort, highlighting the family that lived
here during this period and having to relinquish their home. Another option can be to involve the
Brooklyn Historical Society in having an exhibit on the Battle of Brooklyn, or a tour that talks
about that battle. This is also an opportunity to link with the Old Stone House in Brooklyn.
Fight for freedom

Founding Fathers
Loyalists/Patriots
Immigration
Immigrants from all over the world have played a major role in shaping the culture of NYC.
Gracie Mansion can highlight immigrant communities today by showing artworks depicting
Little Italy, China Town, the West Indian community in Brooklyn, Little Brazil etc. In addition,
this is an opportunity to have a public program about the Hart-Cellar Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1965 and immigration laws today.

Tensions between Immigrant groups
Population growth in NYC
Juan Rodriguez first documented non-Native American and immigrant to live on
Manhattan Island (1613)
September 11, 2001

Although there is a September 11 Memorial Museum, Gracie Mansion can highlight the meaning
of the Mayor’s role and leadership during this time through a tour that focuses on NYC Mayors,

Transportation is always a topic of discussion in NYC. This is an opportunity for Gracie
Mansion to display works of art that solely show transportation in New York, whether it is

people traveling on the subway, the building of Grand Central or the Mayor’s traveling to and

This looks pretty good to me…
* a typo - dignitaries not dignities

* not sure comparing the 3 branches of government to the diversity of NYC works
* is there anything we should say about the mansion that is NOT flattering to our history - i.e., a warts-
and-all depiction of the history of the mansion?
* do we make mention of the fact that the park that surrounds it is open to the public year-round?
* is there anything that the MBDB and FLONYC plan to do to the mansion to make it more family-friendly
that is appropriate to talk about?

THE GRACIE MANSION CONSERVANCY
Meeting Notes for Monday, September 15, 2014
Things to Consider:
x Who is our target audience?

o New Yorkers
o School ChildrenÆWhat age groups?
o Tourists
x How do we best engage our audiences?
x What is the story of Gracie Mansion? What parts of NYC history should be told at
Gracie Mansion?
x What is the significance of the tour? What do people walk away with that challenges
their understanding of Gracie Mansion or New York?
x What is the best way to make connections between the tour themes and the
administration’s vision?
Current Tour Themes:
x Dutch influence in New York

x Archibald Gracie, his family, and house
x Revolutionary War
x Briefly discuss Mayors and families as it relates to the addition of the Wagner Wing
Proposed Script Theme Overview:
x House as Mayoral Residence x Archibald Gracie, his family, house

x Civic Rights/Responsibilities x Revolutionary War
Potential Tour Themes for New Vision & Script:
Considering adding some of the following themes:
Revolutionary War
To commemorate the Revolutionary War, we can have a tour focusing on items in the Gracie
Mansion collection that point toward Gracie’s role as a fort, highlighting the family that lived
here during this period and having to relinquish their home. Another option can be to involve the
Brooklyn Historical Society in having an exhibit on the Battle of Brooklyn, or a tour that talks
about that battle. This is also an opportunity to link with the Old Stone House in Brooklyn.
Fight for freedom Founding Fathers

Loyalists/Patriot
Immigration
Immigrants from all over the world have played a major role in shaping the culture of NYC.
Gracie Mansion can highlight immigrant communities today by showing artworks depicting
Little Italy, China Town, the West Indian community in Brooklyn, Little Brazil etc. In addition,
this is an opportunity to have a public program about the The Hart-Cellar Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1965 and immigration laws today.
Tensions between Immigrant groups

Population growth in NYC
Juan Rodriguez first documented non-Native American and immigrant to live on
Manhattan Island (1613)
September 11, 2001

Although there is a September 11 Memorial Museum, Gracie Mansion can highlight the meaning
of the Mayor’s role and leadership during this time through a tour that focuses on NYC Mayors,
who they are, their duties, responsibilities, etc.
Mayor’s response to the attacks NYC’s recovery
Harlem
Harlem is a large cultural center of African American life and history. Gracie Mansion can work
with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and a museum to exhibit African
American art and build a tour program surrounding Harlem’s importance in New York City.
1935, 1943 & 1964 – Race Riots in Harlem, New York: Causes and Aftermath of the
Riots
Social Class in NYC
Racial injustice, riots and civil unrest in NYC
Great Migration from the American South
The Harlem Renaissance: New Black identity during this time

crash, a tour can explore New York as the financial capital, NYC thriving in spite of adversity,
and how Gracie Mansion and the families that lived there was able to overcome financial

New Vision for Gracie Mansion Conversations
John Del Cecato

September 15, 2014
1. Show/describe how NYC neighborhoods have changed over time both physically and
demographically. This could be installed in the ballroom. This conversation, particularly with
kids, could involve a conversation about the current physical surroundings at GM and what the
surrounding would have looked like in the past.
a. Reach out to John Mollenkoph at CUNY who has done extensive research on
demographic shifts, particularly in NYC.
i. Potential neighborhoods to highlight: Arthur Avenue, Brighton Beach, Flushing,
Bedford Stuyvesant. John Mollenkoph could also identify areas to focus on.
b. This could tie easily to the story of Gracie Mansion. When GM was built in 1799,
Archibald Gracie lived and worked downtown and built GM as a country home. When
GM became the official Mayoral residence in 1942, Fiorello LaGuardia temporarily
moved his office to what is now Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum in the Bronx, which at
the time was much more of a country location in order to get away from race riots in the
city. The area around GM has changed dramatically since its construction as have its
inhabitants. This could also include a conversation about transportation which has
allowed people to move farther away from the city center.
c. Interactive component: set up a television or computer where visitors could type in their
zip code and learn about the changes that have taken place in their own neighborhoods so
that visitors can learn about NYC’s diverse and dynamic changes over the years.
2. Distinguished women in history
a. Highlight distinguished women in NYC history – potentially identify one per decade.
These women could have had opened the first community bank or health center, been an
innovator, etc. An example of someone to highlight is Bella Abzug. This would involve
an interactive component to help kids feel connected to these people and also to make
them feel like they too can make a difference in society. The exhibit could possibly
include a wall where kids could post the name of a distinguished woman that they
admire.
3. Civic engagement
a. Path to becoming Mayor – tie to Mayor de Blasio. This would need an interactive
component.
4. Add some kind of human interest component
a. How do the Mayor, First Lady and family interact in the space? This would need to be
discussed further with the First Family.

United Nations Climate Speech
x It is an honor for New York to host this momentous

gathering at this critical moment
x So many individuals and organizations, who are fighting
to save our planet, have converged on our city
o With the intent to spark even greater action
x Humanity is facing an existential threat
x The earth – which took billions of years to evolve into a
nurturing environment for plants, animals, and mankind
– is dangerously close to the precipice of ruin
x The cause is us: how we heat our homes, how we
transport ourselves – the reckless way in which we live
x As the proverb says, we have sown the wind – and we
are reaping the whirlwind
[SPACE]
x This is an issue we all face – no one is spared – and our

mutual need to survive should instill a kind of unity we
rarely experience
x For some, the need is more urgent
x That is true of New York City
x We are bounded by water, so a rise in global sea levels
threatens to engulf us
x And we are in an active pathway for deadly hurricanes
x Two years ago Sandy, left 44 dead

x The storms to come, threaten to be far more lethal
[SPACE]
x We are not presented with options: we have only one

choice – urgent, bold action
x New York has, I am proud to say, already begun:
greenhouse gas emissions are down 19% from 2005
o Largely thanks to investments in cleaner energy
sources in buildings
o A plan instituted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
now the UN’s Special Envoy for Cities and Climate
Change
x This year, we’ve taken those efforts even further
x Including the most sweeping update to the City’s Air
Pollution code since 1975
[SPACE]
x All of this is vitally necessary – but not nearly enough

x On Sunday, I announced that New York City will work
toward “80 by 50”
o reducing average per capita emissions by 80% by
2050
x We are the largest city in the world to commit to such a
bold plan
x In New York City, buildings produce nearly three-
quarters of greenhouse gases, so we are starting there

x By 2025, we will have retrofitted the 3,000 public
buildings that account for nearly 90% of the
government’s energy use
o That’s 75% of all city-owned buildings
x And for every private building we will provide incentives
and set ambitious targets together to catalyze voluntary
reductions
o But, if steady progress is not made, we will issue
mandates
[SPACE]
x Our long-term goal is bolder still: charting a path to total

transition from fossil fuels
x And help build a national and international movement,
starting with the C40 Climate Leadership Group
o and the many who have gathered in common
cause this week
x While our situation is dire, we have the tools,
technology, and the knowledge to solve this crisis
x But only if we are willing to act immediately and make
profound changes to our way of life
x Today, New York City is embarking on that path
x We will not walk alone
x We will march side by side with leaders from around the
world, who share this sense of urgency

x And, if necessary, we will push others along
x Because only through a global movement, will we
overcome this disaster

2
x Want to thank everyone who made
today possible
o Our host: Jeff Sachs
One of the great thinkers of

our time
And also a great do-er
o Sustainable Development
Solutions Network
Network embodies UN
mission
x Bringing people together
x And focusing on
solutions
o Ambassadors

3
You’ve invested many late
nights in this effort
They were not in vain
x And we are grateful
o Business leaders
Together, we can reduce

carbon footprint
x And grow our economy
[SPACE]
x Finally, want to recognize fellow

mayors
x Thrilled to have you in New York
x So many opportunities to learn from

each other and collaborate

4
x And there is no time to waste
x In 1963, President Kennedy said,
x “The supreme reality of our time is the

vulnerability of our planet.”
x More than 50 years later, our planet has

only grown more vulnerable
x Moral imperative to protect it
x Only swift and dramatic action will

prevent catastrophe
x But there is cause for hope
x With help from Sustainable

Development Solutions Network, cities
are making ambitious goals
o And meeting them

5
[SPACE]
x Here in New York, we have reduced

carbon emissions by 19% since 2005
o Cleanest air in 50 years
x A good start, but not nearly enough
x Our goals must be commensurate to the

crisis
x On Sunday, announced new target
o By 2050, 80 percent reduction

in greenhouse gas emissions
from 2005 levels
x Largest city to make commitment of

this scale
x Joined in our efforts by others around

the world

6
o Including Melbourne, goal of zero
emissions by 2020
Represented here by Lord

Mayor Frank Doyle
o And Copenhagen, pledged to go

carbon neutral by 2025
Represented here by Lord

Mayor Frank Jensen
[SPACE]
x Centerpiece of plan is bold effort to

make public buildings green
x By 2025, will retrofit the 3,000

public buildings that account for
nearly 90% of the government’s
energy use
o That’s 75% of all city-owned
buildings

7
x Set voluntary reduction goals to
catalyze private buildings
o Tough mandates, if targets not

met
[SPACE]
x As more and more people flock to

cities around the world…
o increasingly becoming
responsibility of Mayors to
solve greatest challenges
x Again, President Kennedy said it well:
x “Our problems are man-made.

Therefore, they can be solved by man.”
x But global challenges like climate

change greater than any one of us

8
x Time is limited and requires aggressive
collective action
x Together, we can safeguard our shared

tomorrow
x Look forward to working with all of

you to build this global movement

I’ve merged notes from all the various meetings we’ve had recently with the Mayor. Parts of it are
verbatim, but this copy is not meant to be the speech. Just trying to get us jumpstarted using his
thought process.
On Friday, he spoke about publicly naming the problems in our schools. Level setting with parents
about the sad state of our schools (including highlight the false choice of charters) as well as
outlining metrics that are more immediate (by end of first and second terms) as well as the long-
term.
Need folks at DOE to start drilling in on the metrics (aggressive/ambitious but feasible/not laughable
metrics) and Adam’s team needs to start the speech so he has something to react to.
We are locking in on October 7 (Tuesday) with some potential that may need to shift to Monday,
October 6 if we want Marian Wright Edelman to introduce the Mayor (she is only available that
Monday)
Andrea Hagelgans
Office of the Mayor
Direct – 212.341.5372
Cell – 718.679.8965
ahagelgans@cityhall.nyc.gov

That’s why, starting today, and by the end of 2017:
PLACEHOLDER FOR METRICS
EXAMPLE: We have already begun to create career tech partnerships, and XX number
of high schools will have a sister school that will help prepare our kids.
And we want you, as a parent, engaged and part of the school
community. Because for all of this to work, we have to have a two-
way conversation.
o Dedicated DOE leadership focused on parent engagement
o Parent/schools coordinators
And if you offer me a second term, we will deliver xx by 2021:
[ PLACEHOLDER]
And for those parents who children started pre-K this year, this is our promise to you:
x Your child will enter kindergarten ready to learn because of our pre-K for all
program.
x When your child is in second grade, he/she will complete her year on grade level.
o We will work with teachers, principals and school communities to develop
authentic assessments of students’ progress during the year to
understand student needs, differentiate instruction, test instructional
approaches, and improve practice.
x And when she leaves 7th grade she will be socially, emotionally and academically
ready for high school.
o We will identify new ways of understanding students’ non-cognitive and
social-emotional growth – such as persistence, grit, work
habits/organizational skills, and other personal behaviors.
x Your 10th grader will be on track for college or career readiness.
o To do this work, we need to re-define what we mean by college and

career readiness to move beyond measures of only credit accumulation
and test scores, to focus on developing students who can think for
themselves, own information and use if for their own purposes, and
recognize what good thinking looks like, rather than just good answers.
This will require adjusting practice to focus on building critical thinking
skills, in line with the Common Core, and re-defining key milestones for
10th grade, when students must begin to plan for college and career post
high school.
x My promise to you is that by 2028, we will ensure that ALL NYC public school
graduates are college and career ready by the time this cohort graduates in
2028. (24.7%, 2013)

Boss wants to wait on going through next version of the speech until we have feedback from Labor.
But as soon as we get that feedback, he wants the speech prep group to jump on phone ASAP with
him and start refining quickly. Group should include – Fromo, Ragone, and possibly Emma for a gut
check on some of the politics pieces.
Thanks

Boss wants to wait on going through next version of the speech until we have feedback from Labor.
But as soon as we get that feedback, he wants the speech prep group to jump on phone ASAP with
him and start refining quickly. Group should include – Fromo, Ragone, and possibly Emma for a gut
check on some of the politics pieces.
Thanks

>LI VXSSRUW/LVWV@! 1. >HQGLI@! The first one is basically correct, but I

would omit the use of the word “families” and change to something like: “The
numbers are alarming: in the UK, in 2011, the average income of an adult in
the top .1% is more than 70 times the average income of an adult in the
bottom 90% [World Top Income Database, 2011 Data].”
In the UK in 2011, the average income for adults in the top .1% was 922,433
pounds. If you calculate that for the average income of the bottom 90% in the
U.K., the average income is 12,993 pounds, which is slightly less than one-
seventieth. Source here: http://topincomes.g-
mond.parisschoolofeconomics.eu/#Database:
>LI VXSSRUW/LVWV@! 2. >HQGLI@! The second one is correct. Source is

as [Oxfam, “A Tale of Two Britains: Inequality in the UK, 2014]. You can also
link to the Guardian article:
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/mar/17/oxfam-report-scale-
britain-growing-financial-inequality
>LI VXSSRUW/LVWV@! 3. >HQGLI@! The third one is correct, but are you
sure the study was published by both Oxfam and Church Action on Poverty? It
seem to just be an Oxfam policy paper: http://policy-
practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/a-tale-of-two-britains-inequality-in-the-

Mayor Bill de Blasio
Labour Party Conference Remarks
“The Power of Speaking Hard Truths”
Draft 21 – September 22nd, 10:50PM
It’s such an honor to be here with the people who make this Labour Party what it is.
From the rising stars that will – WILL – lead Labour to victory next year… to
everyday activists whose unflinching passion and energy will fuel the campaign.
Though I’ve seen your efforts mostly from afar, it’s clear to me, even across five time
zones and an ocean, that this group is working towards something special….
something important.
It’s fitting that we find ourselves in Manchester. This city was at the forefront of the
innovation and ingenuity that drove the Industrial Revolution, helping shape the
contours of the modern economy that we know today.
It shares a special status in history with the city I love and am so honored to lead.
Both are places where big ideas and raw grit have been honored and rewarded like
few others in the world. As the saying goes: “What Manchester does today, the rest
of the world does tomorrow."
It is also among the first places in the world to foster a working class… and among
the first where working people empowered themselves to take part in the political
process. It’s no wonder then that Manchester is a place where hard truths are
deeply understood and spoken out…. Where injustices are met, head on.
I cannot imagine a more appropriate backdrop for this gathering because yours is a
party BORN out of working people attaining the right to vote… a party that EXISTS
to fight for working families and forcefully address their needs.
Labour has inclusiveness and progressiveness coded in its DNA… Yours is a party
grounded in the idea that everyone’s voice matters…. And that no one should be left
behind.
THIS Labour Party is led by a new generation of progressive leaders and defined by
bold ideas. You stand ready to ACT with a plan for a fairer, more prosperous United
Kingdom; to make the UK a place where opportunity is a RIGHT granted to all, not a
GIFT for the fortunate few.
THIS Labour Party hears the voices of the millions who feel like they are treading
water… Working harder and harder but feeling less and less secure about the future.
THIS Labour Party has the moral compass -- and the backbone -- to fight for an
economy... a country… that works for working people… for EVERYONE.

And your party refuses to accept the politics of inertia… That resigned mindset that
says the next generation is destined to do worse than this one.
By virtue of being in this room, you recognize that we owe it to our kids to do better
… to live up to the most basic promise we make to the people we serve.
I say that as someone charged with the duty of overseeing New York’s public
schools, where over one million children learn and grow. I also say it as a father of
two beautiful children of my own, Dante and Chiara, who have attended those
schools for most of their young lives.
There is NO duty more sacred than parenthood.
Nothing gives me more comfort… more joy… than watching my children grow,
knowing they can be WHATEVER -- WHOEVER -- they want to be. The boundaries
of their future are determined only by how hard they work and how big they dream.
If we accept a future – or a present – where parents can’t look their kids in the eyes
and tell them they have a shot at something better, then we break the promise of
civilized society…. We deprive our children – AND their parents -- of so much.
This is what we are up against. I’ve said that growing inequality is THE crisis of our
time. We see it in the form of a status quo that works very well for a few fortunate
souls, but leaves everyday working people caught in a cost-of-living crisis.
I’ve spoken about growing inequality and this rising cost of living reaching crisis
levels in New York, but as the people in this room GET, it’s every bit as true here.
And let’s be clear what we mean when we talk about a cost of living crisis. It’s not
about penthouse flats, Bentleys or five-star holidays. The people who can afford
THOSE luxuries, in fact, are doing are doing quite well under this Conservative
government.
But feeding a family, keeping a modest home that’s lit and heated, securing a safe
place for young kids to learn during the day… THESE things are becoming more and
more costly. We’re not talking about luxuries, or even conveniences, but the
ESSENTIALS that people need to live.
A cost-of-living crisis is an apt way of describing it. Living itself is becoming harder
and harder for working families to afford. Not living WELL… just LIVING; just
getting by.
And the price this crisis extracts isn’t simply monetary.

You can see it in the tired eyes of the waitress whose SECOND job is preceded by a
second SHIFT at her FIRST job….

In the juddering hand of the bus driver signing the paperwork for a payday loan….
In the clenched jaws and stiff lips of working parents mustering brave faces in front
of their son and daughter… in the WORK that just goes into hiding the fear that they
will not be able to attain a better life.
As wealth becomes more concentrated at the top, stories like these are becoming
more common and less isolated to the lowest steps of the economic ladder.
If unaddressed, this crisis itself will become THE defining characteristic of our
societies… It won’t prosperity and opportunity… it will tragically be the inequality
and cost-of-living crisis.
I know from everything I’ve seen and heard that this Labour Party understands
what’s at stake here.
I also know the weight of this moment can feel like a burden: the exasperation that
comes from knowing the gravity of this crisis – a generation’s prospects at risk of
being forsaken – at a time when so many seem unwilling to act in its face.
The right side of history can feel like a lonely place. But it isn’t. It never has been.
Indeed, history itself tells us that people always gravitate towards decency,
inclusion and progress. And you don’t have to look back thousands of years to see
that – go walk around a neighborhood in Manchester… Go to a school, a church, a
mosque… You can see the trust people put in one another every day; the value
people place in simple moral action.
So why then is COLLECTIVE moral action often so difficult?
In the case of the inequality and cost-of-living crisis, part of the issue is scope: the
problem seems so difficult, so deeply embedded, that good people can be tempted to
throw their hands up and declare that nothing can be done about it.
But there’s something else going on as well. You see, as is the case with many
injustices in history, there are people – small in number but outsize in power – who
benefit from the status quo, and they work to maintain it. Their voices seem
louder… more confident and authoritative… and those of everyday people get
drowned out.
In this way, people are made to feel powerless – made to feel that their voice doesn’t
matter at all.
So at the same time that inequality is skyrocketing the cost of living is overwhelming
– something people can see and feel every day in their neighborhoods – we’re told
that even speaking of this problem is unconstructive, divisive… harmful, even.

You know that it isn’t. So do the people of your country.
Part of your job then is to help them find their voice to say – together – that Britons
want a country that works for everyone.
Sometimes people – good, hardworking people – need to hear the truth spoken
before they feel comfortable speaking it themselves.
And there’s so much power that comes from speaking the truth, and especially from
speaking HARD truths.
That’s because the status quo gets perpetuated through a series of falsehoods…false
CHOICES in the form of conventional wisdom that assigns mutual exclusivity to
ideas that should be complimentary.
We’re told that prosperity can’t be both great and also shared….
That you can’t lift the floor for those struggling in a tough economy, and still balance
a budget….
That those of us who serve can’t expect to achieve anything at all if we dare to
advance policies which are bold and morally right.
In the lead-up to the election for New York City Mayor last year, the voices of the
status quo gave voters another false choice: support my candidacy … OR vote for
someone with a real shot at winning.
I am here before you today because the people of New York City rejected the lazy
logic of false–choice politics. New Yorkers realized THEY were the ones who got to
determine the political feasibility of an agenda that reflected THEIR values.
I want to tell you how it happened.
I announced my candidacy for Mayor from the front steps of my home in Brooklyn
in January 2013. A few hundred people were there with me… the earliest believers
in our campaign.
We were brought together by a deep concern: that New York had become a Tale of
Two Cities; a place where a few were doing very well, but millions of working
people were struggling to live amidst spiking inequality and a rising cost of living.
It threatened to degrade New York’s status as a place in the world.

The beacon of opportunity that for generations shone so brightly across our five
boroughs and out into the world was dimming.
We saw it, we FELT it in our city…. Even if it was unspoken, we saw on our
neighbors’ faces: the weight of worry about a future of diminished possibilities… For
themselves… their families… their children.
And we knew the policies of the status quo were exacerbating this crisis rather than
addressing it.
But though our mission was in many ways somber, our mood that day was not. It
was a grey, frigid afternoon, but the event had an aura of excitement and joy one
would expect at a summer block party. It was no doubt a strange sight to those
passing by.
There was a feeling that something special was happening that made the chill
tolerable. It came from having found in one another a group of people who spoke
the same truth about our Tale of Two Cities…the harm it was doing…. the threat it
posed.
There was a sense of relief that came from learning we weren’t alone in our beliefs…
a lifting of lonely burdens.
And there was a sense of mission that came from accepting a mutual responsibility
to act, together, against this crisis… and a heartfelt faith that victory was achievable,
no matter the odds.
And the odds did appear long, at first. It felt like the total number of those in the city
who had HEARD of me was limited to those standing in front of my home that day…
And my house is not very big.
Conventional wisdom wasn’t on our side, either. Not only were other candidates for
mayor better known, they espoused ideas that were seen as more politically
practical, hewing to the familiarity of the status quo.
But it was never my intention to nibble around the edges with policies of timid
maintenance; I ran to take dead aim at the crisis of our time. And I became Mayor
because every day New Yorkers, too, were hungry to break from an era that was
leaving millions behind.
Our campaign was powered by people of every race, every background, every
income bracket. And yes, even many New Yorkers who had enjoyed great success
joined our fight against rising inequality. They wanted the next generation of New
Yorkers to have the same opportunities the city had given them.

We were a small group, at first, but as New Yorkers slowly learned that we were
fighting for a government that would represent THEIR values -- fairness, justice, real
opportunity for all – our campaign grew. And grew… And grew.
We worked – together – as activists, to spread the word.
And so in living rooms and parks… in retirement communities and residence halls…
on Twitter and Facebook… people were hearing from one another for the first time
things that they already knew in their own hearts to be true… and they were
learning of the POWER that could come when they spoke out themselves.
THAT is how in a matter of months we went from a few hundred souls gathered on a
on that blustery Brooklyn day, to not just winning, but winning BIG on ELECTION
day.
And our shared resolve to remake our City didn’t end when the votes were tallied.
The same tenets that defined our campaign now drive our Administration: a
constant push for bold action; a willingness to hear and speak hard truths; an
agenda set by listening to the PEOPLE, not the powerful few.
In the first few months of this Administration, we’ve met some resistance as we fight
to make New York a city for everyone.
But we’re winning… We’re making real progress….
On my absolute highest priority, that’s meant working aggressively to secure

unprecedented access to free, full day early education programs for 4-year-olds.
We did this because study after study shows the great equalizing effect of early
education. But you don’t need read an academic journal to get that: we all know
access to quality education does so much to determine a person’s economic
destiny… and as with most matters of destiny, timing is everything.
Now, to give you some context on the politics we faced when trying to expand early
education for families, I’d like to read you two assessments from New York
newspapers, published almost exactly one year apart.
In September 2013, a few months before I was elected Mayor… the New York Daily
News wrote QUOTE “de Blasio’s signature proposal… his promise to create 48,000
educational slots for four-year-olds…has little chance of becoming a reality.”
Then, in September 2014, the New York Times,: QUOTE “51,000 Answer de Blasio’s
Bell for New Pre-K.”

Now, the 51,000 there refers to the number of kids who have been signed up for
these programs. That’s three thousand MORE than the number said to be
impossible just one year ago.
It also means that 51,000 beautiful children are on a better path to success… And all
of their mothers and fathers… grandparents and guardians… they get to experience
the comfort… the joy… that comes from seeing the shine of brighter futures.
It’s hard to even express how much that means for the working people of our city.
But it’s also not all we’ve done in our first few months in office.
We’ve enacted measures to give over 1 million more New Yorkers the right to paid
sick leave, ensuring working people won’t lose a paycheck – or a job – because of
illness or injury
We’ve launched a plan to secure affordable housing for 500,000 New Yorkers over
the next decade. That’s more than total population of the City of Bristol… Or of cities
Miami, for anyone watching back home.
We ended what had been one of the saddest manifestations of inequality by

reforming racially biased police practices so that ALL law-abiding New Yorkers are
granted the basic right of walking down the street without fear of being hassled by
authorities.
And we’ve done this all while reaching agreement on a contract with our city
teachers – educators who had gone without a contract for five years. In all that time,
the good men and women charged with safeguarding the futures of our children had
enjoyed little security when it came to their own futures.
We made a deal grounded in partnership and mutual respect, because RESPECT for
working men and women is a core principle that all GOOD governments live by. It
was a fair deal for teachers – offering increased pay that they greatly deserved. But
it also generated important savings that labor was a partner in achieving. And it
was a good deal for the people of New York – those who depend on our public
schools and want great teachers, but also those who want to make sure that their
tax dollars are well-spent.
So if anyone tells you that a balanced budget and an agenda of economic fairness
can’t go hand-in-hand, tell them to come visit New York City.
Really, it’s beautiful this time of year.
I notice so many similarities between the UK I see today and the New York where I
stood on that cold morning and announced my candidacy.

In comes through so clearly, even across all the physical distance that separates our
countries: the people of the UK are ready for bold, progressive change.
And if we can make the strides that we’ve made in New York City from a campaign
so humble in its origins, imagine the feats that can come from this great hall!
But there’s a more sobering parallel I see as well…. It’s in the deepness of the crisis
that we share.
The numbers are alarming: in the UK, in 2011, the average income of an adult in top
0.1 % (point one percent) was more than 70 times that of someone in the bottom
90%. [2011, World Income Database].
The Guardian recently reported that the five richest families in the UK have more
wealth than the entire bottom 20% of the country. And, as is the case in New York
City, the trend has been moving sharply in the wrong direction. According to a
study published by Oxfam, since the 1990s, incomes of the top 0.1% (point one
percent) of Britons have grown four times faster than those of the bottom 90%.
Now let’s be clear: there’s nothing wrong with attaining wealth. I’m happy to
celebrate the success of those who’ve earned it. But the policies of the Conservative
government are preventing so many from writing success stories of their own.
And as is the case in the US and New York City, the stories of those struggling the
hardest – those of unpaid bills and sleepless nights – don’t fully illuminate the
severity of this crisis.
Mounting disparities in income create ripple effects that undermine whole

economies.
The Financial Times recently concluded that the income gap between America’s
richest and poorest metropolitan regions is not only the widest it has ever been, but
that this phenomenon was QUOTE "shaping an uneven housing recovery that
threatens to hold back the broader revival of the world’s largest economy.”
Indeed, in an increasingly interconnected world, a system grounded in exclusivity is

not sustainable for ANYONE, including those at the very top. It is a problem that
hurts everyone, in one way or another, whether they get it or not.
This Conservative government certainly doesn’t seem to get it. Their top-down
policies are making things harder for working people every day.
Among the many ways they’ve aggravated the wounds of this crisis, the most painful
might be their tax code.

Instead of giving working families the leg-up they deserve, they gave billions on tax
cuts to the wealthiest with the vague hope that money will magically trickle down to
everyone else. In my country, that’s an approach we call voodoo economics. I have
no doubt the word “voodoo” sounds more elegant in a British accent than an
American one, but in any intonation, we know it’s a policy that doesn’t work.
So let me tell you about what does work. And you don’t have to look far to see it. In
fact, you heard it at your own conference last night.
Ed Milliband has so clearly articulated both the challenges, and the opportunities
this moment in history creates for the British people – showing a willingness to take
dead aim at the scourge of inequality.
He knows that a cautious approach won’t do when it comes to addressing the crisis
of our time. He has a BOLD vision for big change. As he said last night: “I’m not
talking about changing a policy, or simply a different programme. But something
that is bigger: transforming the idea, the ethic, of how our country is run.”
Indeed, he knows well what needs to be done. As he told this conference LAST
YEAR: “We have to rebuild anew One Nation. An economy built on your success, a
society based on your values, a politics that hears your voice – rich and poor alike –
accepting their responsibilities to each other.”
Ed Miliband will be a Prime Minister for everyone. He will govern for Britons with
second jobs and second mortgages, not just those with second homes.
He believes in politics of the MANY, not the few…
Ed Miliband understands -- this Labour Party understands – the true cost of a status
quo that puts a barrier between working people and prosperity… the drag it creates
on the economy… and on the lives of families.
Because this Labour Party not only has the right values, it has an agenda that puts
them into action. Not political talk, but a real plan that reforms the crux of the
economy to make Britain work for everyone.
Labour has a plan for a tax code that rewards hard work over existing wealth and
power. A plan to end the current government’s 3 billion pound tax cut for the
wealthiest and instead give tax relief to 24 million middle and working class
people….
A plan that protects and STRENGTHENS – not curtails – the NHS so that quality
healthcare remains a right and not a privilege…
A plan that puts working people ahead of big corporations by controlling energy
costs, and taking unprecedented steps to make housing more affordable.

And a plan that provides 25 hours a week of free child care to working parents of 3-
and 4-year olds, and another to expand after school programs, so that ALL kids can
get on a path to success and opportunity early… and stay there.
This agenda is a blueprint of what a fairer, more prosperous, STRONGER United

Kingdom will look like.
It recognizes that everyone’s future… Every child’s future… MATTERS.
That is not only why you MUST win, it is why you WILL win!
The upcoming election represents a real choice for the people of your country: build
a United Kingdom that rewards hard work and ensures the next generation does
better… Or continue down a path where a privileged few do very well, while
everyone else is left to fend for themselves.
To me, that choice is very clear, as I know it is to people in this room… and as I know
it will become to everyday people across this country.
But to those on the other side, who argue things work BETTER when opportunity is
scarce and exclusive, I offer this thought: not even DARWIN was a social Darwinist.
Indeed, Charles Darwin, one of the greatest minds that yours or any country ever
produced, put it this way: “If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of
nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.”
Among the cruelest false choices we are given is one that says we can only move
forward if some are left behind. You don’t need to accept that. No one should.
The work ahead of you will be anything but easy… I can assure you of that. That
distinct histories written on opposite ends of an ocean leave us, at this moment,
facing essentially the same crisis – underscores its profound scale.
But you have the power to overcome it.
If you reject the cold complacency of the status quo, its power will erode.
If you speak hard truths, others will listen.
If you empower the great people of your country to speak THEIR truths, to speak
out, to stand up and ACT in the face of this crisis, then there is so much good that
you can achieve, together.
And I believe you will.
Thank you!

That’s what we are up against. I’ve said that growing inequality is THE crisis of our
time. We see it in the form of a status quo that works very well for a few fortunate

x It’s such an honor to be here with the people who
make this Labour Party what it is. From the rising
stars that will – WILL – lead Labour to victory next
year… to the everyday activists whose unflinching
passion and energy will fuel the campaign.
x Though I’ve seen your efforts mostly from afar, it’s
clear to me, even across five time zones and an ocean,
that this group is working towards something
special…. something important.

x It’s fitting that we find ourselves in Manchester. This
city was at the forefront of the innovation and
ingenuity that drove the Industrial Revolution, helping
shape the contours of the modern economy that we
know today.
x It shares a special status in history with the city I love
and am so honored to lead. Both are places where big
ideas and raw grit have been honored and rewarded
like in few others in the world.

x It is also among the first places in the world to foster a
working class… and among the first where working
people empowered themselves to take part in the
political process. It’s no wonder then that Manchester
is a place where hard truths are deeply understood and
spoken out.
x I cannot imagine a more appropriate backdrop for this
gathering because yours is a party BORN out of
working people attaining the right to vote… a party
that EXISTS to fight for working families and
forcefully address their needs.

x Labour has inclusiveness and progressiveness coded in
its DNA… Yours is a party grounded in the idea that
everyone’s voice matters…. And that no one should
be left behind.
x THIS Labour Party is led by a new generation of
progressive leaders and defined by bold ideas. You
stand ready to ACT with a plan for a fairer, more
prosperous United Kingdom; to make the UK a place
where opportunity is a RIGHT granted to all, not a
x THIS Labour Party hears the voices of the millions
who feel like they are treading water… Working
harder and harder but feeling less and less secure
about the future.

x THIS Labour Party has the moral compass -- and the
backbone -- to fight for an economy... a country… that
works for working people… for EVERYONE.
x And your party refuses to accept the politics of
inertia… That resigned mindset that says the next
generation is destined to do worse than this one.
x By virtue of being in this room, you recognize that we
owe it to our children to do better … to live up to the
most basic promise we make to the people we serve.

x I say that as someone charged with the duty of
overseeing New York’s public schools, where over
one million kids in grades 12 and under learn and
grow.
x I also say it as a father of two beautiful children of my
own, Dante and Chiara, who have attended those
x There is NO duty more sacred than parenthood.
x Nothing gives me more comfort… more joy… than
watching my children grow, knowing they can be
WHATEVER -- WHOEVER -- they want to be. The
boundaries of their future are determined only by how
hard they work and how big they dream.

x If we accept a future – or a present – where parents
can’t look their kids in the eyes and tell them they
have a shot at something better, then we break the
promise of civilized society…. We deprive our
children – AND their parents -- of so much.
x Now, I’ve said that growing inequality is THE crisis
of our time. We see it in the form of a status quo that
works very well for a few fortunate souls, but leaves
everyday working people caught in a cost-of-living
crisis.
x I’ve spoken about growing inequality and the rising
cost of living reaching crisis levels in New York, and
it’s just as true here. And I know the people in this
room GET that.

x And let’s be clear what we mean when we talk about a
cost of living crisis. It’s not about penthouse flats,
Bentleys or five-star holidays. The people who can
afford THOSE luxuries, are in fact, doing quite well
under this Conservative government.
x But feeding a family, keeping a modest home that’s lit
and heated, securing a safe place for young kids to
learn during the day… THESE things are becoming
more and more costly. We’re not talking about
luxuries, or even conveniences, but the ESSENTIALS
that people need to live.
x Living ITSELF is getting harder and harder for
working families to afford. Not living WELL… just
LIVING; just getting by.

x And the price people pay isn’t merely monetary.
x You can see it in the tired eyes of the waitress whose
SECOND job is preceded by a second SHIFT at her
FIRST job….
x In the juddering hand of the bus driver signing the
paperwork for a payday loan….
x In the clenched jaws and stiff lips of working parents
mustering brave faces in front of their son and
daughter… in the WORK that goes into just hiding the
fear that they won’t be able to attain a better life.

x As wealth becomes more concentrated at the top,
stories like these are becoming more common and less
isolated to the lowest steps of the economic ladder.
x If unaddressed, the crisis will become THE defining
characteristic of our societies… It won’t be prosperity
and opportunity… tragically, it will be the inequality
x I know this Labour Party understands what’s at stake.
x I also know the weight of this moment can feel like a
burden: the exasperation that comes from knowing the
gravity of this threat – a generation at risk of being
forsaken – at a time when so many seem unwilling to
act in response.
10

x The right side of history can feel like a lonely place.
But it isn’t. It never has been.
x Indeed, history itself tells us that people ALWAYS
gravitate towards decency, inclusion and progress.
And you don’t have to look back thousands of years to
see that – go walk around a neighborhood in
Manchester… Go to a school, a church, a mosque…
You can see the trust people put in one another every
day; the value people place in simple moral action.
x So why then is COLLECTIVE moral action often so
difficult?
11

x In the case of the inequality and cost-of-living crisis,
part of the issue is scope: the problem seems so
difficult, so deeply embedded, that good people can be
tempted to throw their hands up and declare that
nothing can be done about it.
x But there’s something else going on as well. As is the
case with many injustices in history, there are people –
small in number but oversized in power – who benefit
from the status quo, and they work to maintain it.
Their voices seem louder… more confident and
authoritative… and those of everyday people get
drowned out.
12

x In this way, people are made to feel powerless… made
to feel that their voice doesn’t matter at all.
x So at the same time that inequality is skyrocketing, the
cost of living is overwhelming – something people can
see and feel every day – we’re told that even speaking
of this problem is unconstructive, divisive… harmful,
even.
x You know that it isn’t. So do the people of your
country.
x Part of your job then is to help them find their voice to
say – together – that Britons want a country that works
for everyone.
13

x Sometimes people – good, hardworking people – need
to hear the truth spoken before they feel comfortable
speaking it themselves.
x And there’s so much power that comes from speaking
the truth… especially from speaking HARD truths.
x That’s because the status quo gets perpetuated through
a series of falsehoods…false CHOICES that assign
mutual exclusivity to ideas that should be
complementary.
x We’re told that prosperity can’t be both great, and
shared….
14

x That you can’t lift the floor for those struggling in a
tough economy, and still balance a budget….
x That those of us who serve can’t expect to achieve
anything at all if we dare to advance policies which
are bold and morally right.
x In the lead-up to the election for New York City
Mayor last year, the voices of the status quo gave
voters another false choice: support my candidacy …
OR vote for someone with a real shot at winning.
x I am here before you today because the people of New
York City rejected the lazy logic of false–choice
politics.
15

x I want to tell you how it happened.
x I announced my candidacy for Mayor from the front
steps of my home in Brooklyn in January 2013. A few
hundred people were there with me… the earliest
believers in our campaign.
x We were brought together by a deep concern: that
New York had become a Tale of Two Cities; a place
where a few were doing very well, but millions of
working people were struggling to live amidst spiking
inequality and a rising cost of living.
x It threatened to degrade New York’s status in the
world.
16

x The beacon of opportunity that for generations shone
so brightly across our five boroughs and out into the
world was dimming.
x We saw it, we FELT it in our city…. Even if it was
unspoken, we saw on our neighbors’ faces: the weight
of worry about a future of diminished possibilities…
For themselves… their families… their children.
x And we knew the policies of the status quo were
exacerbating the problem rather than addressing it.
17

x But though our mission was in many ways somber,
our mood that day was not. It was a grey, frigid
afternoon, but the event had an aura of excitement and
joy one would expect at a summer block party. It was
no doubt a strange sight to those passing by.
x There was a feeling that something special was
happening that made the chill tolerable. It came from
having found in one another a group of people who
spoke the same truth about our Tale of Two
Cities…the harm it was doing…. the threat it posed.
x There was a sense of relief that came from learning we
weren’t alone in our beliefs… a lifting of lonely
burdens.
18

x There was a powerful sense of MISSION that came
from accepting a mutual responsibility to act, together,
against this scourge… and a heartfelt faith that victory
x Now, the odds did appear quite long, at first. It felt
like the total number of those in the city who had
HEARD of me was limited to those standing in front
of my home that day… And my house is not very big.
x And not only were other candidates for mayor better
known, they espoused ideas that were seen as more
politically practical, hewing to the familiarity of the
status quo.
19

x But it was never my intention to nibble around the
edges with policies of timid maintenance; I ran to take
dead aim at the crisis of our time. And I became
Mayor because everyday New Yorkers, too, were
hungry to break from an era that was leaving millions
behind.
x Our campaign was powered by people of every race,
every age, every income bracket. And yes, even many
New Yorkers who had enjoyed great success joined
our fight against rising inequality. They wanted the
next generation of New Yorkers to have the same
opportunities the city had given them.
20

x We were a small group, at first, but as New Yorkers
learned that we were fighting for a government that
would represent THEIR values -- fairness, justice, real
opportunity for all – our campaign grew. And grew…
And grew.
x We worked – together – as activists, to spread the
word.
21

x And so in living rooms and parks… in retirement
communities and residence halls… on Twitter and
Facebook… people were hearing from one another for
the first time things they already knew in their own
hearts to be true… and they were learning of the
POWER that could come when they spoke out
themselves.
x THAT is how in a matter of months we went from a
few hundred souls gathered on that blustery Brooklyn
day, to not just winning, but winning BIG on
ELECTION day.
x And our shared resolve to remake our city didn’t end
when the votes were tallied.
22

x The same tenets that defined our campaign now drive
our Administration: a constant push for bold action; a
willingness to hear and speak hard truths; an agenda
set by listening to the PEOPLE, not the powerful few.
x With regard to my absolute highest priority, that’s
meant working aggressively to secure unprecedented
access to free, full day early education programs for 4-
year-olds.
x We did this because study after study shows the great
equalizing effect of early education. But you don’t
need to read an academic journal to get that: we all
know access to quality education does so much to
determine a person’s economic destiny… and as with
most matters of destiny, timing is everything.
23

x Now, to give you some context on the politics we
faced when trying to expand early education for
families, I’d like to read you two assessments from
New York newspapers, published almost exactly one
year apart.
x In September 2013, a few months before I was elected
Mayor… the New York Daily News wrote “[The]
promise to create 48,000 educational slots for four-
year-olds…has little chance of becoming a reality.”
x Then, in September 2014, in The New York Times
QUOTE “51,000 Answer de Blasio’s Bell for New
Pre-K.”
24

x Now, the 51,000 there refers to the number of kids
who have been signed up for these programs. That’s
three thousand MORE than the number said to be
x It also means that 51,000 beautiful children are on a
better path to success… And all of their mothers and
fathers… grandparents and guardians… they get to
experience the comfort… the joy… that comes from
seeing the shine of brighter futures.
x It’s hard to express how much that means for the
working people of our city. But it’s also not all we’ve
done in our first few months in office.
25

x We’ve enacted measures to give over 1 million more
New Yorkers the right to paid sick leave, ensuring
people won’t lose a paycheck – or a job – because of
illness or injury
x We’ve launched a plan to secure affordable housing
for 500,000 New Yorkers over the next decade.
That’s more than the total population of the City of
Bristol… Or of Miami, for anyone watching back
home.
26

x We ended what had been one of the saddest
manifestations of inequality by reforming racially
biased police practices so that ALL law-abiding New
Yorkers are granted the basic right of walking down
the street without fear of being hassled by authorities.
x And we’ve done this all while reaching agreement on
a contract with our city teachers – educators who had
gone without a contract for nearly five years. In all
that time, the good men and women charged with
safeguarding the futures of our children had enjoyed
little security when it came to their own futures.
27

x We made a deal grounded in partnership and mutual
respect, because RESPECT for working men and
women is a core principle that all GOOD governments
live by. It was a fair deal for teachers – offering
increased pay that they greatly deserved. But it also
generated important savings that labor was a partner in
achieving. Put simply: it was a good deal for the
people of New York.
x So if anyone tells you that a balanced budget and an
agenda of economic fairness can’t go hand-in-hand,
tell them to come visit New York City.
x Really, it’s beautiful this time of year.
28

x I notice so many similarities between the UK I see
today and the New York where I stood on that cold
morning and announced my candidacy.
x In comes through so clearly, even across great
physical distance: the people of the UK are ready for
bold, progressive change.
x And if we can make the strides that we’ve made in
New York City from a campaign so humble in its
origins, imagine the feats that can come from this
great hall!
x But there’s a more sobering parallel I see as well….
It’s in the deepness of the crisis that we share.
29

x The numbers are alarming: in the UK, in 2011, the
average income of an adult in top 0.1 % (point one
percent) was more than 70 times that of someone in
the bottom 90%. [2011, World Income Database].
x The Guardian recently reported that the five richest
families in the UK have more wealth than the entire
bottom 20% of the country. And, as is the case in
New York City, the trend has been moving sharply in
the wrong direction. According to a study published
by Oxfam, since the 1990s, incomes of the top 0.1%
(point one percent) of Britons have grown four times
faster than those of the bottom 90%.
30

x Now let’s be clear: there’s nothing wrong with
attaining wealth. I’m happy to celebrate the success of
those who’ve earned it. But a status quo that leaves
millions of people behind is precluding so many
success stories from being written.
x And the stories of those struggling the hardest – those
of unpaid bills and sleepless nights – don’t fully
illuminate the severity of this crisis.
x Mounting disparities in income create ripple effects
that undermine whole economies. Here is just one
example of how:
31

x The Financial Times recently concluded that the
income gap between America’s richest and poorest
metropolitan regions is not only the widest it has ever
been, but that this phenomenon was QUOTE "shaping
an uneven housing recovery that threatens to hold
back the broader revival of the world’s largest
economy.”
x Indeed, in an increasingly interconnected world, a
system grounded in exclusivity is not sustainable for
ANYONE, including those at the very top. It is a
problem that hurts EVERYONE, whether they get it
or not.
32

x This Conservative government certainly doesn’t seem
to get it. Their top-down policies are making things
harder for working people every day.
x Among the many ways they’ve aggravated the wounds
of this crisis, the most painful might be their tax code.
x Instead of giving working families the leg-up they
deserve, they gave billions of tax cuts to the wealthiest
with the vague hope that money will magically trickle
down to everyone else. In my country, that’s an
approach we call voodoo economics. I have no doubt
the word “voodoo” sounds more elegant in a British
accent than an American one, but in any intonation,
we know it’s a policy that doesn’t work.
33

x So let me tell you about what does work. And you
don’t have to look far to see it. In fact, you heard it at
your own conference last night.
x Ed Miliband has so clearly articulated both the
challenges, and the opportunities this moment in
history creates for the British people.
x He knows that a cautious approach won’t do when it
comes to addressing the crisis of our time. He has a
BOLD vision for big change. As he said last night:
“I’m not talking about changing a policy, or simply a
different programme. But something that is bigger:
transforming the idea, the ethic, of how our country is
run.”
34

x Indeed, he knows well what needs to be done. As he
told this conference LAST YEAR: “We have to
rebuild anew One Nation. An economy built on your
success, a society based on your values, a politics that
hears your voice – rich and poor alike – accepting
their responsibilities to each other.”
x Ed Miliband will be a Prime Minister for everyone.
He will govern for Britons with second jobs and
second mortgages, not just those with second homes.
x He believes in politics of the MANY, not the few…
35

x Ed Miliband understands -- this Labour Party
understands – the true cost of a status quo that puts a
barrier between working people and prosperity… the
drag it creates on the economy… and on the lives of
families.
x And this Labour Party not only has the right values, it
has an agenda that translates values into action. Not
political talk, but a real plan that reforms the crux of
the economy to make Britain work for everyone.
x Labour has a plan for a tax code that rewards hard
work over existing wealth and power. A plan to end
the current government’s 3 billion pound tax cut for
the wealthiest and instead give tax relief to 24 million
middle and working class people….
36

x A plan that protects and STRENGTHENS – not
curtails – the NHS so that quality healthcare remains a
right and not a privilege…
x A plan that puts working people ahead of big
corporations by controlling energy costs, and taking
unprecedented steps to make housing more affordable.
x And a plan that provides 25 hours a week of free child
care to working parents of 3- and 4-year olds, and
another to expand after school programs, so that ALL
kids can get on a path to success and opportunity
early… and stay there.
37

x This agenda is a blueprint of what a fairer, more
prosperous, STRONGER United Kingdom will look
like.
x It recognizes that everyone’s future… Every child’s
future… MATTERS.
x That is not only why you MUST win, it is why you
WILL win!
x The upcoming election represents a choice for the
people of your country: build a United Kingdom that
rewards hard work and ensures the next generation
does better… Or continue down a path where a
privileged few do very well, while everyone else is left
to fend for themselves.
38

x To me, that choice is very clear, as I know it is to
people in this room… and as I know it will become to
everyday people across this country.
x But to those on the other side, who argue things work
BETTER when opportunity is scarce and exclusive, I
offer this thought: not even DARWIN was a social
Darwinist.
x Indeed, Charles Darwin, one of the greatest minds that
yours or any country ever produced, put it this way:
“If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of
39

x Among the cruelest false choices we are given is one
that says we can only move forward if some are left
behind. You don’t need to accept that. No one
should.
x The work ahead of you will be anything but easy… I
can assure you of that. That distinct histories written
on opposite ends of an ocean leave us, at this moment,
facing essentially the same crisis – underscores its
profound scale.
x But you have the power to overcome it.
x If you reject the cold complacency of the status quo,
its power will erode.
40

x If you speak hard truths, others will listen.
x If you empower the great people of your country to
speak THEIR truths, to speak out, to stand up and
ACT in the face of this crisis, then there is so much
good that you can achieve, together.
x And I believe you will.
x Thank you!

Jon I completely misunderstood. Thought you were talking about their intro of the Mayor.
You can do what you please with how you reference Miliband after he introduces the Mayor.

x I want to thank Ed Miliband for that wonderful
introduction. How about a hand for your next Prime
Minister! It was so inspiring to see his speech last
evening, though regrettably I was unable to be here in
person. He spoke so eloquently of not only the urgent
need for the UK to change course, but of the bold,
specific reforms needed to improve the lives of
working people. He believes so firmly in the politics
of the MANY, not the few, which is why he WILL be
such a great Prime Minister!

x It’s such an honor to be here with Mr. Miliband and
ALL the people who make this Labour Party what it
is. From he and the other rising stars who’ll lead
Labour to victory next year… to the everyday activists
whose unflinching passion and energy will fuel the
campaign.

George: Let’s talk about the other Clinton. The things you’re saying seem to be opposed to
both the idea of Pres Clinton (more moderate approach) but also very consistent with
liberal critique of his presidency, tilting toward Wall Street, home lenders, welfare reform,
nafta, etc. One could hear a rebuke of President Clinton.

Now, find the reference to "One Third of a Nation". My 86 year old aunt, who grew up
during the Depression, referenced this over Thanksgiving. It was a book or speech from
that time. Want to show the continuity with that stat you just sent

Note this passage, esp Schumer.
Some have been critical of Democrats for abandoning the populist message that once resonated
with blue-collar whites. That’s something they’ll have to fix if they hope to turn things around in
2016.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has started that conversation on the left, arguing that Democrats
misallocated their resources passing the healthcare law when they had majorities in both chambers.
They should have focused on the plights of the middle class after the economic meltdown, he
argued.

Sorry I didn’t respond to this - but in case there’s follow-up elsewhere - Landrieu ran away from Obama

$777,600.
The provision, inserted as a rider to the bill only hours before it was filed, would mark a
further erosion of campaign cash restrictions. They’ve been whittled away by recent
federal court rulings, most notably the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision.
Advocates for reducing the role of money in politics immediately called on President
Barack Obama to reject the rider, which one leading advocate, Fred Wertheimer,
decried as “written for millionaires and billionaires.”
But the rider would also provide a huge boost to the national parties — which some
campaign finance scholars see as having the potential to improve governance by
reducing political polarization.
The Democratic and Republican party committees have seen their clout plummet in
recent years as power and cash have migrated to outside groups empowered
by Citizens United and related decisions that allowed independent groups to raise and
spend unlimited cash on ads boosting favorite candidates or savaging their opponents.
By contrast, the maximum contributions the national party committees can accept
have ticked upward only slightly every two years to account for inflation. In 2014, a
donor could give $32,400 per year to each of the national party committees – the
Democratic National Committee, Republican National Committee, Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee, National Republican Senatorial Committee,
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the National Republican
Congressional Committee.
So, for example, a wealthy liberal could donate a maximum of $97,200 combined to
the three national Democratic Party committees. If they wanted to give more to a
national effort, they’d have to turn to one of the many liberal super PACs – such as
Tom Steyer’s NextGen Climate Action or the Harry Reid-linked Senate Majority PAC –
that are allowed to accept unlimited checks but are barred from coordinating with the
party committees or their candidates.
But under the rider, that same donor each year could give the $97,200 to the three
main committees, plus that same amount to as many as an additional seven accounts –
described as “separate, segregated” funds – set up within the committees:
ͻ ŽŶĞ ĂĐĐŽƵŶƚ set up by the DNC to fund its presidential nominating conventions.
ͻ ŽŶĞ ĂĐĐŽƵŶƚ ĞĂĐŚ ƐĞƚ ƵƉ ďǇ ƚŚĞ E͕ ^ ĂŶĚ ƚŽ ďƵǇ͕ ĐŽŶƐƚƌƵĐƚ Žƌ ŝŵƉƌŽǀĞ
the committees’ headquarters – including any building-related expenses incurred in
the last two years.
ͻ ŽŶĞ ĂĐĐŽƵŶƚ ĞĂĐŚ ƐĞƚ ƵƉ ďǇ ƚŚĞ E͕ ^ ĂŶĚ ƚŽ ĨƵŶĚ ĞůĞĐƚŝŽŶ ƌĞĐŽƵŶƚƐ͕

challenges and other legal proceedings.
Republicans, of course, would be able to set up the same such accounts.
While calculations of the rider’s impact differed in the hours after it was revealed, it
appeared that a single donor would be able to give at least $388,800 per year to the
various national committee accounts, and possibly as much as $777,600, depending on
how the language was interpreted.
Because the limits are for each year, that means that a single wealthy donor during a
two-year election cycle could potentially give a total of nearly $1.56 million to all the
various party committee funds if the rider is signed into law. Of course, that depends
on how it’s interpreted by election lawyers and the Federal Election Commission.
The rider caps at $20 million the amount the RNC and DNC could spend through their
separate segregated convention accounts on any given convention.
The convention piece of the provision is at least partly a response to a bill Obama
signed this year that eliminated public funding of the presidential nominating
conventions.
“Parties are now strapped without the public funds, so what this allow them to do is
turn to huge contributors who have a vested interest in the outcome of the election to
pay for this,” said David Donnelly, executive director of a group called Every Voice that
works to reduce the role of money in politics. “It is a further chipping away of the
contribution limits that were set for parties and a further shift towards large
contributions rather than raising a large number of contributions from regular
Americans,” Donnelly said, blaming Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, a
longtime opponent of campaign finance restrictions.
McConnell’s office said the rider was not added at his behest. And it appeared near the
very end of the 1,600-page bill, which Senate Democrats had been negotiating with
Republicans.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has indicated that the House could vote as early
as Thursday on the spending bill, which would fund the government through next
September.
McConnell, who will assume the role of Senate Majority Leader when the new
Congress is sworn in next year, had been pushing to attach a different rider that would
have empowered the party committees by removing restrictions on their ability to
interact with candidates.
That provision, which was opposed by the man McConnell is replacing as majority
leader, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, does not appear to have made it into the spending bill.

And Reid’s office told POLITICO he would not oppose the expanded contribution limits.
Ray La Raja, a University of Massachusetts professor who specializes in studying the

role of political parties, said the rider would allow party committees to pry back some
power and control from outside groups. “It gives the formal party organization and its
leaders more resources to bring data files and other campaign infrastructure back in
house, and that will give them more leverage. And it allows them to compete for
talent, and that means something. Right now, the best talent goes to these outside
groups.”
Lisa Gilbert, director of the congressional arm of the advocacy group Public Citizen,
called the rider “embarrassing” and asserted that empowering the parties wouldn’t
address concerns about the growing role of money in politics.
“The answer to out-of-control and unlimited outside spending by the super-rich and
giant corporations isn’t to enable out-of-control and virtually unlimited contributions
to parties – and, inevitably, candidates – but to get outside spending under control,”
she said.
If anything, she said, the deal would take the system back to the days of party soft
money, when corporations and unions could donate unlimited sums to the party
committees.
“Increasing these limits would only enable more dollars to pour into a system already
flooded with cash and would encourage higher independent expenditures in the
money arms race to counter them,” she said.

Inevitable Infighting
Welcome to the Democrats' Post-Obama Family

Feud
Dec 12, 2014 5:45 AM EST
The Progressive movement is in search of a leader and a voice to pressure Hillary Clinton to embrace
populist economic issues.
Lisa Lerer
It's turning out to be an awkward week for the Dean family. As former Vermont Governor Howard Dean
announced Wednesday that he would back a Hillary Clinton presidential bid, the progressive group he
founded declared that they were launching a major campaign to coax Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth
Warren into the race.
"Some of the other candidates may not be happy about this but they’ll thank us for it later," Jim Dean,
executive director of Democracy for America, and Howard's brother, said of the effort to woo Warren.
"Part of this is trying to wake the party up." His position couldn't be more different than his brother's, who
praised Clinton as a "mature, seasoned, thoughtful leader" in an editorial published by Politico that
morning.
As the Jims of the Democratic world are clamoring for an alternative to Clinton, the Howards are racing to
line up behind her even though she hasn't decided whether to run. The two powerful women at the center
of the discontent, however, are little more than indicators of a far broader family feud over the
Democratic party’s future heading into 2016. On one side of the debate are strategists and officials,
including some aligned with Clinton, who believe their path to the White House in the post-Obama era
rests with wooing centrist, working class voters. To progressive activists, union members, and other parts
of the "professional left," as an Obama aide once called them, victory lies in running on an aggressive,
populist economic message.
"I'm not saying there won't be a primary contest but I don't see any reasonable possibility that she could
be denied the Democratic nomination."
Former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland
"Some of the jockeying now is trying to strategically make sure Hillary understands that she can't be an
economic moderate without generating pushback," said Andy Stern, the former head of the Service
Employees International Union. "Progressives are anxious that her policies, not her heart, will be too
generous toward Wall Street."

That debate will take center stage this weekend, when liberal activists gather in Washington for
RootsCamp, an annual "unconference" that brings thousands of progressives to the Washington
Convention Center. A major topic in the hallways will be the announcement by liberal groups this week of
plans to spend more than a million dollars, including opening offices in the early primary states of Iowa
and New Hampshire, trying to convince beloved economic populist Warren to challenge Clinton. Despite
Warren's insistent refrain that she is not running for president, activists see a glimmer of hope. "She's
been very consistent in her statements saying she is not running present tense," said Neil Sroka, a
spokesman for Democracy for America. "Tense matters."
For now, though, progressives are a movement in search of a leader. With Clinton's take-over of the
Democratic party near complete, there's no national figure willing to take up their cry. Other than Warren,
former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, known for his principled stances against big money in politics, has
a government job already—working for the State Department that Clinton used to run. Maryland Governor
Martin O'Malley’s political clout was weakened by the midterm loss of his lieutenant governor in the race
to succeed him and the governor has pulled staff out of Iowa. Even Al Sharpton, who hammered Clinton
for taking weeks to comments on the racially-charged riots in Ferguson, Missouri, put out a press release
to brag about his birthday call from Clinton.
Of course, Clinton could decide not to run, Warren could change her mind, or any number of
unpredictable events that tend to scramble presidential races could upend the Democratic field. But, so
far, there's little sign that many Democrats are thirsting for a Clinton alternative. In Iowa, for instance, she
is the top candidate for 53 percent of likely Democratic caucusgoers, according to a Bloomberg Politics/Des
Moines Register poll. That's roughly five times bigger than Warren, who followed with 10 percent support
as a first pick of party insiders. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and independent, and former Virginia
Senator Jim Webb, who've expressed interest in running, trailed behind at three and one percent,
respectively. "If she chooses to run, and I hope she does, I think she will have no significant opposition,"
said Ted Strickland, the former Ohio Governor who now heads the Center for American Progress Action
Fund, the advocacy arm of a liberal think tank. "I'm not saying there won't be a primary contest but I don't
see any reasonable possibility that she could be denied the Democratic nomination."
Strickland, along with other Clinton-backers, sees commercial motives in the Draft Warren effort. "If
someone has said they are not a candidate for president, period, is it respectful or disrespectful to use
that person's name for their own purposes?" asked Des Moines lawyer Jerry Crawford, who co-chaired
Clinton's 2008 campaign in Iowa and helps lead Ready for Hillary, a group laying the groundwork for a
campaign, in the state. "If Secretary Clinton said she wasn't running, I wouldn't be out there disrespecting
her by engaging in a draft movement."
Unlike the Tea Party, which remains a powerful force in the Republican party, the influence of progressive
groups has waned during the Obama years. With the Senate soon to be in Republican control, progressives
aspire to become their own power center that can force Democrats to stand strong on economic issues. By
aligning themselves with Warren, who’s an outspoken advocate of Wall Street regulation, groups like
MoveOn not only grow membership lists and bank accounts, they also raise their profile. “Could there be
some self-serving motives behind this? Of course," said Strickland. "If you're not engaged in some kind of
specific effort, it's a little more difficult to keep support coming in."
While Warren is their billboard, the real target is likely Clinton. A history of pro-business economic policies
and a roster of rich Wall Street donors make progressive and union activists anxious about the direction of

her leadership and political loyalties. Though she has yet to announce a campaign, they're trying to send
the message that their concerns should not be taken for granted. "I think the fact that people are
encouraging a person who probably isn't going to run may just be a manifestation of wanting to make clear
that Secretary Clinton is not going to walk in and assume there's a coronation," said Stern. "She's going to
have to work it policy-wise, particularly on the economy"
That's no surprise, given that most Democrats have already turned their attention to Clinton. Operatives
are jockeying for jobs. Donors are eager to open their wallets. And politicians are rushing to position
themselves for a campaign that doesn't yet exist. Why should her progressive opposition be any different?

Cuomo's response is either classic Cuomo or actually might be helpful: he asked if I

wanted him to condemn PBA's action or get Lynch to apologize. My answer, from the
gut, was that the latter was better for moving this troubled dynamic in our city
forward. He said he would try. He suggested a breakfast mtg with him and lynch after
which lynch apologizes. I told him I was open to it, but doubted lynch would move

Linder and Bratton talking about tonight. Talked to Miller who thought it was disgusting and insane,
and is working on event options and media options for counter-messaging at cops, and thinking
about ways to get at Lynch directly.

Think Gov should condemn first. Agree with JDC/Peter/Tony on not elevating Lynch.
Would hate to give him leverage.
My two cents - Lynch doesn't deserve to be in same room as the Mayor, and for this
stunt to get him in a room would not be good for the world, even if he does apologize
for what he just did, because it would still validate his hair on fire "strategy"

Think Gov should condemn first. Agree with JDC/Peter/Tony on not

elevating Lynch. Would hate to give him leverage.
My two cents - Lynch doesn't deserve to be in same room as the Mayor,

and for this stunt to get him in a room would not be good for the world,
even if he does apologize for what he just did, because it would still
validate his hair on fire "strategy"

Cuomo's response is either classic Cuomo or actually might

be helpful: he asked if I wanted him to condemn PBA's
action or get Lynch to apologize. My answer, from the gut,
was that the latter was better for moving this troubled
dynamic in our city forward. He said he would try. He
suggested a breakfast mtg with him and lynch after which
lynch apologizes. I told him I was open to it, but doubted
lynch would move

Bratton is doing a presser at 5:30 re: Australia incident and re: post-Garner protests. He will have questions planted
re: PBA/funerals and SBA/"nincompoop" and he says he'll push back on both. He duly noted the Cardinal's op-ed -- I
think it helped him feel more ready to speak up, fwiw

Think Gov should condemn first. Agree with JDC/Peter/Tony on not elevating Lynch. Would hate to
give him leverage.
My two cents - Lynch doesn't deserve to be in same room as the Mayor, and for this stunt to get
him in a room would not be good for the world, even if he does apologize for what he just did,
because it would still validate his hair on fire "strategy"

I’m a little worried that a sit-down would put Lynch on same level as us & risks what Tony suggested - that
it’s somehow both of us apologizing…
My preference would be for us to, in our next high-level remarks on race/police-community relations,
pivot to something like this - that doesn’t call out Lynch specifically, but alludes to him...
“There are two approaches to public safety in our city.

"There’s the old model, that suggests the only way to reduce crime is to divide our city along racial lines by
word and deed; recognize and promote our hardworking and extremely skilled police officers based solely
on the number of arrests; shut out the voices of those who are mistrustful of law enforcement; and
suggest that those who seek to bridge that divide of distrust are somehow unappreciative, or even
dismissive, of the courage work that our officers do. In essence, it said, if you’re gonna make an omelette,
you’ve got to crack a few eggs.
“And there’s a new model, which I embrace, that calls that old model out for what it is: a false choice; a
reckless approach to police-community relations that has no connection to reality. Some of the same folks
who champion the old model are the very folks who said that this administration - by retraining our police
force to eliminate the abuse of stop-and-frisk and instead target the actual bad guys - would lead to a
huge spike in crime. On every major indicator, those folks have been proven wrong - terribly wrong.
"We have a long way to go, but by pursuing policies that recognize and promote police officers based on
how they are viewed by the communities they serve — their record of both protecting the neighborhoods
they patrol AND respecting the neighbors themselves.
“That is a 21st Century model for policing New York City - and one that Commissioner Bratton and I are
committed to.”
Something like that.

I agree it would be better for the city for Lynch to apologize -- even if it conveniently elevates AMC to
peacemaker above the fray -- but I assume the conditions of engagement would have to be very clear in
advance (i.e., it's not like both sides have apologize to each other).

Cuomo's response is either classic Cuomo or actually might be helpful: he asked if I

gut, was that the latter was better for moving this troubled dynamic in our city

which lynch apologizes. I told him I was open to it, but doubted lynch would move

Councilmember Jumaane Williams: "I

expected more from the Governor"
BY ANNIE KARNI
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Tuesday, December 16, 2014, 4:47 PM

Councilmember Jumaane Williams "expected more" from Gov. Cuomo.
The Brooklyn councilmember told the Daily News he was appalled by Cuomo's failure to chastise
Patrolmen's Benevolent Association chief Pat Lynch for actions that helped inflame tensions between the
police and City Hall.
In an interview on public radio's “Capitol Pressroom" Monday, Cuomo weighed in on Lynch's online
petition, where cops can request that Mayor de Blasio and Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito stay
away from their funerals if they are killed in the line of duty.
Cuomo explained that Lynch was reacting emotionally to anti-cop protests sweeping the country in the
wake of grand jury decisions in the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases.
“He was venting that emotion,” Cuomo said. “He is standing up for the police, which is his job, and making
the point that police need protection, too, in situations like this, and need respect and consideration in
situations like this.”
Cuomo referred to Lynch as a friend.
“There is no doubt that this is a difficult situation and there are strong feelings all around and expressing
those feelings is natural and may be cathartic," Cuomo said.
Williams said he was angered by Cuomo's comments.
"Pat Lynch is showing who he really is -- but I expected more from the Governor,” Williams told The News.
“I think everybody of good conscious is telling Pat Lynch he needs to be more responsible with his words.
Why the Governor wouldn't is appalling.”
Public Advocate Letitia James and Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito both declined to comment about
Cuomo’s comments. A City Hall spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

“I think people should be calling the Governor out," Williams said. “All of the leaders right now should be
trying to make the discourse productive. Pat Lynch has not been doing that. If the Governor is going to
chime in, he should be doing that."
On the radio, Cuomo also said he expected tensions to simmer. "We also have to remember at the end of
the day that we all work together and we all need one another and we’re talking about very seasoned
professionals, very responsible professionals," he said.
A spokeswoman for Cuomo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hi Matt,
Hope all is well. John’s schedule is fairly flexible over the next few days. Is there a time that works well for
Penny on either Thursday or Friday afternoon?
Many thanks,
Liz

Hello, Mr. Del Cecato.

I am writing with the hope that we might schedule a call between you and Penny
Abeywardena, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs. She is
responsible for conveying the Mayor’s message to a global audience and would
appreciate your expertise. Would you please let me know when there is a good time to
speak?
Best regards,
Matt

On a routine basis, I only need my half hour with him each week. More generally, I would like to
hold an hour or two each week for substantive issue meetings that have some time sensitivity (i.e.,
we have to decide MTA strategy before the fare vote, he wants to discuss our CUNY options, we
need to discuss upcoming labor issues, etc.). Hard to imagine government policy matters will not
consume an hour a week or two a week of his time – we can’t just do these on the fly. I will work to
keep things within the limited timeframe allocated.

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to follow up from our conversation on Thursday evening to put together the entire
months of January and February. Can you please send to me directly your full time
requests, mapped out week-by-week. As an example:
Week of January 11th – 10 Hours of Call Time

Week of January 11th – 5-7 Hours of Albany Relationship Building
Week of January 18th – 10 Hours of Workout
Please submit your plan by noon on Sunday. We will be doing a follow up call with the
Mayor on Monday or Tuesday per his request.
I have Dean’s requests already – so he gets an A+.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Michael

MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO,

POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE
MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2014
x Honored to be here with Police Athletic League as it ends

100th year
x But saddened it is on day all of NYC mourning two fallen

heroes
o Rafael Ramos
o Wenjian Liu
x Brave and good men, devoted to families and New York

City
x Murdered in cold blood simply for wearing NYPD uniform

and badge
o And putting lives on line to protect city they loved
x Those shots through patrol car window on Myrtle Ave.

Saturday afternoon did not just kill Officers Ramos and Liu
...
x They wounded every New Yorker

2
x And today, we are all in pain
[SPACE]
x Before continue, profound thanks to all of New Yorkers

who rose to challenge Saturday
o Police on scene who pursued assailant until he took

his own life
o EMT’s, doctors, nurses, staff who so heroically

transported and cared for Officers Ramos and Liu
x And would like to acknowledge

[ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO BE ADDED: INCLUDE JOHN
CATSIMATEDES AND RICKI KLEIMAN]
[SPACE]
x Saturday’s killings were an assassination – and an attack of

civilized society
x But most of all, unspeakable tragedy for families

3
x What should have been ordinary day on beat ended with

two grieving widows and child without father
x Saturday, Commissioner Bratton and I met with Officer

Ramos’s wife and 13-year old son
o And Officer Liu’s wife of 2 months
x As father and husband, no sadder moment than Saturday

at Woodhull Hospital seeing toll a man on a mad mission
of hate . . .
x . . . took on two such loving families
x Now not a time for politics or pushing agendas
x No place for those who would pit New Yorker against New
Yorker
o Or use this tragedy to score points

4
x Let no one suggest that a fellow New Yorker caused this

mad act. Or that a political debate did.
o I know emotions are raw – but that is a departure

from fact, an assault on City these officers loved
x Out of respect for families, asking for no protests during

period of mourning
x For the families, for the City, this is a time to heal
[SPACE]
x Before Saturday’s tragic events, was planning to talk

about a different subject – and now more relevant,
more urgent than ever
x Wanted to talk about a Tale of Two NYPD’s
o NYPD we read about in newspapers, see on TV . . .

5
o And NYPD we rarely do
x First, the NYPD we have seen in the news this past year
x Year in which police departments nationwide in

spotlight
x Ferguson, Staten Island incidents have started national

conversation about policing, police-community relations
x Not always easy conversation, but valuable one

x In a democracy, we hold our offices with consent of
people, and people should be heard on how city run
x In conversation, I have tried to keep focus on practical

question of how we improve – how we reform
x How tear down walls between police and community –

and build bridges

6
x Reforms not about mere niceties – not “community

relations”
x Get at something very profound about policing: its

legitimacy and strength come from connection to
community
x A matter of fundamentally orienting policing in the

direction it must go
o To be legitimate
o To be effective
[SPACE]
x Fortunately, no Police Department in country more

reform-oriented than NYPD
x Say often NYPD is best police force in world
o And we have crime stats to prove it

7
Crime down another 5% this year
x But also most innovative police department in country
o It is in our DNA
x Under Teddy Roosevelt, who led NYPD in late 1800s,

New York a leader in the use of fingerprints
x More recently, NYPD developed CompStat, now model

for the nation
x And in October unveiled $160 million new technology

initiative
o Providing every officer with smart phones
o And thousands of patrol cars with ruggedized tablets

[SPACE]
x 2014 a year of tremendous reform of policing methods,

under excellent leadership of Commissioner Bratton

8
x Promised to fundamentally reform “Stop and frisk” policy,

and we did
o In 2011, nearly 700,000 stops, on track for fewer than

50,000 this year
x Changed policy on low-level marijuana arrests – and

arrests down nearly 65% since policy changed
x And Commissioner Bratton committed this summer to

retrain every officer
o To make sure best training in use of force, community

relations
x While we have done these things, by all measures policing

getting better
x In addition to that 5% drop in crime . . .
x . . . Complaints filed with CCRB down nearly 10% this year

– and force complaints down 11.4%

9
x Story of a world-class department moving even further in

right direction
[SPACE]
x Now, want to talk about that second NYPD – one we don’t

hear enough about
x Overwhelming majority of NYPD – who not only do jobs

with great professionalism – but care deeply about people
of NYC – especially young people
x That is ethos – driving spirit – behind Police Athletic

League
x Founded in 1914 by Police Commissioner Arthur Woods in

large part to “reduce tensions between officers and youth
x Police brought needy children in their precincts to places

that could help them
o And closed off streets so children in crowded

neighborhoods had places to play

10
x All about helping to build bonds between young people

and police – and keeping disadvantaged young people
on the right track
x Now serves 40,000 children in all 5 boroughs – primarily

high-risk youth in most under-served communities
x We also see this spirit of concern for, partnership with

community in so many parts of NYPD:
o 77 NYPD Community Councils, one in each

precinct, which bring community members and
Commanding Officer together regularly to discuss
neighborhood policing
o Citizens Police Academy, 14-week program offered

twice a year, giving community intensive lessons in
policing
o Youth programs, like NYPD Summer Youth Police

Academy and Law Enforcement Explorers
[SPACE]

11
x But greatest untold story of NYPD is individual officers in

every part of City not only doing jobs with enormous
skill, bravery, and professionalism . . .
x . . . But showing extraordinary compassion for people of

NYC
x Want to mention two today – who represent what I

consider the real spirit of NYPD
x #1: One is Det. Patrick Blanc in Jamaica, Queens who

started own non-profit, “Embrace Ya Kidz”
x For past 6 years, has served Thanksgiving meals on

streets of Queens
x Held coat drives, distributed hundreds of toys to NYC

kids
x Last month, when learned of mother who just lost two

kids in a fire – raised money for funeral and went to
Haiti to personally escort grieving grandmother to NYC

12
x Det. Blanc says: “If we can just do our part one block at
a time I think we can change the world”
x #2: Second person want to talk about is Joanne Jaffe
o Now three-star chief – highest-ranking female chief

in the department
x Joined NYPD in 1979, walked beat in East New York –

very tough assignment
x On Palm Sunday, 1984, Officer Jaffe responded to mass
shooting in East New York
o Went in with gun drawn – found 10 dead and a

crying, bloody 13-month old child
x Officer Jaffe took little girl, Christina Rivera, to hospital,

and afterward remained in her life
x Became surrogate parent – and at age 14, Christina

moved in with officer and her husband

13
x Last year, Officer Jaffe legally adopted Christina
x Christina now grown up – and an auxiliary police officer
x And very proud to say Commissioner Bratton tapped to

lead NYPD Community Affairs Bureau
[SPACE]
x Detective Blanc and Captain Jaffe – and yes, Officers

Ramos and Liu – represent the real NYPD
o Not only the finest, but the most decent police
force in the world
x Today, as the pain of Saturday’s events is still fresh, so

many of us are wondering what we can do to honor the
memories of the two fine men we lost
x First, let us do everything in our power to support and

protect brave men and women of the NYPD
x If anyone hears or sees a threat – online, in person –

must report it at once

14
x And City must take every measure it can to ensure

safety of our men and women in blue
x Let us express our gratitude for sacrifice of two fallen

heroes whose lives were tragically cut short Saturday . .
x With our appreciation for 35,000 living heroes of the

NYPD, who continue to put lives on line for us every day
[SPACE]
x Let us also do something more: honor memory of
Officers Ramos and Liu by being best city we can be
x NYC’s strength always that it is city of great diversity,

but one focused on what unites us than divides us
x In these challenging times, let us rededicate ourselves to

common values we cherish

15
o Rule of law
o Respect for all people
o Moving forward together
x What I believe Cardinal Dolan was suggesting in Mass

yesterday that New York City can be – like Bethlehem in
Biblical times – a place from which comes “light, unity,
and life.”
[SPACE]
x New York City is that city – and we will remain that city
x And we ensure that by rededicating ourselves to the

things that unite us rather than the things that divide us
x And by emphasizing, always, our common humanity

Number Five is courtesy of Rosen… If we’re committed to calling for The Big Pause (something I’m still

Subject: Re: Pls review closely- updated remarks
Much better - thanks.
Couple of things:
1. I don’t think this is quite right. Maybe just repeat his line from Saturday - this wasn’t just an
unthinkable attack on two brave police officers; it was an attack on all New Yorkers.
Shots through patrol car window Saturday did not just kill Officers Ramos and Liu -- wounded every New
Yorker
2. Bratton’s “spin-off” comment on the Today Show isn’t what Bratton meant (at least in my opinion). I
don’t think he was trying to suggest a link between the murders and the protests. I think he was saying
how disgusting it was for a deranged individual to USE the protests as a bogus way of explaining his violent
spree, which began before he wrote that (when he shot his ex-girlfriend). As Kareem Abdul-Jabar said, it’s

like linking Cather in the Rye to the murder of John Lennon. Just because a madman offers that up as their
excuse doesn’t mean we should accept it. (Probably not something for MBDB’s official remarks - but for
Q&A, and possibly for NYT op-ed).
3. I don’t like the following line because it sounds like we’re saying the protests pit New Yorker against
New Yorker.
No place for those who would pit New Yorker against New Yorker
4. I’m still not sold on The Big Pause, for two reasons: a) sounds like we’re connecting peaceful protests to
the murders, when they are NOT connected in reality; b) it forces us to “own” the protests; c) we’re sort of
implying that the protests should continue after the funerals are over. But I think I’ve been overruled on
that one - just wanted to spell out my thinking more clearly than I did from the car yesterday.
5. Finally - a thought - maybe for this speech:
As we enter a week of grief and mourning, I want to urge all New Yorkers to stand in solidarity with
these families. To show them that all New Yorkers share their pain; to tell these families that our
whole city, with one heart, honors the service of their father, their son, their husbands…and grieves
with them.
There will be a time to return to the debates of these past weeks – but that time is not now while
these families and our whole city is in mourning.
So I would urge those who have protested, AND those who have been vocal against those protests,
to step back this week…let’s turn our thoughts to our common identity…as New Yorkers. Let’s reach
across the divide and find what unites us. Let’s devote this week to honoring the service of these
two brave men.
(Maybe urge people to approach officers this week and thank them for their service, etc.) ?

MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO,

POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE
MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2014
• Honored to be with Police Athletic League as concludes

100th year
Saddened on day mourning heroes: Rafael Ramos,

Wenjian Liu
Murdered for wearing NYPD uniform, badge
Shots through patrol car window Saturday did not just kill
Officers Ramos and Liu -- wounded every New Yorker
Today, we are all in pain
[SPACE]
• Profound thanks to:
o Police who pursued assailant

o Con Ed workers on scene who heroically helped give
chase
o EMT’s, doctors, nurses, staff at Woodhull Hospital
• And would like to acknowledge

[ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO BE ADDED: INCLUDE JOHN
CATSIMATEDES AND RICKI KLEIMAN]
[SPACE]
Saturday’s killings attack on civilized society, but most of
all tragedy for families
• Saturday, Commissioner Bratton and I met with Officer

Ramos’s wife and 13-year old son, Officer Liu’s wife at
hospital
o Painful to see effect of madman’s hate on 2 loving

families
• Now, for families, for City, time to heal
• Now not a time for politics or pushing agendas
• No place for those who would pit New Yorker against

New Yorker

• Out of respect for families, ask for no protests during
period of mourning
[SPACE]
• Want to talk today about NYPD that so many New Yorker
see every day – NYPD that PAL embodies
• So many people think first of NYPD as world’s best police

department – which it is
• Have crime stats to prove it – Crime down another 5%

this year – City never safer
• Also have great history of being on cutting edge of law

enforcement – reform in its DNA
• A leader in the use of fingerprints in 1800s, more recently

inventor of CompStat
• And in October unveiled $160 million new technology

initiative
• 2014 a year of tremendous reform, under excellent

leadership of Commissioner Bratton
• Fundamentally changed “Stop and frisk” policy:
o In 2011, nearly 700,000 stops, on track for fewer than

50,000 this year
• Changed policy on low-level marijuana arrests:

o Arrests down nearly 65% since policy changed
• And Commissioner Bratton committed this summer to

retrain every officer on use of force, community relations
• While have done these things, by every measure policing

getting better
• In addition to 5% drop in crime, CCRB complaints down

nearly 10% this year – and force complaints down 11.4%
[SPACE]
• But there is also another side of NYPD – One New Yorkers
across City know well
• Men and women of NYPD not only do jobs with great

professionalism – but care deeply about people of NYC –
especially young people
• That is driving spirit behind Police Athletic League
• Founded in 1914 by Police Commissioner Arthur Woods

in large part to “reduce tensions between officers and
youth
• Now serves 40,000 children in all 5 boroughs
• See concern for community in so many parts of NYPD:
o 77 NYPD Community Councils, one in each precinct –

bring community members, Commanding Officer
together

o Citizens Police Academy, 14-week program for
community
o Youth programs like NYPD Summer Youth Police

Academy and Law Enforcement Explorers
• But greatest story of NYPD is individual officers in every

part of City not only doing jobs with skill, bravery, and
professionalism . . .
• . . . but showing extraordinary compassion for people of

NYC
• Want to mention two today – who represent real spirit of

NYPD
• #1: Det. Patrick Blanc in Jamaica, Queens who started

own non-profit, “Embrace Ya Kidz”
• For past 6 years, has served Thanksgiving meals on

streets of Queens
• Held coat drives, distributed hundreds of toys to NYC kids
• Last month, when learned of mother who just lost two

kids in fire raised money for funeral and went to Haiti to
personally escort grieving grandmother to NYC
• Det. Blanc says: “If we can just do our part one block at a
time I think we can change the world”
• #2: Joanne Jaffe, now three-star chief – highest-ranking

female chief in the department

• Joined NYPD in 1979, walked beat in East New York – very
tough assignment
• On Palm Sunday, 1984, responded to mass shooting in

East New York – found 10 dead and a crying, bloody 13-
month old child
• Took little girl, Christina Rivera, to hospital, afterward

remained in her life
• Became surrogate parent – and last year, Chief Jaffe

legally adopted Christina
• Christina now grown up – and an auxiliary police officer
• And very proud: this year Commissioner Bratton tapped

Chief Jaffe to lead NYPD Community Affairs Bureau
[SPACE]
• Detective Blanc and Chief Jaffe – and yes, Officers Ramos
and Liu – represent real NYPD
o Not only finest, but most decent police force in world
[SPACE]
• Today, as pain of Saturday’s events still fresh, so many of

us wondering what can do to honor memories of two fine
men we lost
• First, let us do everything in power to support and

protect brave men and women of the NYPD

• If anyone hears or sees threat against NYPD must report
it at once
• And City must take every measure can to ensure safety of

police
• Let us also do something more: honor memory of Officers

Ramos and Liu by being best city can be
• Family of Officer Ramos called for “peaceful coexistence”

– honor him by that
• NYC’s strength always that it is city of great diversity, but

one focused on what unites us than divides us
• In these challenging times, let us rededicate ourselves to

common values we cherish:
o Rule of law
o Respect for all people
o Moving forward together
[SPACE]
• Cardinal Dolan said in Mass yesterday New York City can

be – like Bethlehem in Biblical times – place from which
comes “light, unity, and life.”

• New York City is that city – and we will remain that city
• Ensure that by rededicating ourselves to the things that

unite us rather than the things that divide us
• And by emphasizing, always, our common humanity

Blood on his hands?
Quite the opposite. Grief on his mind, and resolve to protect New Yorkers - both police officers and
everyday residents - in his heart. Those who say otherwise are employing the most despicable of tactics -
exploiting the deaths of our brothers in uniform to help advance a transparently political agenda.

Sharing the overarching TPs we're using w/ surrogates as FYI --
A TIME TO COME TOGETHER FOR THE CITY
· The tragedy that occurred Saturday afternoon was caused by a violent, deranged
person who decided to, because of his own illnesses and problems, launch an awful
spasm of destruction.
· The reforms that the de Blasio Administration has discussed have never been
about punishing police. They have been about bringing the police and the
communities they serve closer together. These are reforms that are good for both
community residents, AND good for the police.
· Those who want commonsense reforms that make us all safer and united -
including police - should not be confused with the actions of a sick murderer.
· We have seen tens of thousands of people express their views over the past 2-3
weeks peacefully and non-violently. That is an accomplishment we should all be
proud of.
· And before Saturday we had already sent a clear message that violence of any
kind in protests - against citizens, against police, against property - was
unacceptable and would not be tolerated. There is no ambiguity about violence.
And, what’s more, the vast majority of New Yorkers (including many who protested)
were sickened by what happened to PO Ramos and PO Liu.
· These are tragic times, and people are understandably angry and sad. Emotions
are running high.
· Our focus must be on the families and friends of the fallen and their extended
NYPD family.
· The Mayor has urged a pause in political debates and protests until the funerals.
He is focused on what we as a City must do to help the NYPD and the families of
POs Ramos and Liu, and we stand ready to assist in any way we can.
In response to questions on the Mayor & PBA:
The Mayor has worked to build a culture of tolerance and be a steady voice for
needed reforms, while being explicit in his deep respect of those in uniform.
[As many NYC journalists have noted these last few days, he has not uttered a single
bad word about the NYPD.]

The Mayor has demonstrated this in word and deed -
He was clear during protests that violence of any kind would not be tolerated.
And this year, he's invested an hundreds of millions in the NYPD’s budget to enhance
and expand training, provide technology that will protect both officers and our
communities, improve facilities, and much more.

Esp with MK, feel like we really need to walk through all
potential Q and A. Trying to think like Joe. We're not going to
have Mika there, so could be tough for the Beep.
Do you agree that he has lost the Police?
De Blasio is like Obama in that it doesn’t matter how

much he achieves, he just can’t communicate his
success. How does he get past this?
What can the mayor do to fix this?

Why does he have such a problem with whites?

Do you agree that

he has lost the
Police?
De Blasio is like
Obama in that it
doesn’t matter
how much he
achieves, he just
can’t
communicate his
success. How
does he get past
this?
What can the

mayor do to fix
this?
Why does he have

such a problem
with whites?

A New Model for Policing
By Bill de Blasio
DRAFT
In the midst of a holiday season we look to with joy, New Yorkers from all walks of
life are sharing in grief.
The tragic, senseless killings of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos have
shaken our city to its core. These proud and courageous public servants wanted
nothing more than to honor their vow to protect and to serve. They wanted to keep
their community safe from harm, and to continue the nearly unimaginable success
that New York’s Finest have achieved in driving crime in our city to a record low – a
five percent reduction in serious crime from last year, with the lowest number of
homicides since the City began keeping records.
As Mayor, I’ve now had to console the families of these two slain police officers, and
the family of Staten Islander Eric Garner.
While the circumstances of these tragedies were different, the shock and grief and
heartbreaking sense of loss expressed by their families were very much the same.
We are a city that mourns the loss of life. A city that expresses the raw emotion that
we feel – the anger, the sadness, the sense of injustice – in different ways – some
constructive, some destructive.
But at this moment, we remember New York City is one family – a family that will
come together in common cause in light of the long view – dedicated to building
bridges of understanding that can and must prevent future tragedies from tearing us
apart again.
Our police officers do a dangerous and essential, but often thankless job. And
striking the right balance between rigorously protecting public safety and
respecting individuals is part of what makes the job so challenging. It must be done
with extraordinary care and restraint. In turn, our police deserve our gratitude and
our respect.
It is also true that many times, young men of color are considered suspect simply
because of how they look, and sometimes that leads to tragedies like the ones we've
seen so often. That sense of distrust doesn't make policing any easier. It makes it
more difficult. It makes it more dangerous.
This tug between public safety and civil rights are not mutually exclusive. In fact,
the opposite is true.
Building a partnership between police and the communities they serve is actually a

strategy for driving crime down even further, and protecting both residents and
officers alike.
When every neighborhood in New York greets the sound of sirens with a sense of
relief instead of anxiety, it encourages neighbors to work with law enforcement to
prevent crime, and to more quickly prosecute acts of violence. When officers know
that residents respect the job that they do, it fosters a sense of partnership in
purpose, rather than an assumption of hostility.
And that is the goal to which we as city must work.
We’ve made some early progress – reducing the number of stop-and-frisks from
700,000 two years ago to less than 50,000 today (CHECK). We’ve begun a thorough
retraining of our police officers, from top to bottom. We’ve worked to free our cops
from cumbersome and counterproductive ticket-writing quotas, and equip them
instead with the tools they need to target dangerous crime – like shot-spotter, body
cameras, and other technologies made possible by a XXX increase in the police
budget.
As a city, we must also rethink what we are asking our police department to do to
keep us safe.
The old model has its roots in a New York City beset by thousands of murders a
year; a crack cocaine epidemic; street corners that even our cops found too
dangerous to enter. It was an era gripped by fear – fear from residents in high-
crime neighborhoods, fear from those in safer neighborhoods located nearby, fear
from officers facing a crime wave that some saw as irreversible.
We will never, ever return to those days. But neither will we let our memories of a
bygone era unwisely dictate the way we police our streets today.
The modern NYPD is more diverse than ever before. Our most recent tragedy
shined a light on that fact, with our Latino and Asian communities mourning the loss
of officers who shared their ethnicity.
Today, we look to the city we hope to build – a new model, based upon the long view
– a model centered on trust instead of fear. We commit to driving down crime even
further, by building a stronger relationship between cops and communities. To that
end, we will recognize and celebrate and promote police officers not simply by
studying statistics and arrest numbers, but by gauging how the residents of a
precinct view those that patrol their precinct. Is there a mutual respect between an
officer and the neighborhood? Is law enforcement targeting those that present a
real danger, while protecting the rights of those who present little or none?

That new model – one that promotes constructive dialogue, respectful policing, and
the security of those we entrust to keep all of us safe – is the path to a stronger and
more secure city.
This renewal of police-community relations will not happen overnight. After

decades of distrust – the product of both disorder and disrespect – it will take years
for us to get where we, as one city, need to go.
But we will get there -- not through vitriolic words or vicious scapegoating or
violent protest – but through conversation and collaboration and a long view
commitment to safety and justice for every New Yorker.
And we will get there together.

o Fellow members of NYPD
x Rafael was a great New Yorker – a

lifelong Brooklynite --- whose life
revolved around three great passions
x One was his family
x Deep love of his wife Maritza, his high

school sweetheart, love of his life
x Enormous love of, pride in, his two

sons
x Justin, his oldest,

3
x And Jayden, youngest, who became a
family spokesman in most modern way
o A tribute he wrote to his father

went viral on the Internet
o Began simply: “He was the best

father I could ask for”
x Rafael cherished time he could spend

with his family
o Cheering for the Mets, playing

basketball with sons in Highland
Park, blasting Spanish gospel
music from car
x Rafael also came from a big, warm,

extended family

4
o When he was at the hospital, there
was barely enough room for all of
the relatives who showed up
x Rafael played special role in family:

mediator, one people trusted to settle
disputes and make peace
[SPACE]
x Rafael’s second great passion: his faith
x So much of his life revolved around

this church, this spiritual community
x Embraced idea that: “If your way isn’t

working, try God’s way”
x Spent last 10 weeks of life studying to

be a chaplain – and was taken from us
day he was to graduate

5
x Said so much about who Rafael was
that he wanted to serve people
spiritually while on the police force
x And was already thinking about life of

religious service after he left the force
[SPACE]
x Rafael’s final passion: work for NYPD
x He always wanted to join the

Department – although that was not his
first career
x Before joining NYPD, was school

safety officer – a beloved one
x But Rafael did not give up on his

dream, and two years ago finally joined
the NYPD

6
x Not many people excited to take a test,
but Rafael couldn’t wait for NYPD test
x Because for him, opportunity to serve

City as a Police Officer was literally a
dream come true
x He died doing something that was so

central to his life: protecting others
[SPACE]
x One of the most beautiful verses in the

Bible is also one of simplest
x From the Sermon on the Mount:

“Blessed are the peacemakers”
x Could have been said with Rafael in

mind

7
x He was the peacemaker in his large
family – as well as its moral center
x Peacemaker in Church, working every

day to spread message of faith and love
x And peacemaker for City of New York
x A reason police officers called “peace

officers” – they keep City peaceful
x Rafael put his life on the line every

day, so that his fellow New Yorkers
could go about their lives in safety
o Knowing that if trouble ever

struck, someone like Rafael would
be there to rescue them
x Rafael’s life was tragically cut short

8
x But his memory will live on in the
hearts of his family, his church, and his
brothers and sisters in the NYPD
x And of millions of New Yorkers, who

mourn that he was taken so soon – and
are eternally grateful for his sacrifice
x A few words in Spanish:

Nueva York está de lúto por la muérte de
uno de sus mejóres hijos, Rafael Rámos.
Rafael Rámos era un padre y espóso
amoróso, un hombre de mucha fe, y un
valiénte policía que murió miéntras trabajába
en mantenér a nuestra ciudad segura.

9
Su vída refléja las palábras de la bíblia:
“Bién-avén-turá-dos los que pro-cú-ran la
paz.”
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
New Yorkers are mourning the loss of

one of our finest, Rafael Ramos
He was a loving husband and father, a

man of great faith, and a brave police
officer, who died while keeping the city
safe.
His life embodies the words of the Bible:

“Blessed are the peacemakers.”

Thanks, John. This was the level of detail we got from the family. I am wary about using
a eulogy to do anything but praise/mourn the disceased. I would rather people say
there was too little messaging on larger issues than too much. Also: other occasions
coming up soon for broader themes.

HOW ABOUT THESE?
Draft Remarks for NYPD Graduation:

(IF BOOED)
I know why you are booing me. I also know I’m not the only Mayor
who has been booed by the police department.
And I know why some officers have turned their back on me and the
people who elected me Mayor, your fellow citizens.
You’re feeling a lot of pain right now. And no one person is going to
make that go away. I can only begin understand what that feels like.
But in the aftermath of this tragedy, you’ve been misled and presented
with a false choice by forces that want to divide this city and its police
department.
You’ve been told that when leaders like me and Commissioner Bratton
say we can create a new and better relationship with the police
department and the community of New York, that this is an attack on
you.
It’s not.
To all you new Police Officers, I say join with us. Join with
Commissioner Bratton; join with Cardinal Dolan and Reverend Bernard.
Join with Eric Adams and Melinda Katz. Join with your local precinct
councils. Join with your fellow officers and all of the people of this city
who are committed to improving their safety and thereby yours.

In many ways, Police officers have the hardest job in the city. You
didn’t create domestic violence. You didn’t create the drug dealing and
the racism and the poverty we face in this country. But you have to
deal with it. Not in an abstract way, but at its reality. We can never be
thankful enough for what you do.
But we try.
Over the past few days, some police officers have turned their back on
me, and since I was elected by your fellow New Yorkers, they’ve
turned their back on all of us.
Let me be very clear. We will not turn our back on you. Ever.
If anyone threatens a police officer and hurts a police officer, we will
find them. We will arrest them. We will make sure they pay a steep
price.
We honor New Yorkers abilities to exercise free speech. Even if we
deplore what they’re saying. NYPD has shown the world that in
America we take the constitution that you just swore to upheld very
seriously. And it sets us apart from everyone else in the world.
One other thing. Sometimes, things have happened to police officers
that aren’t fair.
I don’t think its fair that the police department has not had a labor
contract with the city of New York for many years now. I’m not going
to blame anyone. I am going to work everyday to fix it.
I also don’t think it was fair for political forces in Albany to reduce the
pensions and disability payments for those who wear uniforms for New
York City. If you know anything about me, you should know I want
every single person who works for the city to get a fair shake.
I’m going to work with the city council and leaders in Albany to right
that wrong for you and your brothers and sisters.
It’s something that we can fix together.
In the coming days, we are going to lay to rest yet another police
officer, who was killed by a criminal madman.

On Saturday, I invoked the Sermon on the Mount when talking about
Officer Ramos. Blessed are the peacemakers. You are all going to be
peacemakers.
Let join together and lay aside the false choice that you’ve been
offered.
Let’s make a choice together. You are all new on the job. Let’s choose
a new path together.

the retraining - ensure all of you officers have the absolute finest technology and training possible so
you can do your job to keep us safe - that's my solemn pledge to you.

Molly Ball from The Atlantic reached out to do a profile on the Mayor.
Not sure where we are with the national push – I imagine we are on hold on some level
– but she wants to do the story that I think the Boss would like a lot.
She read his op-ed and is really interested in his progressive message and what it
represents.
I’ve worked with her a lot over the years and do believe this could be a good story
with a nice slant.
She’s looking for an interview and hoping for some time in the next month.

But I still kept a lot of the principles and policies behind our police reform
agenda in there. I separated the deplorable actions into three parts:
violent/hateful protestors; abusive/overly aggressive cops; and a deranged
individual who denigrated the peaceful protest movement.
I also called out Lynch and company, but not by name or specific affront. That

I also tried to shine a bright light on both the reforms we’re doing AND the

UNTITLED2
By Bill de Blasio
DRAFT
In the midst of a holiday season we look to with joy, New

Yorkers from all walks of life are sharing in grief.
The tragic, senseless killings of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and

Rafael Ramos have shaken our city to its core. These proud and
courageous public servants wanted nothing more than to honor
their vow to protect and to serve. They wanted to keep their
community safe from harm, and to continue the nearly
unimaginable success that New York’s Finest have achieved in
driving crime in our city to a record low -- a five percent
reduction in serious crime from last year, with the lowest
number of homicides since the City began keeping records.
We are a city that mourns the loss of life. A city that expresses
the raw emotion that we feel – the anger, the sadness, the sense
of injustice – in different ways – some constructive, some
destructive.
But at this moment, we remember New York City is one family

– a family that will come together in common cause in light of
the long view – dedicated to building bridges of understanding
that can and must prevent future tragedies from tearing us
apart again.
Our police officers do a dangerous and essential, but often

thankless job. And striking the right balance between
rigorously protecting public safety and respecting individuals is
part of what makes the job so challenging. It must be done with
extraordinary care and restraint. In turn, our police deserve
our gratitude and our respect.
It is also true that many times, young men of color are

considered suspect simply because of how they look, and
sometimes that leads to tragedies like the ones we've seen.
That sense of distrust doesn't make policing any easier. It
makes it more difficult.
The question we must ask ourselves is this: how do we keep

EVERY New Yorker safe – whether black, white, Latino, or
Asian; whether they wear a uniform, or a hoodie with baggy
jeans; whether they are the targets of overaggressive policing,
subjects of ugly, hate-filled taunts or despicable violent protests;
or victims of a deranged individual who shamefully uses
peaceful protests as a cover for his acts of unthinkable evil.
This tug between public safety and civil rights are not mutually
exclusive. In fact, the opposite is true.
Building a partnership between police and the communities

they serve is actually a strategy for driving crime down even
further, and protecting both residents and officers alike.
When police see residents of their precincts as dedicated to the

same mission – targeting violence and lawlessness – they are
better able to serve the neighborhoods with the professionalism
they exemplify. When neighbors see officers as respectful and
restrained, they can assist law enforcement in the effort to lock
up the criminals and avoid bad contacts with innocent
individuals.
Our goal is tackling crime together, and building mutual trust.

And that is the goal to which we as city must work.
We’ve made some early progress – reducing the number of

stop-and-frisks from 700,000 two years ago to less than 50,000
today (CHECK). We’ve begun a thorough retraining of our
police officers, from top to bottom. We’ve worked to free our
cops from cumbersome and counterproductive ticket-writing
quotas, and equip them instead with the tools they need to
target dangerous crime – like using GPS to pinpoint gunshots,
fitting police with body cameras, and tapping other technologies
made possible by a XXX increase in the police budget. And we
will be proposing measures to literally bring officers in closer
regular contact with those they serve, offering subsidies to cops
who choose to live in the city, and – like so many other New

Yorkers – struggle with the soaring cost of housing.
As a city, we must also rethink what we are asking our police

department to do to keep us safe.
The old model has its roots in a New York City beset by
thousands of murders a year; a crack cocaine epidemic; street
corners that even our cops found too dangerous to enter.
We will never, ever return to those days. But neither will we let
our memories of a bygone era predetermine the right way to
police our streets in the modern era.
Today’s NYPD is more diverse than ever before. Our most

recent tragedy shined a light on that fact, with our Latino and
Asian communities mourning the loss of officers who shared
their ethnicity.
So we look to the city we hope to build – a new model, based

upon the long view – a model centered on trust instead of fear.
To that end, we will recognize and celebrate and promote police
officers not simply by studying statistics and arrest numbers,
but by gauging how the residents of a precinct view those that
patrol their precinct. Is there a mutual respect between an
officer and the neighborhood? Is law enforcement targeting
those that present a real danger, while protecting the rights of
those who present little or none?
At the same time, we will ask ourselves, as a city, whether we

are doing everything in our power to protect our police –
against disrespect, against hateful words and actions, against
threats of violence.
That new model – one that promotes constructive dialogue,

respectful policing, and the security of those we entrust to keep
all of us safe – is the path to a stronger and more secure city.
This renewal of police-community relations will not happen

overnight. After decades of distrust – the product of both
disorder and disrespect – it will take years for us to get where
we, as one city, need to go.
But we will get there -- not through vitriolic words or vicious

scapegoating or violent protest – but through conversation and
collaboration and a long view commitment to safety and justice
for every New Yorker.

New Era of Policing Will Dawn

Our goal is tackling crime together, and building mutual trust. And that is the goal to which we as city
must work.
Together with America’s finest cop, Commissioner Bill Bratton, we’ve made some early progress – reducing
the number of stop-and-frisks from 700,000 two years ago to less than 50,000 today (CHECK). We’ve
begun a thorough retraining of our police officers, from top to bottom. We’ve worked to free our cops
from cumbersome and counterproductive ticket-writing quotas, and equip them instead with the tools
they need to target dangerous crime – like using GPS to pinpoint gunshots, fitting police with body
cameras, and tapping other technologies made possible by a XXX increase in the police budget.
And we will be proposing other measures this year to literally bring officers in closer regular contact with
those they serve.
As a city, we must also rethink what we are asking our police department to do to keep us safe.
The old model has its roots in a New York City beset by thousands of murders a year; a crack cocaine
epidemic; street corners that even our cops found too dangerous to enter.
We will never, ever return to those days. But neither will we let our memories of a bygone era
predetermine the right way to police our streets in this new era.
Today’s NYPD is more diverse than ever before. Our most recent tragedy shined a light on that fact, with
our Latino and Asian communities mourning the loss of officers who shared their ethnicity.
So we look to the city we hope to build – a new model for a new era– a model centered on trust instead of
fear. To that end, we will recognize and celebrate and promote police officers not simply by studying

statistics and arrest numbers, but by gauging how the residents of a precinct view those that patrol their
precinct. There will be mutual respect between an officer and the neighborhood. Law enforcement will
target those that present a real danger, while protecting the rights of those who present little or none.
At the same time, we will ask ourselves, as a city, whether we are doing everything in our power to protect
our police – against disrespect, against hateful words and actions, against threats of violence.
That new era model – one that promotes constructive dialogue, respectful policing, and the security of
those we entrust to keep all of us safe – is the path to a stronger and more secure city.
This renewal of police-community relations will not happen overnight. And history has taught us that
change can be difficult and painful. But we know, as this great city always has, that we advance only as one
New York.
We will not fear this new era of policing. We will embrace it and discover a new dawn -- not through
vitriolic words or vicious scapegoating or violent protest – but through conversation and collaboration and
a commitment to safety and justice for every New Yorker.

But I still kept a lot of the principles and policies behind our police reform agenda in there. I
separated the deplorable actions into three parts: violent/hateful protestors; abusive/overly
aggressive cops; and a deranged individual who denigrated the peaceful protest movement.
I also called out Lynch and company, but not by name or specific affront. That felt beneath

UNTITLED2
By Bill de Blasio
DRAFT

In the midst of a holiday season we look to with joy, New Yorkers from all
walks of life are sharing in grief.
The tragic, senseless killings of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael
Ramos have shaken our city to its core. These proud and courageous public
servants wanted nothing more than to honor their vow to protect and to
serve. They wanted to keep their community safe from harm, and to
continue the nearly unimaginable success that New York’s Finest have
achieved in driving crime in our city to a record low -- a five percent
reduction in serious crime from last year, with the lowest number of
We are a city that mourns the loss of life. A city that expresses the raw
emotion that we feel – the anger, the sadness, the sense of injustice – in
different ways – some constructive, some destructive.
But at this moment, we remember New York City is one family – a family
that will come together in common cause in light of the long view –
dedicated to building bridges of understanding that can and must prevent
future tragedies from tearing us apart again.
Our police officers do a dangerous and essential, but often thankless job.
And striking the right balance between rigorously protecting public safety
and respecting individuals is part of what makes the job so challenging. It
must be done with extraordinary care and restraint. In turn, our police
deserve our gratitude and our respect.
It is also true that many times, young men of color are considered suspect
simply because of how they look, and sometimes that leads to tragedies like
the ones we've seen. That sense of distrust doesn't make policing any
easier. It makes it more difficult.
The question we must ask ourselves is this: how do we keep EVERY New
Yorker safe – whether black, white, Latino, or Asian; whether they wear a
uniform, or a hoodie with baggy jeans; whether they are the targets of
overaggressive policing, subjects of ugly, hate-filled taunts or despicable
violent protests; or victims of a deranged individual who shamefully uses
peaceful protests as a cover for his acts of unthinkable evil.
This tug between public safety and civil rights are not mutually exclusive.
In fact, the opposite is true.

Building a partnership between police and the communities they serve is
actually a strategy for driving crime down even further, and protecting both
residents and officers alike.
When police see residents of their precincts as dedicated to the same

mission – targeting violence and lawlessness – they are better able to serve
the neighborhoods with the professionalism they exemplify. When
neighbors see officers as respectful and restrained, they can assist law
enforcement in the effort to lock up the criminals and avoid bad contacts
with innocent individuals.
Our goal is tackling crime together, and building mutual trust. And that is
the goal to which we as city must work.
We’ve made some early progress – reducing the number of stop-and-frisks

from 700,000 two years ago to less than 50,000 today (CHECK). We’ve
begun a thorough retraining of our police officers, from top to bottom.
We’ve worked to free our cops from cumbersome and counterproductive
ticket-writing quotas, and equip them instead with the tools they need to
target dangerous crime – like using GPS to pinpoint gunshots, fitting police
with body cameras, and tapping other technologies made possible by a XXX
increase in the police budget. And we will be proposing measures to
literally bring officers in closer regular contact with those they serve,
offering subsidies to cops who choose to live in the city, and – like so many
other New Yorkers – struggle with the soaring cost of housing.
As a city, we must also rethink what we are asking our police department
to do to keep us safe.
The old model has its roots in a New York City beset by thousands of
murders a year; a crack cocaine epidemic; street corners that even our cops
found too dangerous to enter.
We will never, ever return to those days. But neither will we let our
memories of a bygone era predetermine the right way to police our streets
in the modern era.
Today’s NYPD is more diverse than ever before. Our most recent tragedy
shined a light on that fact, with our Latino and Asian communities
mourning the loss of officers who shared their ethnicity.
So we look to the city we hope to build – a new model, based upon the long

view – a model centered on trust instead of fear. To that end, we will
recognize and celebrate and promote police officers not simply by studying
statistics and arrest numbers, but by gauging how the residents of a
precinct view those that patrol their precinct. Is there a mutual respect
between an officer and the neighborhood? Is law enforcement targeting
those that present a real danger, while protecting the rights of those who
present little or none?
At the same time, we will ask ourselves, as a city, whether we are doing
everything in our power to protect our police – against disrespect, against
hateful words and actions, against threats of violence.
That new model – one that promotes constructive dialogue, respectful

policing, and the security of those we entrust to keep all of us safe – is the
path to a stronger and more secure city.
This renewal of police-community relations will not happen overnight.

After decades of distrust – the product of both disorder and disrespect – it
will take years for us to get where we, as one city, need to go.
But we will get there -- not through vitriolic words or vicious scapegoating
or violent protest – but through conversation and collaboration and a long
view commitment to safety and justice for every New Yorker.

Message Strategy
• Focus on what matters – Protect and Respect

o Keeping crime low
o Bringing police and community closer together – because its good for both police
AND community
• Reaffirm confidence in and support in NYPD and its leadership

• Use emotions strategically --- to draw the line and make clear work stoppages are
unacceptable and will not be tolerated. New Yorkers expect that their police force is
working and those who choose not to do their job can find another line of work.
Topline Themes Likely to Guide Every Question
• Emotions: How did it make you feel when backs were turned? Is there anything you regret
saying [ie, Dante comparison]? Were you surprised at the reaction?
• Apologies: Should you apologize to the NYPD? Should Lynch and others apologize to you?

• Cause and Effect: Do you believe your comments and actions have caused this escalation?
• Forward-looking: How do you and the City move forward? Now that you’ve met with the
unions, what’s next? How do you respond to claims that the first meeting was non-
productive and what does that mean for future talks?
SAMPLE Q+A
Q: Should you apologize like some in the media have said? Should Lynch and others apologize to
you?
A: Look, this isn’t about how I feel. My focus is on keeping our City safe, keeping crime numbers low
and bringing police and community together.
Q: Some in the NYPD have said comments about Dante in particular needing to take special care w
police were offensive to them. What did you mean and do you regret those remarks?

Q: Is there a police work slowdown happening right now, and if so what are you and the PC going to
do to end it?
A. We know that typically after a police officer is killed there is a brief period of mourning. As
Commissioner Bratton put it, a time for grieving. But let me be clear—New Yorkers will not
tolerate any perceived slow down, the police Commissioner won’t and I certainly won’t.
New Yorkers expect officers to do their job and to do it well. Those who can’t should
consider a new line of work. And for those few who are deliberately stopping/slowing or
encouraging others to abdicate their responsibilities, there very well may be legal
consequences.
Q. Are you exploring legal options?

A. I expect our cops to do their jobs and to do them admirably. And the NYPD is the finest in
the country. If we perceive a slowdown, we will look at all options to keep New Yorkers
safe.
Q: Next mtg with Lynch and the unions? What are next steps in that relationship? How do you repair
and move forward?
Q: Reaction to those protestors who say and chant vile hateful things about the NYPD?
Q: Do you have any arrest updates on last month’s assaults on police officers during a protest rally
on the Brooklyn Bridge?
A: Last week, the NYPD arrested and charged a fifth suspect, 29 year-old Jarrod Shanahan in
connection with the Brooklyn Bridge assault. Shanahan faces multiple charges, including assault on a
police officer, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration. Rest assured the
Department with the full support of City Hall is doing everything in it power to ensure the
perpetrators are apprehended held to account for their actions. That said, the Commissioner and his
chiefs can provide you with more details on this specific arrest.
Q: This year police officer shooting deaths increased 56%. Given the current climate and the rise in
death threats from anti-police extremists, what are you doing to protect the City’s police officers?
Is your rhetoric at all responsible for this climate?
A: No, this was the act of a deranged individual, pure and simple.
We’ve put safety first in this administration by increasing police resources, expanding camera use in
all five boroughs, and maintaining force levels. Since the tragic shootings of Officer Ramos and
Officer Liu, we’ve doubled down and now have officers on foot patrols working in pairs and
uniformed sentries now guard each precinct station house. The NYPD is actively monitoring social
media and investigating any threats against police officers that come through that or any other
medium. And I’d like to continue to urge the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity
they see or hear. We must work together to prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.
Q: On Friday, the Commissioner issued a memo to the entire Department outlining his expectations
for how members of the Department should behave at Officer Liu’s funeral. Where you aware of
the memo? Did he do this at your request?
A: The Commissioner has been a law enforcement leader for decades. He is a smart, independent,
and principled public servant. While I do agree with the tenor of his statement and believe that
funerals, especially one’s where we are honoring one of our City’s fallen, are solemn occasions that
should be devoid of politics, the Commissioner certainly doesn’t need any micro-managing for me. I

respect his judgment, and I leave it to his discretion as to what he should and shouldn’t say to his
officers.
Q: Officer Liu was laid to rest this past weekend. What do you say to those who reacted negatively
to your involvement in the funeral?
A: Officer Liu was an example of the best of what this City has to offer. And words can’t express how
profoundly his tragic death has impacted all of us. We lost a dedicated public servant who answered
the call to protect and serve this great city, and Officer Liu deserves our gratitude and respect. This
was not about politics, it was about taking the time to honor his memory and support his family.
Q: What about the cops who turned their backs on you? How did you take that?
A: It was the actions of a few – I certainly heard from New Yorkers who were upset to see some
who would choose to politicize funerals in direct contrast to the families request. My focus is on
how we make sure this City is safe, continue to the low-crime rates, honor the memories of the two
men we’ve lost; protect our officers from future acts; and begin to heal our city.
Q: How do you respond to those who turned their backs or who made statements, such as you
have“blood on your hands?”
A: Short answer – No, I do not believe that nor do I think the majority of New Yorkers believe that.
That’s the kind of divisive politics that does nothing to move this City forward.,
If people want to politicize someone’s funeral, that's on them and you can ask them what they think
of that. I've got a job to do as Mayor. We've kept crime low and we're remaking the relationship
between police and community. No number of baseless attacks are going to stop us from getting
their together.
Q: Earlier this morning a hearing was held in Staten Island to review petition requests seeking
transcripts, instructions and evidence from the grand jury that investigated the death of Eric Garner
but decided not to indict the police officer involved in his chokehold death in July. Do you believe
those transcripts should be unsealed?
A: For many people there are obviously a lot of unanswered questions. The death of Eric Garner was
an unspeakable tragedy. I understand their desire for more information and transparency. But, I’m
not going to weigh in on what should ultimately happen with the transcripts. That is for a judge to
decide, and I believe it is important to allow the judicial process to play out as it ultimately will.

Q: Some say they haven’t seen police-community relations this bad since the David Dinkins era.
A: We’ve been through a lot as a city over the past few months. But it’s not just here in New
York. It’s a conversation we’re having across the country. I think we need to see it through that lens.
We are making progress, reduction in stops or example. We will continue the work. Playing the long
game, and am confident we are going in the right direction.
Q: There’s a petition circulating suggesting that you resign.
A: I understand that in the middle of an act of senseless violence, humannature causes us to look for
someone to blame – some way to make sense of it all. But I don’t think injecting politics into the
middle of tragedy is the way forward. I am confident this Administration has the confidence and
support of the people of NYC.
Q: The killer said that this was an act of retribution for Garner. Doesn’t that make it political right
there? Isn’t that exactly what people were protesting in New York – the people you spoke to and
defended.
A: This was a deranged individual with a history of violence…a gang-member from Baltimore who
allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend there before coming to New York to continue his unspeakable
acts. Just because he cloaked his act of violence in the words of non-violent protestors does not
mean he speaks for those peaceful protesters any more than Timothy McVeigh spoke for those who
advocate for smaller government. This was an act of evil, pure and simple.
Q: Are you worried about copy-cats – like the attempted shooting in the Bronx? Should New
Yorkers expect this to continue?
A: The people of New York should know that they are safe; that their city and their police force are
here to protect them; and that we will work together to ensure that the violence ends. We will
double-down on the extraordinary work the NYPD is already doing, and we will stamp out the
violence. And we will have our cops’ backs.
Q: But aren’t cops going to be afraid to go to work now?

A: Anyone who says that underestimates the courage and valor of our police officer here in New
York. These men and women put their lives on the line every day, and they aren’t going to be
deterred from doing their jobs. They don’t intimidate easy; they act heroically, and will continue to
do so.
Q: There are those who’ve suggested that your own police security detail should ease up on
protecting you. Did you take that as a threat?
A: New York City police officers have been protecting me and my family for decades –including the
years before I ever entered public life. They protected me as a resident of New York City – just like
they protect millions of families like mine every day. I know these men and women, they are
professionals who take their duty seriously and I have immense respect for the job they do.

Wouldn’t hurt for him to say - instead of lessened activity being the result of mourning - that we are
actually going after the bad guys & bringing crime down & that the “slowdown” is more optics & not
affecting the safety of New Yorkers…
Of course, that’s coming from me - a guy who doesn’t believe in Broken Windows as a crime-fighting
strategy - so take it for what it’s worth

Bratton discussion...
Very adamant not to have BDB engage in anything that appears personal or reflects a Mayor who is hurt or
angry -- believes that only empowers the union and further divides the Department, urges he be sober,
firm and responsible and let media help turn public opinion against union
Wants to let a few days go by this week to see if summons activity returns to normal, if not then he is fully
prepared to take action (he is being briefed on the Taylor Law tomorrow morning by his staff)
Will say tomorrow that they will be analyzing activity precinct by precinct, shift by shift, to detect any of
efforts to fail to perform
Will also note that crime remain down despite this lessened activity, which he will still claim reflects
mourning and staff assigned to protests
As for the back-turners, wants to make clear this was both a small minority of the officers and that their
actions were disrespectful to the families and to the Department
He will have more to say tomorrow morning after he gets briefed by his staff on the crime data and
understands the Taylor Law better, obviously happy to talk to Mayor anytime, but will know more by then
(Compstat data also comes out on Monday)

SAMPLE Q+A
Q: Should you apologize like some in the media have said? Should Lynch and others
apologize to you?
A: Look, this isn’t about how I feel. My focus is on keeping our City safe, keeping crime
numbers low and bringing police and community together.
Q: Some in the NYPD have said comments about Dante in particular needing to take
special care w police were offensive to them. What did you mean and do you regret
those remarks?
A.
Our police officers do a dangerous and essential, but often thankless job. And striking
the right balance between rigorously protecting public safety and respecting
individuals is part of what makes the job so challenging. It must be done with
extraordinary care and restraint. In turn, our police deserve our gratitude and our
respect.
It is also true that at times, people of color have felt suspect simply because of how
they look. That's reality. That sense of distrust doesn't make policing any easier. It
The question we must ask ourselves is this: how do we keep EVERY New Yorker safe –
whether they wear a suit and tie, a uniform, or a hoodie; whether they were the
targets of stop and frisk policing, subjects of ugly, hate-filled taunts or despicable
violent protests; or victims of a deranged individual who shamefully uses peaceful
protests as a cover for his acts of unthinkable evil.
Q: Is there a police work slowdown happening right now, and if so what are you and
the PC going to do to end it?
A. We know that typically after a police officer is killed there is a brief period of
mourning. As Commissioner Bratton put it, a time for grieving. But let me be clear—
New Yorkers will not tolerate any perceived slow down, the police Commissioner
won’t and I certainly won’t. New Yorkers expect officers to do their job and to do it
well. Those who can’t should consider a new line of work. And for those few who are
deliberately stopping/slowing or encouraging others to abdicate their responsibilities,

there very well may be legal consequences.

A. I expect our cops to do their jobs and to do them admirably. And the NYPD is the
finest in the country. If we perceive a slowdown, we will look at all options to keep
New Yorkers safe.
-or-
A: People must do their jobs. Period. Individual officers who fail to carry out their
duties will be subject to departmental sanctions as they would for any other violation
of their responsibilities.
- If we see widespread failure by officers to discharge their duties, the City has legal
tools at its disposal that we will use against them and against any individual or
organization that fails to discourage such behavior.
If asked further about such tools...
- These tools include the invocation of the Taylor Law, prohibiting labor actions by
public workers, and the imposition of sanctions against them and their representatives.
Q: Next mtg with Lynch and the unions? What are next steps in that relationship? How
do you repair and move forward?
Q: Do you have any arrest updates on last month’s assaults on police officers during a
protest rally on the Brooklyn Bridge?
A: Last week, the NYPD arrested and charged a fifth suspect, 29 year-old Jarrod
Shanahan in connection with the Brooklyn Bridge assault. Shanahan faces multiple
charges, including assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and obstructing
governmental administration. Rest assured the Department with the full support of
City Hall is doing everything in it power to ensure the perpetrators are apprehended
held to account for their actions. That said, the Commissioner and his chiefs can
provide you with more details on this specific arrest.
Q: This year police officer shooting deaths increased 56%. Given the current climate

and the rise in death threats from anti-police extremists, what are you doing to protect
the City’s police officers? Is your rhetoric at all responsible for this climate?
We’ve put safety first in this administration by increasing police resources, expanding
camera use in all five boroughs, and maintaining force levels. Since the tragic shootings
of Officer Ramos and Officer Liu, we’ve doubled down and now have officers on foot
patrols working in pairs and uniformed sentries now guard each precinct station house.
The NYPD is actively monitoring social media and investigating any threats against
police officers that come through that or any other medium. And I’d like to continue to
urge the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity they see or hear. We
must work together to prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.
Q: On Friday, the Commissioner issued a memo to the entire Department outlining his
expectations for how members of the Department should behave at Officer Liu’s
funeral. Where you aware of the memo? Did he do this at your request?
A: The Commissioner has been a law enforcement leader for decades. He is a smart,
independent, and principled public servant. While I do agree with the tenor of his
statement and believe that funerals, especially one’s where we are honoring one of
our City’s fallen, are solemn occasions that should be devoid of politics, the
Commissioner certainly doesn’t need any micro-managing for me. I respect his
judgment, and I leave it to his discretion as to what he should and shouldn’t say to his
officers.
Q: What is you reaction to officers who turned their back in spite of Bratton?
Q: Officer Liu was laid to rest this past weekend. What do you say to those who reacted
negatively to your involvement in the funeral?
A: Officer Liu was an example of the best of what this City has to offer. And words can’t
express how profoundly his tragic death has impacted all of us. We lost a dedicated
public servant who answered the call to protect and serve this great city, and Officer
Liu deserves our gratitude and respect. This was not about politics, it was about taking
the time to honor his memory and support his family.
A: It was the actions of a few – I certainly heard from New Yorkers who were upset to

see some who would choose to politicize funerals in direct contrast to the families
request. My focus is on how we make sure this City is safe, continue to the low-crime
rates, honor the memories of the two men we’ve lost; protect our officers from future
acts; and begin to heal our city.
Q: How do you respond to those who turned their backs or who made statements,
such as you have“blood on your hands?”
A: Short answer – No, I do not believe that nor do I think the majority of New Yorkers
believe that. That’s the kind of divisive politics that does nothing to move this City
forward.,
If people want to politicize someone’s funeral, that's on them and you can ask them
what they think of that. I've got a job to do as Mayor. We've kept crime low and we're
remaking the relationship between police and community. No number of baseless
attacks are going to stop us from getting their together.
Q: Earlier this morning a hearing was held in Staten Island to review petition requests
seeking transcripts, instructions and evidence from the grand jury that investigated the
death of Eric Garner but decided not to indict the police officer involved in his
chokehold death in July. Do you believe those transcripts should be unsealed?
A: For many people there are obviously a lot of unanswered questions. The death of
Eric Garner was an unspeakable tragedy. I understand their desire for more
information and transparency. But, I’m not going to weigh in on what should ultimately
happen with the transcripts. That is for a judge to decide, and I believe it is important
to allow the judicial process to play out as it ultimately will.
Q: Some say they haven’t seen police-community relations this bad since the David
Dinkins era.
A: We’ve been through a lot as a city over the past few months. But it’s not just here in
New York. It’s a conversation we’re having across the country. I think we need to see it
through that lens. We are making progress, reduction in stops or example. We will
continue the work. Playing the long game, and am confident we are going in the right
direction.

A: I understand that in the middle of an act of senseless violence, humannature causes
us to look for someone to blame – some way to make sense of it all. But I don’t think
injecting politics into the middle of tragedy is the way forward. I am confident this
Administration has the confidence and support of the people of NYC.
Q: The killer said that this was an act of retribution for Garner. Doesn’t that make it
political right there? Isn’t that exactly what people were protesting in New York – the
people you spoke to and defended.
A: This was a deranged individual with a history of violence…a gang-member from

Baltimore who allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend there before coming to New York to
continue his unspeakable acts. Just because he cloaked his act of violence in the words
of non-violent protestors does not mean he speaks for those peaceful protesters any
more than Timothy McVeigh spoke for those who advocate for smaller government.
This was an act of evil, pure and simple.
Q: Are you worried about copy-cats – like the attempted shooting in the Bronx?
Should New Yorkers expect this to continue?
A: The people of New York should know that they are safe; that their city and their
police force are here to protect them; and that we will work together to ensure that
the violence ends. We will double-down on the extraordinary work the NYPD is already
doing, and we will stamp out the violence. And we will have our cops’ backs.
A: Anyone who says that underestimates the courage and valor of our police officer
here in New York. These men and women put their lives on the line every day, and
they aren’t going to be deterred from doing their jobs. They don’t intimidate easy; they
act heroically, and will continue to do so.
Q: There are those who’ve suggested that your own police security detail should ease
up on protecting you. Did you take that as a threat?
A: New York City police officers have been protecting me and my family for decades –
including the years before I ever entered public life. They protected me as a resident of

New York City – just like they protect millions of families like mine every day. I know
these men and women, they are professionals who take their duty seriously and I have
immense respect for the job they do.

Also, the gang member thing. Pretty sure that ended up being untrue — Times yesterday
basically said he was an outcast constantly looking for attention on social media, and his rap

On reaction to turning backs - hijacked a funeral that was meant to honor a fallen officer, and those who
did so brought disgrace to the NYPD and to the family of those lost. For that, they should be ashamed of
themselves.

On resignation, I would suggest that those who believe they cannot serve under a policy of Protect &
Respect should be the ones to find a new line of work, because they are terribly out of step with what the
people of New York - the people they work for - believe…

clear—New Yorkers will not tolerate any perceived slow down, the police
Commissioner won’t and I certainly won’t. New Yorkers expect officers to do
their job and to do it well. Those who can’t should consider a new line of work.
And for those few who are deliberately stopping/slowing or encouraging
others to abdicate their responsibilities, there very well may be legal
consequences.

Q&A
Q: We’ve been hearing that there is a work slowdown and possible a complete work
stoppage altogether by police officers. How do you plan to address this matter?
A: It’s been an unusual few weeks. At this point there is not sufficient evidence yet that there has
in fact been a slowdown. But if we get that evidence, we will act and there will be consequences.
Q: Do you think the unions are aiding and abetting or spearheading this alleged work
slowdown/stoppage?
A: What you have just raised is a serious matter, and I am not going to influence what could be a
legal matter at some point. Right now we are reviewing the data and conducting our own review.
I believe the overwhelming majority of men and women in uniform are doing a great job and
their very best. But if circumstances point to some who are not carrying out their duties, we most
certainly will look into it. (Taylor Law)
connection with the Brooklyn Bridge assault. Shanahan faces multiple charges, including assault
on a police officer, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration. Rest assured
the Department with the full support of City Hall is doing everything in its power to ensure the
perpetrators are apprehended held to account for their actions. That said, the Commissioner and
his chiefs can provide you with more details on this specific arrest.
Q: This year police officer shooting deaths increased 56%. Given the current climate and
the rise in death threats from anti-police extremists, what are you doing to protect the
City’s police officers?
A: We’ve put safety first in this administration by increasing police resources, expanding camera
use in all five boroughs, and maintaining force levels. Since the tragic shootings of Officer
Ramos and Officer Liu, we’ve doubled down and now have officers on foot patrols working in
pairs and uniformed sentries now guard each precinct station house. The NYPD is actively
monitoring social media and investigating any threats against police officers that come through
that or any other medium. And I’d like to continue to urge the public to be vigilant and report any
suspicious activity they see or hear. We must work together to prevent a tragedy like this from
ever happening again.

expectations for how members of the Department should behave at Officer Liu’s funeral.
Where you aware of the memo? Did he do this at your request?
A: Look the Commissioner has been a law enforcement leader for decades. He is a smart,
independent, and principled public servant. While I do agree with the tenor of his statement and
believe that funerals, especially one’s where we are honoring one of our City’s fallen, are solemn
occasions that should be devoid of politics, the Commissioner certainly doesn’t need any micro-
managing for me. I respect his judgment, and I leave it to his discretion as to what he should and
shouldn’t say to his officers.
A: Officer Liu was an example of the best of what this City has to offer. And words can’t express
how profoundly his tragic death has impacted all of us. We lost a dedicated public servant who
answered the call to protect and serve this great city, and Officer Liu deserves our gratitude and
respect. This was not about politics, it was about taking the time to honor his memory and
support his family.
Q: How do you respond to Pat Lynch and George Pataki, who say that you have “blood
on your hands?”
A: No, I do not have blood on my hands. That’s the worst type of rhetoric; it does a disservice to
the families. The reality is we are trying to make reforms that the vast majority of New Yorkers
want.
A: Frankly, I think that behavior is reprehensible. To politicize a funeral dishonors the memory
of our fallen officers. It is disrespectful to their families, their colleagues, the entire NYPD, the
City, and all New Yorkers. This was a tragic loss for everyone, and we’re all grieving.
Q: Do you plan to discipline the police officers who turned their backs at the funeral? How
do you plan deal with this going forward?
A: I’ll leave that to the Commissioner. These actions have elicited a lot of anger and
disrespectful to the families and the city. Have absolute faith in Commissioner Bratton and his
leadership of the department. So whatever he decides is most appropriate, I'm going to respect
his process.

death of Eric Garner but decided not to indict the police officer involved in his chokehold
death in July. Do you believe those transcripts should be unsealed?
A: For many people there are obviously a lot of unanswered questions. The death of Eric Garner
was an unspeakable tragedy. I understand their desire for more information and transparency.
But, I’m not going to weigh in on what should ultimately happen with the transcripts. That is for
a judge to decide, and I believe it is important to allow the judicial process to play out as it
ultimately will.

York. It’s a conversation we’re having across the country. I think we need to see it through that
lens.
A: I understand that in the middle of an act of senseless violence, human nature causes us to look
for someone to blame – some way to make sense of it all. But I don’t think injecting politics into
the middle of tragedy is the way forward.
people you spoke to and defended?
A: This was a deranged individual with a history of violence…a gang-member from Baltimore
who allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend there before coming to New York to continue his
unspeakable acts. Just because he cloaked his act of violence in the words of non-violent
protestors does not mean he speaks for those peaceful protesters any more than Timothy
McVeigh spoke for those who advocate for smaller government. This was an act of evil, pure and
simple.
Q: Are you worried about copy-cats – like the attempted shooting in the Bronx? Should
New Yorkers expect this to continue?

A: The people of New York should know that they are safe; that their city and their police force
are here to protect them; and that we will work together to ensure that the violence ends. We will

here in New York. These men and women put their lives on the line every day, and they aren’t
going to be deterred from doing their jobs. They don’t intimidate easy; they act heroically, and
will continue to do so.
A: New York City police officers have been protecting me for decades – including the
years before I ever entered public life. They protected me as a resident of New York City – just
like they protect millions of families like mine every day. I know these men and
women, and I have immense respect for the job they do, and I’m not going to respond to the
vitriolic rants of extremists.
Q: Should you apologize to the police unions and the NYPD generally for your previous
comments about your son Dante and the conversation you and the First Lady had with him
about taking special care when interacting with the police?
A: No, I will not apologize. This wasn't about Dante or my family. For those who say I should
apologize for a conversation that thousands of families have had across this city, no, I will not.
This is a very real issue that needs to be talked about and discussed openly because it’s
something that needs to be fixed. I won't take it back, but I will fix it.
Q: Does today’s positive crime statistics give us reason to move past the Broken Windows
strategy in policing? Do they ratify the strategy, or nullify it?
A: We've had an extraordinary year, working on a strategy we believe in. While Broken
Windows has its merits and has been an effective strategy on many fronts, I also believe it should
be constantly reviewed and refined. And that’s what we plan to do. (ex. Marijuana arrests)
**Note: Throughout the Q&A, remember to take every opportunity to pivot + back to year-end
crime numbers, as well as all of the things we've done for NYPD; nearly $400 million
investments is safety and security for cops and all new Yorkers, etc …

Agreed - that was an (inadequate) answer that I wrote right after the killings.
In today’s environment, we need to remind people that a year ago, we had 700K stop and frisks, and now
we have less than 50K or whatever - and crime set a record low in 2014… The extreme statements don’t
represent most police officers, most New Yorkers, or the reality of a city that is striving towards protecting
and respecting its people…

He should not accept this premise -- this looks like he agrees. There is no evidence of this at all. Police
union-City Hall relationships are difficult now -- as they have been many times in the past.

hard on statistics about how safe the city is and then close with this before q and a.

“No, I do not have blood on my hands. That’s the worst type of rhetoric; it does a disservice to
want.”
“No, I will not apologize. This wasn't about Dante or my family. For those who say I should
apologize for a conversation that thousands of families have had across this city.”

“This is a very real issue that needs to be talked about and discussed openly because it’s
something that needs to be fixed.”
“I won't take it back, but I will fix the problem that necessitates those conversations.”
“To politicize a funeral dishonors the memory of our fallen officers. It is disrespectful to their
families, their colleagues, the entire NYPD, the City, and all New Yorkers.”
“At this point there is not sufficient evidence yet that there has in fact been a slowdown. But if
we get that evidence, we will act and there will be consequences.”
“I am not going to influence what could be a legal matter at some point. Right now we are
reviewing the data and conducting our own review. I believe the overwhelming majority of men
and women in uniform are doing a great job and their very best. But if circumstances point to
some who are not carrying out their duties, we most certainly will look into it.” (Taylor Law)
“We've had an extraordinary year, working on a strategy we believe in. While Broken Windows
has its merits and has been an effective strategy on many fronts, I also believe it should be
constantly reviewed and refined. And that’s what we plan to do.”

I do not think he should ever say this: “No, I do not have blood on my hands.” It is a disgusting
statement and he should not dignify it by repeating it (gives it more credence, like “I am not a
crook.”).
Seems a little disingenuous given the data and the press reports for him to say this: “At this point
there is not sufficient evidence yet that there has in fact been a slowdown. But if we get that
evidence, we will act and there will be consequences.” May be better to say that after a tough
couple of weeks of mourning and special duties for officers, the NYPD will be looking at every
precinct and every shift this week to make sure activity levels are normal at this time of year.

Great, thanks for the flexibility. His day is wide open on Thursday. Is there a time that works well for
Penny?

Date: Friday, January 9, 2015 at 11:19 AM
Hi, Liz.
Not a problem at all. Next week is great, especially Wednesday and Thursday. Friday morning works,
too.
Let me know what’s best for John.
Thanks again!
Matt

To: *UDKDP 0DWWKHZ
Hi Matt,
I’m so sorry but John’s day tomorrow has gotten hectic with meetings at City Hall. Can we find a time next
week for him to meet with Penny? Apologies for the last minute change of plans.
Thanks,
Liz

To: "Graham, Matthew" <mgraham@cityhall.nyc.gov>
Perfect, confirmed for 10:30 on Friday. Thanks!


OK, great. Would he mind visiting here at 10:30?

Thanks!

To: *UDKDP 0DWWKHZ
Any time before noon on Friday works for John. Thanks for understanding!

Hi, Liz.
I understand how the shifting schedule goes. Not a problem at all.
Unfortunately, 3PM on Thursday won’t work. Penny has meetings from 3PM on.
Friday doesn’t happen to work for John, does it?
If it doesn’t, please let me know a few times next week that might.
Thanks again,
Matt

To: *UDKDP 0DWWKHZ
Hi Matt,
Apologies but John’s schedule has shifted for Thursday. Any chance we could do this meeting at 3 PM
instead?
Thanks,
Liz

Date: Monday, January 5, 2015 at 10:08 AM

Perfect!
Thanks again.

To: *UDKDP 0DWWKHZ
Great, confirmed for 11:30 on the 8th at your office. Thanks!

Great!
If John’s schedule is flexible, 11:30 would be the best time for Penny. That would avoid any rushing
from her previous meeting.
Thanks again!

To: *UDKDP 0DWWKHZ
Sure, no problem. Can we do 11 AM on the 8th? John’s day is fairly flexible so feel free to let me know if
doing this later in the afternoon makes things easier on your end. Thanks!

Hi, Liz.
Happy New Year to you, too!
I hope you had a great vacation. Thanks for your response. Would it be possible for John to visit on
the 8th ? Penny is available from 11AM-4PM. If that doesn’t work, the 9th is pretty open, as well.
Thanks again!
Matt

To: *UDKDP 0DWWKHZ
Hi Matt,

Happy New Year! Apologies for my delayed response, I have been out of the office over the holidays.
Can we try for 11 or 3 PM on the 7th? Happy to look into options for the 8th if helpful.
Thanks!
Liz

Date: Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at 1:41 PM
Hi, Liz.
Just checking in to see what the best time is for John to visit our office on the 7th or 8th ? Both days
are fairly open for Penny.
Thanks!

Race, the Police and the Propaganda
January 10, 2015
Nicholas Kristof
WELCOME visitors to New York City! This has been the best time ever to urinate on a street, sneak onto the
subway or run a red light, for the police force has been on a virtual strike.
Police officers may be making a point for contract negotiations. But many also are genuinely frustrated
and, along with millions of other Americans, seem sympathetic to an argument that goes like this:
The real threat to young black men isn’t white cops. It’s other black men. Police officers are numerous in
black neighborhoods not because they want to hang out there, but because they’re willing to risk their lives
to create order on streets where too many residents have kids outside of marriage, or collect government
benefits but disdain jobs. Instead of receiving thanks for their efforts, cops have been cursed and attacked.
Hate-mongering led by President Obama built a climate of animosity that led to the murder of two of New
York’s finest. And where are the street protests denouncing those racist murders? Don’t blue lives count?
Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and de facto spokesman for that viewpoint, put it this way in
November when he was asked about Ferguson, Mo., on “Meet the Press”: “I find it very disappointing that
you’re not discussing the fact that 93 percent of blacks in America are killed by other blacks. We’re talking
about the exception here.”
The relationship between the police and the mayor in New York has been closely watched recently.
Richard Perry / The New York Times
“What about the poor black child that is killed by another black child?” he added. “Why aren’t you
protesting that?”
After the assassination of the two New York police officers, Giuliani declared: “We’ve had four months of
propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police.”
That view has gained traction, creating an astonishing impasse in America’s largest city. In one week in late
December, the number of police citations, summonses and arrests in some categories fell by 90 percent
from the same week the previous year.
That’s not “a few bad apples.” That’s the apple basket.
Most of us understand that police officers are often in an impossible position, and we appreciate their
courage and good work. When they work.

So let’s examine the narrative that Giuliani and others have spread.
Take the argument that police killings are a red herring because the biggest threat to blacks is other blacks.
The latter part is true. Where the perpetrator has been identified, 93 percent of murderers of blacks are
also black. Then again, it’s equally true that 84 percent of murderers of whites are fellow whites.
So?
How would we feel if we were told: When Americans are killed by Muslim terrorists, it’s an exception. Get
over it.
Some offenses are particularly destructive because they undermine the social system. Terrorism is in that
category, and so is police abuse. Unfortunately, there’s evidence that such abuse is too common.
In 2012, an African-American detective in the New York City Police Department, Harold Thomas, hobbled
from a nightclub to his car (he had been shot a year earlier by a would-be armed robber). Other police
officers didn’t recognize him and, according to Thomas, slammed his head into his vehicle, threw him to
the ground and handcuffed him. He is suing the city.
Thomas, who retired last year after 30 years, admires the police force but says the racial bias is ingrained
— caused by a small percentage of officers who “make everyone look bad.”
Reuters interviewed 25 African-American male police officers, some retired, in New York City and said all
but one reported having been subjected to unwarranted incidents — from stop-and-frisks to being thrown
into prison vans. Five said they had had guns pulled on them.
A 2010 New York State task force report on police-on-police shootings identified 14 officers around the
country killed by fellow officers over the previous 15 years in mistaken identity shootings. Ten of the 14
were officers of color.
Then there’s a ProPublica investigation that found that young black men are shot dead by police at 21
times the rate of young white men.
It’s true that some on the left who are aghast at racial profiling are sometimes prone to career profiling:
We should stereotype neither black youths nor white cops. Some extremist protesters turned to the slogan
“arms up, shoot back,” or to chants of “What do we want? Dead cops.” That was inexcusable. But, of
course, that’s not remotely what Obama was saying.
PunditFact reviewed all of Obama’s statements and found that he never encouraged hostility toward
police; it labeled that Giuliani assertion as “pants on fire.” Good for Obama and other politicians —
including Mayor Bill de Blasio — for trying to shine a light on inequality in law enforcement.
“Many of my peers were deeply racist,” Redditt Hudson, a former St. Louis cop, wrote in The Washington
Post last month. He described seeing force used unnecessarily, particularly against blacks, such as the time
a boy who couldn’t walk was punched, handcuffed and dragged by his ankles from his home to a car.
Hudson said that the fundamental need is an end to impunity.
“Cops aren’t held accountable for their actions, and they know it,” he wrote. “These officers violate rights

with impunity. They know there’s a different criminal justice system for civilians and police. Even when
officers get caught, they know they’ll be investigated by their friends, and put on paid leave.”
Race is a nettlesome issue, and I recognize that I’m calling for more diversity and accountability in police
forces even as my own institution — the press — doesn’t look like America either.
We can all do better. Put yourselves in the shoes of the family of Tamir Rice, the black 12-year-old boy
shot dead in November in Cleveland. A 911 call had reported someone carrying a “probably fake” gun, and
Tamir was carrying a pellet pistol.
A white police officer, who had previously been judged unprepared for the stresses of the job, shot Tamir.
A video released a few days ago shows the boy’s 14-year-old sister rushing to her fallen brother — and
then tackled by police, handcuffed, and placed in a police car a few feet from her dying brother. The
officers stood around and gave him no medical aid.
To those who see no problem in policing, just one question: What if that were your son or daughter?

T HE C ITY OF N EW Y ORK
TO: Mayor Bill de Blasio

FROM: Commissioner Penny Abeywardena, Mayor’s Office for International Affairs
RE: International Affairs Update and Strategy
Agenda
x Update YOU on current actions of international affairs office

x Ensure this is consistent with YOUR vision
x Align priorities
Updated Mission
The Mayor’s Office for International Affairs is the platform from which the City promotes its goals
for greater equality and opportunity, showcases the diversity of New Yorkers, and shares policies
and best practices globally.
The office serves as the primary liaison between the City of New York and the diplomatic
community, foreign governments, the United Nations, and the U.S. Department of State. As an
integral part of the Mayor’s Office, the international affairs team works to foster positive relations
and to create opportunities for collaboration between the international community and New York
City’s agencies and local communities.
Changes in Effect (as of 10.1.14)
For the first time, the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs is executing the following programs:
x Using diplomatic corps to promote City initiatives

o Case study: IDNYC launch in partnership with consulates and UN
x Connecting diplomatic corps to local communities

o Launch of “Connecting Local to Global” series

Ex. Connected 55 consulates to partner with the Office to Combat Domestic
Violence and the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs
Event co-hosted with MOIA, OCDV and New York Women’s Foundation
o World Cities Summit Mayors Forum
Program to reflect PlaNYC 2015
Borough tours to accentuate communities (arts, culture) and opportunities
for business
x Recruitment and retention of international SMEs

o First town hall discussion with foreign trade commissioners and chambers of
commerce
Emphasized NYC’s digital economy as well as our resiliency and sustainability
initiatives that promote investment in clean/green tech
o Developing first working partnership with EDC and other city agencies
o Identifying opportunities to promote international SMEs in all boroughs
Launch of neighborhood tours for international trade representatives to
highlight opportunities in a range of sectors (culinary to bioscience)
x Rethinking courtesy visits: a focus on substance and promoting NYC’s equity agenda
o Duke & Duchess visit spotlighted NYC’s strategies to address mental health issues
and promote international business (tech innovation, specifically)
x Engagement of UN for purposes of moving forward NYC’s economic agenda as well as

cultural and policy exchange
o Supporting the completion of the UN Capital Plan and ensuring that DC 5 is
approved to move to next phase
o During UN’s 70th anniversary in 2015, the IA team will launch a parallel campaign,
“New Yorkness of the UN”
o IDNYC registration site on UN campus
o Economic Impact Analysis of UN and its affiliates
x Agency staffing
o Restructure of agency, redefining all roles and responsibilities to move away from
existing operational, constituent services focus to emphasizing program elements
that proactively engage diplomatic community
o Filling vacancies, specifically in senior leadership (General Counsel & Deputy
Commissioner)
x Global Partners- shifting organization from sporadic meetings of sister cities to actively
building partnerships with likeminded, progressive cities around the world

o Recruiting new board
o Fundraising goal of $1million within two years
o Seeking dynamic executive director
x Other priorities
o Listening tour with key constituents: UN, State Department, Consulates, NYC
agencies and community organizations
o Building relationships with NYC agencies, UN and State Department to ensure a
collaborative partnership to address diplomatic incidents and security issues
o Identifying local community cooperatives to create new NYC gifts for delegation
visits
o Creating a Welcome Committee to introduce new diplomats to NYC services and
connect them to communities throughout the boroughs
Looking Ahead
All of the above activities reinforce the mission to establish this agency as New York City’s global
platform to promote YOUR equity agenda and to share policies and best practices with the
international community. The priorities for 2015 are:
x Working with First Lady Chirlane McCray and her team to use the international community
strategically to advance her priority areas
x Creating a proactive and collaborative office that educates, assists and engages the
international community with New York City agencies and communities
x Identifying and establishing partnerships with City agencies and communities
x Utilizing YOUR international travel to build deeper relationships with progressive leaders and
to promote the administration’s equity agenda

Did you have a couple of cops watch this for reactions? Having done my dime store
anthropological profiles of the City Hall detail, I can tell you that some sweet people
are pretty nuts and it might be good to see if there are any points that we think are
great and they react to differently. Just a thought.
But I already flagged for Emma that this could work. She was worried about him talking
policing and I think he can’t shrink from it nationally. He’s the only leader nationally
who has emerged as someone who managed Garner well and the I think the PBA
overreached.

It was great to speak with you this morning and thank you for checking out the memo. He should
keep it in, what a fantastic quote… perhaps I’ll use it on my agency’s website!
Looking forward to lunch soon.
Cheers,
Penny

Hey Penny. Good to talk to you.
The memo looks great to me.
1. I think you’ll get a welcome audience for the efforts to raise awareness/reduce stigma of mental
illness/domestic violence by partnering consulates with City Agencies & NEW YORKERS who make up our
diverse city.
2. Love the emphasis on the outer boroughs. I really want the country, and the world, to understand just
how much our outer boroughs have changed & look as global in their ethnic composition as Manhattan
(maybe more so).
3. Here’s the quote from Ric Burns, FWIW… I think the boss is going to nix it as the opening of the SOTC -
but I still love it (and the series - it’s called New York: A Documentary).

I propose to announce the Mayor’s Fund led initiative “ The Center for Youth Employment Support”
in the SOTC. The center will be a public private partnership to focus on getting our kids ready for
college and jobs. I have met with all the DM’s and will be presenting this to the Mayor on Friday.
This will be the main thrust of the work of the Mayor’s Fund in 2015. Please see attached memo in
draft form.

"We're at war with the mayor and what are we getting out of it?" This is the crux of my point from
the call earlier -- we want those who attack to feel they can't get anything from it and those who
cooperate to see results. That's why we need to slow down and ration things more

Highlights from the letter:
Preceding and Following Grand Jury decision, the Mayor “initiated dialogue” with protestors and
during this same period, neither the Mayor nor “any representative from [the] administration
extended the courtesy of attempting to establish dialogue with me or any of the members of the
New York City Police Department.”
Proposes steps the Mayor and the Admin “may consider to remedy the estrangement, either real or
perceived, that currently exists between the members of the New York City Police Department and
City Hall.” The recommendations fall into three buckets:
1. Aggressive prosecution of the NYS Penal Law charge of Resisting Arrest
- “Vocal support” from the administration
- “I would also suggest lobbying the City Council and the legislators in Albany to garner
support for the creation of an enhanced charge of “Aggravated Resisting Arrest.”
- District Attorneys create a tracking system to monitor individuals routinely arrested for
resisting arrest or assault in the 2nd degree against police and establish a dedicated unit
to prosecute cases involving resisting arrest or assault in the 2nd degree against police
- Police Department track those same incidents
2. An assurance from the New York City Corporation Council to vigorously defend baseless
law suits filed against the City pertaining to allegations of police misconduct.
- “An assurance from the New York City Corporation Council to aggressively defend
baseless law suits filed against the City pertaining to allegations of police misconduct.
Currently, and in the past, there exists a perception that the NYC Corporation Council
would prefer to settle lawsuits involving members of the Department. “
3. A vested interest by New York City legislators in relation to Tier III Accidental-Disability
pension reform.
- Rectify the “inequality” related to Tier II and Tier II Accidental-Disability Police Pensions.
On the meeting with the five unions: “Many issues were discussed and a fair amount of selective
listening took place. No significant results have derived from these talks.”

A rep from LBA just dropped off a letter from Louis Turco to the Mayor. A scan of the letter is
attached.
Their rep said that they will send this to reporters "later today." He didn't know when or where it's
going, but wanted us to get a copy first.
I'm reviewing this now.

Hi John,
Thank you again for the convo and the feedback on the memo. I ended
up having a very productive meeting with the Mayor about how to grow
this office.
Looking forward to lunch post state of the city.
Cheers,
Penny

Hey Penny. Good to talk to you.
The memo looks great to me.
1. I think you’ll get a welcome audience for the efforts to raise

awareness/reduce stigma of mental illness/domestic violence by partnering
consulates with City Agencies & NEW YORKERS who make up our diverse city.
2. Love the emphasis on the outer boroughs. I really want the country, and
the world, to understand just how much our outer boroughs have changed &

look as global in their ethnic composition as Manhattan (maybe more so).
3. Here’s the quote from Ric Burns, FWIW… I think the boss is going to nix it
as the opening of the SOTC - but I still love it (and the series - it’s called New
York: A Documentary).

Love this narrative:
Obama a Policy Pathbreaker? De Blasio Was There First

It’s been a very de Blasio week in Washington.
As the White House rolled out a string of federal initiatives, New Yorkers would be excused
for their sense of déjà vu.
On a lot of this stuff, Mayor Bill de Blasio was there first.
Paid sick leave for employees? The mayor signed a bill requiring paid days off for low-wage
New York City workers.
Expanded access to broadband? The mayor is creating free Wi-Fi hot spots in low-income
neighborhoods like Melrose in the Bronx and Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn.
Easing travel restrictions to Cuba? Mr. de Blasio and his wife honeymooned in Havana in
1994.
Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat who has a number of President Obama’s former aides on his staff,
has been intent on promoting his liberal policy platform around the country. And in
November, the mayor spent time at the White House with Valerie Jarrett, the president’s
closest adviser.
Might the mayor and his wife consider renewing their vows in Cuba, given Mr. Obama’s
easing of the restrictive travel policy.
“Their vows are fine the way they are,” a spokeswoman said.

I'd keep this and don't think Hollande is

necessary. Mayor to Mayor.
If Hollande wanted it, we could meet w him but

we have to check in w WH. Its not my first
priority. BDB may feel differently.

Simpler here the better. They just

went through their very own
9/11. We should do 3 things,
show sympathy, condemn
violence, offer our full support.
We have a lot ot offer on dealing

w terrorism.
I'd stay far away from any other

issues.
I'd stay as close to Hidalgo as

possible, they have a real
relationship and there's no way it
can be viewed credibly as political
btwn those two.
The more moving parts you add

the more you have a potential for
mistakes.

Subject: MLK Day Remarks - draft
Phil & I are still tweaking - but here’s a sense of where we are right now…
MLK DAY REMARKS

1/18/15 DRAFT
Thank you, XXX, for that introduction.
We gather to commemorate and honor Dr. King during a challenging moment in our
city – a time of shared grief…of unthinkable tragedy…but also a time of undeniable
progress…and of great resolve.
Today, you’ve heard so many of the powerful words of Dr. King – calls for justice…for
healing…for people to come together and let ourselves be guided not by hate, but by
love.
At this moment, we remember that New York City is ONE family – a family that will
come together in common cause – dedicated to building bridges of understanding that
can and must prevent future tragedies from tearing us apart.
As Mayor, I’ve sat with the families of Detective Liu and Detective Ramos, and the
family of Staten Islander Eric Garner.

The tensions seen before and after the terrible bloodshed in Brooklyn are tremors
along a deep historic divide between law enforcement and communities of color. We
would be remiss to deny it, and reckless to let it go unaddressed.
That’s why so many New Yorkers took to the streets to have their voices heard…joining
together in a call for change. We recognize peaceful protests as a legitimate way for
people in a democracy to make their voices heard -- and we honor that right.
But we also know that the veil of free expression will NEVER excuse the behavior of
those who say reprehensible things -- such as those who call for violence against our
police. Spewing hatred towards those we entrust to protect us – spewing hatred
toward ANYONE -- only undermines the cause of peaceful protesters who want
reforms to continue.
As Dr. King said: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate
cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
We need less shouting, and more constructive dialogue. We need to march forward
together – making our city work for every neighborhood…every borough…every child.
Now, at the start of 2014, we set out to do what some said was impossible – to change
policies that were creating a divide between police and the communities they serve…at
the same time we worked to make EVERY New Yorker safer.
And to that end, we’ve made great progress. Last year, the men and women of our
police force brought crime to a record low. Homicides…a record low. Robberies…a
record low. A nearly 5 percent reduction in crime from even last year’s historic low.
At the same time, we’ve begun to reform the WAY we police – ending the overuse of
stop-and-frisk -- from nearly 700,000 stops a few years ago, to less than 50,000 in
2014. And of the stops that WERE made, twice as many led to actual arrests.
Some had suggested those two priorities were in conflict. Some offered the people of
this city a false choice: that we had to choose between lower crime and more respectful
policing. They have been proven wrong, and that is something that we – as one New
York family – celebrate.
We proved the naysayers wrong because we knew the truth – that building a better

relationship between police and those they serve makes both our people AND our
police safer. It allows officers to get better information from neighbors on the real
sources of crime. It frees our officers from the burden of making unnecessary stops
just to meet a quota. It leads to policing that both protects AND respects.
Because, at the end of the day, we all want the same thing. We want our police officers
to target the guns and gangs and illegal drugs. We want them to protect our children
from violence, and our streets from disorder. We want officers to respect the innocent,
and we want our neighbors to respect the police. We want an end to tragedies that
stem from hostile contacts between police and unarmed New Yorkers. We want our
police officers to be protected from anyone who would seek to do them harm.
I feel deeply about these issues both as a father…and as a son.
I want my kids to be able to walk in streets made safe by strong, effective policing. I
want my kids – and ALL of our kids – to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by
the content of their character.
I want those who protect our safety to be honored, respected, and recognized for the
dangerous job they do.
My father wasn’t a police officer, but he served in uniform, defending his country in
the US Army during World War II. He came back from the Pacific missing half of one
of his legs.
I admired him so much because he put everything on the line to protect our freedom.
And I saw the price he paid for that service.
That is one reason I have such profound respect for the men and women of the NYPD -
- for the sacrifices they make, the risks they take every day, the price they pay in the
name of protecting our city. One need look no further than the horrific events in Paris
to understand the incredibly dangerous world our officers face each day.
That’s why we have done so much to protect our police. When we saw an increase in
shootings last spring, we increased police overtime. When we saw problems in the
housing authority, we invested in exterior lights, so that officers would have a clearer
vision of what was going on. We’ve invested in new technologies – from GPS tracking
of gunshots, to equipping officers with sophisticated smartphones – to help police do
their jobs while staying safer in the process.
That’s what public safety is all about – policing that protects our neighbors from
violence; policing that protects our civil rights; policing that protects our officers from
the dangerous world they courageously face each day. We’re safer when we work

together – and we’re seeing the results – results that matter in each of our lives, every
day.
And we will not let the events of the last weeks throw us off that course.
It's been a very difficult time -- there’s no denying that. The death of Eric Garner was
a tragic loss. As was the death of Michael Brown. And the assassination of Detectives
Liu and Ramos was an attack on all that's good about New York. It was an attack on
law enforcement, on our city, and on our society itself.
When our hearts are filled with grief…with anger…with confusion and frustration…we
must remember Dr. King’s legacy – turning towards each other rather than turning on
each other. Because that is what a family does.
My grandparents came to this city from Southern Italy 100 years ago. They left their
home and came here for a reason. To them – and to countless others – New York was a
bright beacon of boundless opportunity. A place where what mattered was how hard
you were willing to work and how big you were able to dream -- not where you were
born, the cadence of your voice, or the size of your pocketbook.
That's the city – and the sacred promise – that the men and women of the NYPD are
entrusted with protecting. And that’s the city the people in every community across
New York yearn to live in.
It’s the promise that we’re fighting to realize for every New Yorker – not just by
protecting their physical safety, but by addressing their economic insecurity – from
Pre-K and after-school, to paid sick leave and living wage…to job creation,
environmental protection, and the boldest affordable housing initiative our city has
ever undertaken.
We will embrace the change we need, and in the process, witness a new dawn -- not
through vitriolic words, or vicious scapegoating, or violent protest – but through
conversation and collaboration and a commitment to safety and justice and economic
opportunity for every New Yorker.
That’s the legacy of Dr. King. It’s what I resolve to do each and every day that I’m
privileged to serve as your mayor. And it’s a mission that we will achieve – slowly,
deliberately, with passion and resolve – as ONE New York family – working together.
Thank you very much.

Here’s where we are right now… Boss has this draft - but knows we’re still working on it
MLK DAY REMARKS

1/18/15 DRAFT
We gather to commemorate and honor Dr. King during a challenging

moment in our city – a time of shared grief…of unthinkable tragedy…but
also a time of undeniable progress…and of great resolve.
justice…for healing…for people to come together and let ourselves be
guided not by hate, but by love.
At this moment, we remember that New York City is ONE family – a family
that will come together in common cause – dedicated to building bridges of
understanding that can and must prevent future tragedies from tearing us
apart.
As Mayor, I’ve sat with the families of Detective Liu and Detective Ramos,
and the family of Staten Islander Eric Garner.
While the circumstances of these tragedies were different, the shock and
grief and heartbreaking sense of loss expressed by their families were very
much the same.

The tensions seen before and after the terrible bloodshed in Brooklyn are
tremors along a deep historic divide between law enforcement and
communities of color. We would be remiss to deny it, and reckless to let it
go unaddressed.
That’s why so many New Yorkers took to the streets to have their voices
heard…joining together in a call for change. We recognize peaceful protests
as a legitimate way for people in a democracy to make their voices heard --
But we also know that the veil of free expression will NEVER excuse the
behavior of those who say reprehensible things -- such as those who call for
violence against our police. Spewing hatred towards those we entrust to
protect us – spewing hatred toward ANYONE -- only undermines the cause
of peaceful protesters who want reforms to continue.
As Dr. King said: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do
that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
We need less shouting, and more constructive dialogue. We need to march

forward together – making our city work for every neighborhood…every
borough…every child.
Now, at the start of 2014, we set out to do what some said was impossible
– to change policies that were creating a divide between police and the
communities they serve…at the same time we worked to make EVERY New
Yorker safer.
And to that end, we’ve made great progress. Last year, the men and women
of our police force brought crime to a record low. Homicides…a record low.
Robberies…a record low. A nearly 5 percent reduction in crime from even
last year’s historic low.
At the same time, we’ve begun to reform the WAY we police – ending the
overuse of stop-and-frisk -- from nearly 700,000 stops a few years ago, to
less than 50,000 in 2014. And of the stops that WERE made, twice as many
led to actual arrests.
Some had suggested those two priorities were in conflict. Some offered the
people of this city a false choice: that we had to choose between lower
crime and more respectful policing. They have been proven wrong, and
that is something that we – as one New York family – celebrate.

We proved the naysayers wrong because we knew the truth – that building
a better relationship between police and those they serve makes both our
people AND our police safer. It allows officers to get better information
from neighbors on the real sources of crime. It frees our officers from the
burden of making unnecessary stops just to meet a quota. It leads to
policing that both protects AND respects.
Because, at the end of the day, we all want the same thing. We want our
police officers to target the guns and gangs and illegal drugs. We want
them to protect our children from violence, and our streets from disorder.
We want officers to respect the innocent, and we want our neighbors to
respect the police. We want an end to tragedies that stem from hostile
contacts between police and unarmed New Yorkers. We want our police
officers to be protected from anyone who would seek to do them harm.
I want my kids to be able to walk in streets made safe by strong, effective

policing. I want my kids – and ALL of our kids – to be judged not by the
color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
I want those who protect our safety to be honored, respected, and

recognized for the dangerous job they do.
My father wasn’t a police officer, but he served in uniform, defending his

country in the US Army during World War II. He came back from the
Pacific missing half of one of his legs.
I admired him so much because he put everything on the line to protect our
freedom. And I saw the price he paid for that service.
That is one reason I have such profound respect for the men and women of
the NYPD -- for the sacrifices they make, the risks they take every day, the
price they pay in the name of protecting our city. One need look no further
than the horrific events in Paris to understand the incredibly dangerous
world our officers face each day.
That’s why we have done so much to protect our police. When we saw an
increase in shootings last spring, we increased police overtime. When we
saw problems in the housing authority, we invested in exterior lights, so
that officers would have a clearer vision of what was going on. We’ve
invested in new technologies – from GPS tracking of gunshots, to equipping

officers with sophisticated smartphones – to help police do their jobs while
staying safer in the process.
That’s what public safety is all about – policing that protects our neighbors
from violence; policing that protects our civil rights; policing that protects
our officers from the dangerous world they courageously face each day.
We’re safer when we work together – and we’re seeing the results – results
that matter in each of our lives, every day.
It's been a very difficult time -- there’s no denying that. The death of Eric
Garner was a tragic loss. As was the death of Michael Brown. And the
assassination of Detectives Liu and Ramos was an attack on all that's good
about New York. It was an attack on law enforcement, on our city, and on
our society itself.
frustration…we must remember Dr. King’s legacy – turning towards each
other rather than turning on each other. Because that is what a family
does.
My grandparents came to this city from Southern Italy 100 years ago. They
left their home and came here for a reason. To them – and to countless
others – New York was a bright beacon of boundless opportunity. A place
where what mattered was how hard you were willing to work and how big
you were able to dream -- not where you were born, the cadence of your
voice, or the size of your pocketbook.
That's the city – and the sacred promise – that the men and women of the
NYPD are entrusted with protecting. And that’s the city the people in every
community across New York yearn to live in.
It’s the promise that we’re fighting to realize for every New Yorker – not
just by protecting their physical safety, but by addressing their economic
insecurity – from Pre-K and after-school, to paid sick leave and living
wage…to job creation, environmental protection, and the boldest affordable
housing initiative our city has ever undertaken.
We will embrace the change we need, and in the process, witness a new
dawn -- not through vitriolic words, or vicious scapegoating, or violent
protest – but through conversation and collaboration and a commitment to
safety and justice and economic opportunity for every New Yorker.

That’s the legacy of Dr. King. It’s what I resolve to do each and every day
that I’m privileged to serve as your mayor. And it’s a mission that we will
achieve – slowly, deliberately, with passion and resolve – as ONE New York
family – working together.

i think this is pretty good

made some edits, below - red are adds or changes; italics are sections i think we can cut out
or down significantly
have some strikethroughs here and there
i also think we should invoke Dr King 1-2 more times in this, to tie it up nicely
others shold have a look, i think the boss shoujld see this before the game
thanks

Over the past weeks, there has been a lot of noise and conjecture, but I want to
make one thing absolutely clear: I have a profound respect for the men and
women of the NYPD, for the sacrifices they make, the risks they take every day,
the price they pay in the name of protecting our city.
Even before tragedy struck the department, I heard firsthand from so many
inside the NYPD about the challenges that our officers face in a complicated
world. One need look no further than the horrific events in Paris to understand
the gravity of the challenges that police officers face each day.
So what are we doing to support the men and women of the NYPD?
To start, we made critical investments to support the everyday efforts of our

officers. When we saw an increase in shootings last spring, we increased police
overtime. When we saw problems in the housing authority, we invested in
exterior lights so that officers would have a clearer vision of what was going on.
We’ve invested in new technologies – from GPS tracking of gunshots, to
equipping officers with sophisticated smartphones – to help police do their jobs

while staying safer in the process.

Now, some have suggested that the way the city handled police reform protests
was the source of the challenges we face today. That’s an understandable
assertion, but one that is fundamentally wrong. >GLIIHUHQW VHTXH`
The tensions seen before and after the terrible bloodshed in Brooklyn are tremors
along a deep historic riff of distrust between law enforcement and communities
of color. We would be remiss to deny it, and reckless to let it go unaddressed.

PUBLIC SCHEDULE FOR MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO FOR TUESDAY,

JANUARY 20, 2015
All times local:
On Monday night, Mayor Bill de Blasio will depart New York City for Paris,

Jewish community leaders to honor and commemorate the victims of the terror
attacks that occurred there earlier this month.
The Mayor will stand in solidarity with our friends in Paris and across France to

succeed.

appears below.

it was a surprise sort of visit because it really was only announced a very short

while before he actually departed.” Anchor Michael Garguilo: “Right, and
there’s many things that he’s going to be doing this morning. And it really shows
the significance and the solidarity of two cities that have faced terror related
challenges -- both Paris and of course New York. And we saw a lot of
expressions of sympathy from the people of Paris on 9/11. The mayor, no doubt,
wants to return those expressions of solidarity and sympathy to the people of
Paris as well.”@ 7KH PD\RU ZLOO DOVR PHHW ZLWK WKH PD\RU RI 3DULV >Anchor
Darlene Rodriguez: “With Mayor de Blasio’s visit -- the White House was
sharply criticized, you might remember, for not sending a high-level person --
the president nor the vice president -- to represent the United States when they
had that peaceful march and rally last week. So, this is very significant. Anchor
Michael Garguilo: “I want to also point out the woman you see to the mayor’s
left there -- I believe that is the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo. Very interesting
woman. She is actually the daughter of Spanish immigrants who came after the
Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s.”]

“Michael it was a surprise sort of visit because it really was only announced a very short
while before he actually departed.” Anchor Michael Garguilo: “Right, and there’s many
things that he’s going to be doing this morning. And it really shows the significance and the
solidarity of two cities that have faced terror related challenges -- both Paris and of course
New York. And we saw a lot of expressions of sympathy from the people of Paris on 9/11. The
mayor, no doubt, wants to return those expressions of solidarity and sympathy to the people
of Paris as well.”@ 7KH PD\RU ZLOO DOVR PHHW ZLWK WKH PD\RU RI 3DULV >Anchor Darlene
Rodriguez: “With Mayor de Blasio’s visit -- the White House was sharply criticized, you
might remember, for not sending a high-level person -- the president nor the vice president --
to represent the United States when they had that peaceful march and rally last week. So, this
is very significant. Anchor Michael Garguilo: “I want to also point out the woman you see to
the mayor’s left there -- I believe that is the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo. Very interesting
woman. She is actually the daughter of Spanish immigrants who came after the Spanish Civil
War in the late 1930s.”]

An excellent piece. And since it includes the entire quote on Dante from my Staten Island speech, it
is a reminder that I should have rapid responsed Pat lynch the very same day as his "thrown cops

Will Bill de Blasio teach liberals that liberals with a spine win?
DAILY KOS - Egberto Willies - January 18, 2015
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is the liberal that all liberals should mimic. He is sticking to the liberal
values that got him elected by an overwhelming 73 percent of the vote. He refuses to attenuate his stance
on social justice even as sects within the New York City Police Department are attempting to coerce him
into doing so. He remains the stiff-spine liberal that takes no crap.
De Blasio clearly was never going to be a hero to NYPD’s rank-and-file leadership. He campaigned in
support of a more inclusive department and to rein in stop-and-frisk policing. The NYPD leadership could
not quite frame him as an anti-law-and-order liberal because he broke away and supported certain
policing methods many liberals were apprehensive about. He did not want to end stop-and-frisk or
"broken windows" policing outright—he wanted to use those policies as tools when necessary. This meant,
of course, less racial profiling and much less harassment for the sake of showing police authority.
The NYPD rank-and-file leadership thought they got their moment with de Blasio’s comment after police
officer Daniel Pantaleo choked Eric Garner to death, which can be read below the fold.
The mayor said the following:
“This is profoundly personal to me. I was at the White House the other day, and the president of the United
States turned to me, and he met Dante a few months ago, and he said that Dante reminded him of what he
looked like as a teenager. And he said I know you see this crisis through a very personal lens. And I said to
him, I did. Because Chirlane and I have had to talk to Dante for years about the dangers that he may face. A
good young man, law-abiding young man who would never think to do anything wrong. And yet, because
of a history that still hangs over us, the dangers he may face, we’ve had to literally train him—as families
have all over this city for decades—in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police

officers who are there to protect him.
“And that painful sense of contradiction that our young people see first, that our police are here to protect
us, and we honor that, and at the same time, there’s a history we have to overcome, because for so many
of our young people, there’s a fear. And for so many of our families, there’s a fear. So I’ve had to worry
over the years. Chirlane’s had to worry. Is Dante safe each night? There are so many families in this city
who feel that each and every night. Is my child safe? And not just from some of the painful realities—crime
and violence in some of our neighborhoods—but is safe from the very people they want to have faith in as
their protectors.”
Patrick Lynch, the thuggish president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, used the mayor’s heartfelt
statement as a faux declaration of war. He tried to spin the mayor’s statement as an attack on New York
City police officers. The reality is that most Americans and New Yorkers, admittedly or not, know policing
tends to be race-biased. Lynch was banking on willful ignorance, hoping for subliminal trivialization.
Lynch believed he got the appropriate opening to turn the screws on the mayor when two NYPD officers
were assassinated in cold blood. He gave a speech where his inner thug emerged as he accused the mayor
of having blood on his hands and threatened anyone who disagreed with his position.
The mayor did not cower. In a subsequent press conference, de Blasio refused to allow reporters to dictate
the Lynch-inspired narrative. He appeared on national TV and defended his reasons for demanding change
in policing even as he showed his support for the NYPD.
Some progressive journalists did what many progressives do when they are unsure of outcomes—they
cower into criticizing a liberal on a limb. Slate’s Leon Neyfakh wrote a piece, “Bill de Blasio’s Bad Bet,” in
which he gave so-called law enforcement experts a platform:
“The result of these trends—which are consistent with changes at other big-city police departments around
the country, including Los Angeles’ and Chicago’s—is that the racial makeup of New York’s police force is
getting close to that of the city’s overall population. This is progress that promises, at least in theory, to
improve relations between police and minority communities. But does it also have the potential to make
police departments more open to criticism from liberal politicians?
The de Blasio administration seems to have thought the answer was yes. But law enforcement experts say
this is a naive way to think about police culture. The idea that race and ethnicity were going to overpower
the loyalty that officers feel toward their department and thus translate into good will for the mayor, they
argue, was nothing more than wishful thinking.
“[De Blasio] figured that the demographics were in his favor because it’s not all white cops anymore, I
guess,” Joe Giacalone, a NYPD detective sergeant who retired in 2012, told me. “What it comes down to is
that most cops are ‘blue’ before they’re anything else. That’s what he failed to take into consideration. He
doesn’t understand the police culture, which is an us vs. them mentality.”
Neyfakh shows a lack of understanding of human behavior in his piece. Adapting to a culture to remain
employed is much different than being of that culture or accepting of that culture. It is called survival.

De Blasio is playing the long game, betting on what real liberals know. Liberal values are the values most
yearn for but are coerced away from. If one keeps one's eyes on the ball and disregards the noise from the
weak-minded, ultimately good values win.
It turns out that the NYPD rank and file is not as homogeneous in their response to de Blasio. Lynch’s
officers rebelled against him in a recent meeting:
“Lynch’s union, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA), is in turmoil, beset by infighting, according to
interviews with more than 40 police officers and union insiders. His support among the rank-and-file is
slipping, they said.
On Tuesday, a group of union insiders is set to announce a campaign to unseat him in the upcoming June
election, several PBA trustees said. Since being elected in 1999, Lynch, who rose to power on a promise of
term limits and reforming a union riven by corruption, has faced scant opposition.
"Pat Lynch has lost the membership,” said police veteran and union delegate Sean Guzerian. "The bosses
don’t respect him, and the cops are tired of him. They look at him as a politician, not a police officer." ...
From there, the unrest grew. Board meetings became more acrimonious, several PBA Trustees said.
“Paddy’s become like a dictator,” said union delegate Robert Andersen. “It’s his way or the highway. And
that’s the end of it.”
Inasmuch as the “liberal press” has not given de Blasio a break or the benefit of the doubt—except for
some New York Times editorials that excoriated Lynch and the police unions—a recent Quinnipiac poll has
been favorable. It showed that a plurality of New Yorkers can see through the fog.
It is refreshing to watch a liberal that does not compromise values. It is refreshing to see a liberal that
bends only when pragmatism dictates it. Most importantly, de Blasio’s methods must be instructive to
cowering liberals who would compromise their values, compromises that have been proven failures over
and over again. The Bill de Blasios of this country must be propped up by us all in the real independent
media. After all, the "liberal media" and the traditional mainstream media are busy castigating liberals
while they build up failed policies of everyone else.

STATEMENT OF MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S STATE OF THE

UNION ADDRESS
"I commend President Obama for the bold vision he outlined tonight to tackle income
inequality, lift up more hardworking families, and reinvest in the middle class. From
creating a fairer tax code, to making college more affordable and expanding measures
like paid sick leave, the President is committed to doing what it takes to ensure every
American has a fair shot. President Obama's common-sense proposals will help rebuild
and strengthen the American economy by focusing on growing the middle class and
preparing more Americans for 21st Century jobs.
“Here in New York City, we’ve extended the right to paid sick leave to a million New
Yorkers, raised the living wage and expanded it to thousands more workers, and made
unprecedented investments in education. These are among the many policies that
we’ve put forward over the past year that will help bridge the inequality gap and help
more hardworking New Yorkers get ahead.
“It is high time for more cities across the country to follow on this sensible path toward
stronger cities and a stronger middle class. Tonight, I extend my deepest gratitude to
President Obama for re-affirming his focus on working families, and I offer him New
York City’s unflinching support as he implements his middle class agenda nationwide.”

STATEMENT OF MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
"Tonight, President Obama laid out his clearest vision yet for how the United States must tackle the
greatest challenge of our time: income inequality.
“In today’s global economy, where the majority of wealth is held by one percent of the world’s
population, we need a champion of the middle class, the working class and the working poor in the
White House more than ever.
“As I’ve said before, we can’t wait to address these issues and we must renew calls for the wealthiest
to pay their fair share so that we can all move together as one nation on the path toward greater
prosperity.

“I commend the President for doubling down on policies to rebuild and strengthen the American
economy and offer him New York City’s unflinching support as he implements his middle class

Much better. Not just middle class though. Also the poor and working class who are working to get
into the middle class. That's what child care and paid sick and min wage do. And the call for the
Richie Riches to pony up is important.

UNION ADDRESS
"I commend President Obama for the bold vision he outlined tonight to tackle income
inequality, lift up more hardworking families, and reinvest in the middle class. From
creating a fairer tax code, to making college more affordable and expanding measures
like paid sick leave, the President is committed to doing what it takes to ensure every
American has a fair shot. President Obama's common-sense proposals will help rebuild
and strengthen the American economy by focusing on growing the middle class and
preparing more Americans for 21st Century jobs.
“Here in New York City, we’ve extended the right to paid sick leave to a million New
Yorkers, raised the living wage and expanded it to thousands more workers, and made
unprecedented investments in education. These are among the many policies that
we’ve put forward over the past year that will help bridge the inequality gap and help
more hardworking New Yorkers get ahead.
“It is high time for more cities across the country to follow on this sensible path toward
stronger cities and a stronger middle class. Tonight, I extend my deepest gratitude to
President Obama for re-affirming his focus on working families, and I offer him New

York City’s unflinching support as he implements his middle class agenda nationwide.”

UNION ADDRESS
"Tonight, President Obama laid out his clearest vision yet for how the United States
must tackle the greatest challenge of our time - income inequality – and said what
Americans across the country have known for some time: the time to act and to defeat
this challenge is now. In today’s global economy, where the majority of wealth is held
by one percent of the world’s population, we need more than ever a champion in the
White House for the middle class, the working class, and those trapped in vice grip of
poverty. As I’ve said before, we can’t wait to address these issues. We must ensure
the wealthiest pay their fair share so we can move together as one nation toward
greater prosperity. Cities must act, as we have in New York City on values like paid sick
leave, immigration reforms, universal pre-kindergarten, and better wages, so together
we pursue a path toward stronger cities and greater opportunity laid out by President
Obama tonight.”

Hi Roxanne,
It looks as though the weekly planning meeting has been moved

up to 6:15 tomorrow evening. Any chance there is another time
tomorrow that might work to do the comms meeting? Perhaps
we could try for 5:30? Happy to find a time on Friday if helpful.

Hey John-
I meant to send some bullets last week in case any of this is helpful for the SOTC. Top lines here, I
think are:
To be a 21 st Centrury City, we must be innovative and inclusive.
1. Innovating – fastest and largest free wi-fi network in the world on the streets of every
borough AND it has enabled us to commit $10M to help get low income New Yorkers
broadband access at home;
2. We’ve gotten broadband to 7 NYCHA computer centers
3. We are investing in opportunities for more women and minority owned firms engaged in
building our city
There is more in the document that my team pulled together, but just wanted to share a sense of
the bigger points.

Improving the City’s MWBE Program
x When it comes to closing the inequality gap in this City, one of our powerful tools is the
City’s Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises Program.
x I’m proud to say this year we elevated the role of this program, are planning further
investments and are already seeing the results
x First, I appointed the first-ever City-wide MWBE Director, my counsel Maya Wiley, who
brings a long and distinguished resume as a civil rights lawyer and expert in equity-
based public policies
x Second, next month we will be commissioning a new City-wide study to determine
where the City may be underutilizing women and minority-owned firms. The results of
this study will help us ensure we’re spending tax dollars in a fair manner in all the
communities that make New York great.
x Third, we invested an additional $8.7 million in technical assistance and other
improvements to help MWBEs grow through the City’s program.
x The improvements are significant – the City has awarded $690 million in prime and
subcontracts to certified MWBEs in FY14, a 57% increase from the year before.
Broadband
o LinkNYC:
o We are bringing free, super high-speed Internet service to neighborhoods across
the five boroughs.
o LinkNYC will replace the City’s outdated payphones with the world’s largest and
fastest public wifi network, with speeds ranging from 100 mbps—twice as fast as
the average home connection—to 1 gigabit.
o The project will be deployed at no cost to taxpayers and will generate $500
million in revenue in the first 12 years, creating resources to support home
broadband access for New Yorkers who need it.
o In 2015, $10M in project revenue will support wireless projects in low-income
communities.
o Policy Advocacy: We advocated at the federal and state levels to shape policies related
to our broadband goals
o Time Warner/Comcast:
Raised questions concerning the impact of the merger on low-income
households, infrastructure deployment and a range of other issues
important to New Yorkers.
We brought to light questions about the impact of the merger on small
business and the City’s growing tech sector.
o Net Neutrality:
With colleagues in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, staked out a
strong position in favor of re-classification of broadband as a

telecommunications service regulated under Title II of the federal
Communications Act.
The President ultimately adopted a very similar position.
o E-Rate:
Advocated for increase of the E-Rate cap, which was subsequently raised
by $1.5B. (May decide not to mention E-Rate given other issues)
o BTF:
o We convened a Task Force of 15 diverse leaders in the broadband sector. Task
Force will inform Administration strategies, with a focus on competition,
municipal options and removal of barriers to expanding access and increasing
affordability.
o One of its first projects will be launch of a “Call for Innovations,” soliciting ideas
for bringing affordable, sustainable, high-speed broadband to the New Yorkers
who need it most.
o NYCHA PCC:
o Wired 7* Public Computer Centers with broadband and upgraded hardware at
two additional sites. In 2015, will send an additional van providing mobile service
into the field.
o (Note: two of initial 7 were wired by DYCD before NYCHA got to them but we can
still count them since it was done under this Administration. Per NYCHA done by
1/16/15.)
o Libraries Mifi Project:
o We brokered a partnership between the public libraries, Google and a range of
philanthropic partners that will result in 10,000 personal wifi devices being
distributed to participants in library afterschool, ESL and technological literacy
programs.
o The program will serve as a model for other jurisdictions as well as for federal
officials.
Gender
o Supporting and implementing policies that represent huge gains for women in NYC—
pre-k for all, paid sick leave, living wage, prevailing wage.
o At the UN, the First Lady signed a historic MOU on gender equality in connection with
the upcoming Beijing +20 conference
o City’s partnership with UN women will advance shared goals of ending gender-
based violence and promoting gender equality
o As part of the partnership, the City will participate in public education connected
to the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (Beijing
+20), a historic set of commitments agreed upon by representatives from 189
nations in 1995.
o The partnership will also create a platform for advancing the City’s goals related
to reducing violence against women. Notably, the City will share best practices
for increasing the safety of women and girls and will educate and engage other
cities on such issues.

o This year we will appoint new leadership at the Commission on Women’s Issues,
renewing the body’s commitment to improving the lives of women and girls across the
City and launching new strategies for meeting these important goals.

The most amazing thing about this piece is that they are already messaging against the
campaign manager. They are literally proving with their first big story that they learned
no lessons from the past. #Philippe
“Here’s the rub: A trio of people with substantial juice will be

above campaign manager Robby Mook — with Podesta, who is
leaving his West Wing post as counselor next month for a short
stay at the Center for American Progress until the campaign
formally launches, serving as chairman; family consigliere
Cheryl Mills serving as a top adviser, regardless of whether she
is on the inside or outside (a possible title: co-chair); and
longtime close aide Huma Abedin, the most important non-
Clinton in her orbit. (When the White House wants to reach
Clinton, Abedin gets the call.) Philippe Reines, one of the longest
serving Hillary whisperers, will be another crucial outside
adviser.”

STATE OF THE CITY DRAFT
1/28/15 – 10am
ESTIMATED LENGTH: 45 minutes – NEED TO CUT
Acknowledgements:
(WILL TIP HAT TO CITY COUNCIL, AMONG OTHERS)
OPEN:
For centuries, New York has been seen around the world as a place of boundless
possibilities…. where hard work and raw grit are rewarded like nowhere else. It is
where, 100 years ago, my grandparents began a new life after leaving the
familiarities of their home in Southern Italy. They – like so many others – chose
THIS place for a reason.
Those of us who call this city home know that reason well. It’s why we put up with
crowded subways and noisy streets. It’s why people who live here LOVE to live
here. Our city hums with purpose; it shines with prospects.
Early 20th century novelist Thomas Wolfe put it beautifully: “In New York the
opportunities for learning, and acquiring a culture that shall not come out of the
ruins, but belong to life, are probably greater than anywhere else in the world.”
ALT:
As the writer John Steinbeck put it: “Once you have lived in New York and made it
your home, no place else is good enough.”
Opportunity, innovation and a spirit of inclusiveness are coded in New York’s DNA.
But the idea that New York is truly a place for everyone – the promise at the
core of what makes our city so great and special – is at risk.
It’s at risk because the people who LOVE to live here are finding it increasing
difficult to AFFORD to live here.

Oportunidad , la innovación y un espíritu de inclusión están codificados en el código

genético de Nueva York .
Pero la idea de que Nueva York es realmente un lugar para todo el mundo - la
promesa en el núcleo de lo que hace a nuestra ciudad tan grande y especial - está en
riesgo.

Es en riesgo debido a las personas que les gusta vivir aquí les resulta difícil
aumentar el lujo de vivir aquí.
You can see it the tired eyes of the single mother in Brighton Beach, working two
jobs and barely scraping together enough for the most modest of living
arrangements to share with her kids.
You can see it in the worn hands of the fast food worker in Eastchester, consumed
with worry as the calendar approaches the first of next month.
You can see it in furrowed brow of the senior living in Bayside, as she sweeps her
porch to put off thinking about whether she’s saved enough to keep her middle-class
home, or whether it’s time to discuss her adult son’s offer to have her move in.
When we talk about taking dead aim at the Tale of Two Cities – when we talk about
our vision for creating One New York, rising together – we’re talking about the very
PROMISE of New York – a city that offers opportunity not just to the lucky few, but
to ALL 8.4 million people who call it home.
We’re talking about protecting the very IDEA of a place where anything is possible
for ANYONE willing to work hard and dream big.
We know where our strength comes from… why we are the global capital of
opportunity. We are a city of neighborhoods – five boroughs filled with people
from every background – with every single one deserving a shot at one thing: living,
working, and raising children in a safe, thriving city, so that hardworking parents
are granted the gift that has made our city a shining light for centuries: being able to
pass the PROMISE of New York on to the NEXT generation.
But today, too many families are getting priced out of their own city.
Nearly half our city living at or near the poverty level, even while we are home to
more millionaires than Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston combined. CHECK
One of the major drivers of the growing inequality we face – and one of its most
intense expressions – is the unaffordability of housing.
The math is cold and straightforward:
If you were making $50,000 in the year 2000, chances are you haven’t seen any real
increase in your wages since then. Most New Yorkers haven’t, when you adjust for
inflation. But – on average – an apartment that cost you $1,000 a month then likely
costs more than $1,700 now. So by staying in the same home, you’ve gone from
spending less than a quarter of your income on housing -- to about 40%. CHECK
So it’s no wonder that people feel like they are being priced out.

Now, let’s be clear: we face big challenges that are not isolated to New York City. A
recent analysis by the New York Times found that the American middle class has
been shrinking for almost half a century, and is 20% smaller today than it was in
1967.
But we don’t need a study to tell us that this problem is felt more acutely here in
New York. We feel it in our own lives… See it on the faces of our neighbors… Even
those of our kids.
And if we do not act and act boldly, New York risks becoming little more the world’s
largest gated community. A sterile, static place where not just PEOPLE – but ideas,
innovations, and the profound contributions that have always defined our city -- are
priced out.
New York success stories are rarely fairy tales. The most powerful achievements
here have been fueled not by simply charm and luck, but by hard work, vision and
determination.
Think about the people who have made the most important contributions to our
city. How many of them STARTED OUT wealthy?
If unaffordability leads to a New York where struggle with a singular sense of

purpose cannot yield great success, then we lose a big part of who we are.
So to that end, we have to ask: could Walt Whitman make it here today? How about
Patti Smith? Could Lloyd Blankfein make it from East New York to the helm of
Goldman Sachs? Jay-Z -- from the Marcy Houses, to Roc Nation?
What if Joseph Papp – the son of Russian immigrants – had not gotten his shot?
Would there be a Public Theater?
What about Jonas Salk – also a son of immigrants – hadn’t had his opportunity?
Would we still be battling the scourge of polio today?
Would Sonya Sotomayor – the daughter of Puerto Rican-born parents – have made it
from the South Bronx to the Supreme Court?
If we as a city fail to face the affordability crisis that we know today, how many
stories of THIS generation of young New Yorkers will be denied that triumphant
ending?
That is why we must reverse the trend of housing unaffordability... Not just slow the
growth of the number of our brothers and sisters who are rent-burdened, but start
driving that number DOWN. Building more affordable housing…pushing against the
tide on ever-rising rents…creating new affordable neighborhoods for new
generations of New Yorkers.

How?
By fighting to drive wages UP, and housing and other living expenses DOWN.
By literally building UP: increasing the density of neighborhoods across five

boroughs to help reduce the burden of unaffordability…. that fear faced by so many
that their own neighborhoods are becoming too expensive to stay in.
There’s precious little room on the ground in this city to build the units we need to
make housing more affordable… but there’s so much space… so much potential to
get to the heart of what’s driving inequality in our city…. if we’re ALL willing to take
the simple step of looking up.
In 2014, we took on many efforts to address the affordability crisis – the most
prominent our successful bid to secure quality, universal, full-day Pre-K, and after-
school programs for every middle-school child – something bold and meaningful,
and something that so many said we couldn't do.
Our mission for 2015 will be every bit as central to the cause of combatting income
inequality – fighting to ensure that New Yorkers can afford to live and work and
STAY in the city they love.
This is our core mission in 2015, and I’m here to discuss – in detail – how we plan to
achieve a vision of a more affordable New York – building affordable housing UP,
and building wages UP.
But let us first take just a few moments to reflect on what we accomplished,
together, this past year.
2014 was a year of bold action and powerful results. It was also a year that showed
that a progressive agenda WOULDN’T result in economic calamity as so many cynics
predicted. Quite the opposite, last year, New York saw:
* 94,500 jobs added in 2014 – the highest year-to-date growth rate in the past 20
years.
* 3.5 million private sector jobs – all-time high.
* Unemployment rate down 1% since July – steepest two-month decline since

reporting began in 1976.
The economic indicators make clear that the state of our city is strong.

* Awarded $690 million in prime and subcontracts to certified MWBEs in FY14, a
57% increase from the year before;
* Spurred job creation by investing in projects like Brooklyn Navy Yard and
Brooklyn Army Terminal, and the first full-service movie studio to be built on Staten
Island;
* Established Vision Zero.
* Since the start of this administration, the Department of Transportation has filled
more than half a million potholes. [More than 493,000 in 2014 and more than
15,000 so far this year.]
* Built upon PlaNYC with an historic commitment to reducing greenhouse gases in

the fight against climate change and other preventable disasters.
* Settled expired contracts with over 72% of the city’s labor force -- signing deals
that were not only fair to the workers that contribute so much to making this city
function, but also fair to the taxpayers they serve.
* And most important, we kept our people safe – driving crime down to its lowest
point ever, with the lowest number of homicides ever, and the lowest number of
robberies ever – all while beginning the process of retraining our police force and
equipping them with new technology to keep our neighbors safe AND our officers
safe.
And we are committed to continue that trend, by equipping the NYPD with the most
sophisticated and high-tech tools available – from shot-spotter sound equipment
that allows them to pinpoint the source of gunshots; to smartphones that give
instant, detailed information on suspects; to bullet-proof vests that help protect
them from the dangers they face on the job each day.
And we’ve used the tools at our disposal to begin to rebuild our middle class – for
those in it, and those striving to work their way into it.
We’ve done that by laying the foundation for lifting our neighborhoods UP – from
job creation and health care, to education and environmental protection and transit.
Just a few examples:
To help foster job growth, we’ve expanded the Tech Talent Pipeline – a catalyst for
jobs both in tech and all those jobs connected to tech – by increasing public AND
private funding to reach $10M.

We’ve continued to expand Media/TV/Film – (NEED STATS)…and expanded
modern manufacturing (EXAMPLE?)
We’ve supported small businesses with smarter implementation of inspection

process/curbing ticket blitz that held so many back.
And we’re providing tax relief for small businesses with a reduction small
businesses across our city, including a 50% reduction for small manufacturing firms.
With the First Look program, we’ve invested in middle-skill job training for up to
30,000 people each year, prioritize good-paying full-time job placements at
workforce agencies, and requiring companies doing business with the City to move
New Yorkers to the front of the hiring line.
And we’ve placed a premium on hiring LOCAL workers – such as in East New York,
where 200-unit affordable housing project in East New York that tapped the talent
pool of workers actually FROM East New York.
We’ve halted the closure of every Brooklyn hospital that was set to shut its doors –
and are poised to add a dozen more community health centers this year. CHECK
We’ve invested in Healthcare Clusters, anchored by higher education institutions,

hospitals, and growing biotech companies – improving our city’s health, while
seeding the jobs of the innovation economy. The life sciences industry the sector
accounted for 13,742 jobs in New York City, paying an average salary of $77,000.
NEED MORE INFO ON #1 IN LIFE SCIENCES GOAL
In the coming year, we’ll expand on what we’ve done to improve education --
continuing to expand Pre-K and after-school; focus on community schools as
neighborhood anchors; implementing summer jobs programs like the Mayoral
Center for Youth Employment through the Mayor’s Fund; investing in Renewal
Schools; increasing the CUNY budget to give more New Yorkers the training they
need to fill growing number of skilled jobs; and continuing to expand workforce
development and job training through programs like Career Pathways.
We are taking bold steps to make our city sustainable for the next generation –
retrofitting buildings to protect our environment and create thousands of new jobs
– creating incentives for those who participate voluntarily, or issuing mandates if
need be; investing in Zero Waste Schools; improving PlaNYC (NEED DETAILS);
expanding NYCHA recycling; and opening XXX new parks and open spaces in our
neighborhoods.
We are working to innovate our transit system, because building a city for everyone
also means improving our transportation infrastructure to make sure EVERY
neighborhood has a viable commute to the areas of the city where most jobs exist.

Few neighborhoods have overcome more in recent years than the Rockaways. The
resilience of New Yorkers who live there in the face of nature’s fury exemplifies all
that is good about our city. We owe it to them -- and to so many others –not to let
their opportunities be constricted by geography.
So we’re proposing a citywide ferry expansion to be completed by 2017. Ferries

will be priced at the same price as a MetroCard and have the potential to unlock
15,000 or more units of housing currently in transit deserts like Red Hook,
Soundview, and yes, the Rockaways AND to connect CURRENT residents in
neighborhoods like these to good jobs throughout the City. No New Yorker should
EVER have to rule out signing a lease or accepting a job offer because of an
effectively impossible commute. Ferry expansion will go a long ways towards
achieving that goal.
We will expand Bus Rapid Transit – or BRT (FLAG: NEED DETAILS) – servicing 400K
people – in places like Utica Ave in Brooklyn, Woodhaven Blvd in Queens…
completing 20 routes over the next four years … dramatically cutting transit time.
(BE SPECIFIC)
And a city for everyone recognizes transformational infrastructure projects when it

sees them – the type of projects that fundamentally improve our local economy…
and create thousands of jobs in the process.
That’s why we need federal support for Penn Station redevelopment and the
Gateway project—a new tunnel under the Hudson River. Our current tunnels are
crumbling, and this is an essential piece of infrastructure to support our economy
and keep our people safe.
All of the steps that we are taking to strengthen neighborhoods mean very little if
everyday New Yorkers can’t afford to live in them.
In 2012, 55 percent of renters in New York were spending more than 30 percent of
their income on housing – up 11 points in just over a decade. Spending more than
30 percent of income on housing is known as being rent-burdened. It’s an apt
description: the cost of living in this city is becoming a heavier and heavier burden.
A burden on parents AND their adult children…a burden on hopes and aspirations.
We cannot and will not let that trend continue.
That’s why our absolute highest priority is making housing more affordable.
A lack of affordability is not isolated to a single neighborhood or a single borough.

Just the opposite, is felt by nearly every New Yorker these days, one way or another:

As a result of this Administration’s policy, 27% of the units created are guaranteed
to be affordable… and to stay that way. The result: nearly 500 new units of
affordable housing from one single project, with many, many more to follow,
including:
a. East New York: 7,000 units

b. Long Island City: 4,000 units
c. Flushing West: 1,500 units
d. East Harlem (not yet announced): 3,000 units
CURRENT EXAMPLES/PROPOSALS:
Sunnyside project -- develop 197 acres in one of the city’s largest undeveloped
areas.
Generational opportunity to created mixed-income housing.

Create tens thousands of units of housing and millions of square feet of commercial,
community, and cultural uses connected by a network of open spaces.
An example of defying the principle that they aren’t making any more land.
Not just driven by need for affordable housing, but also smart urban revitalization
that recognizes and embraces ethnic and economic diversity of city.
We call on state government and Amtrak to be partners in this project.
And a proposed project on the South Bronx Waterfront will create a new mixed-use
district on the South Bronx waterfront that connects the neighborhood to Port
Morris and the Harlem River. Can create 4,000 housing units and 1,500 new jobs.
Our approach also means initiatives to protect those who face the heaviest – and the
cruelest – burdens of unaffordability.
Set-asides for struggling New Yorkers, but also:
FIRST RESPONDERS PLACEHOLDER
10K units for seniors on fixed incomes, who have worked hard all their lives, and
want to retire here – who deserve to live their golden years with some dignity,
especially when they can’t meet rising housing costs by working towards a raise.
We also commit to END chronic veterans homelessness by the end of THIS year, and
senior homelessness by 20XX. We as a city cannot sit by and allow those who are
most vulnerable – and those who have contributed the most -- to be subjected to the
harshest of realities. It’s not who we are.
10

And speaking of who we are, New York would not the cultural capital of the world
without contributions from artistic visionaries at one point struggled to get by.
That’s why we’re committing to 1,500 units of affordable housing for writers, artists,
musicians, and those who make New York City culture so vibrant. They help make
our city a mecca for tourists; bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; serve as role
models to young people who want to pursue natural talents in industries that don’t
always hold the promise of a big paycheck.
This small commitment could be the difference between whether or not our city
fosters the creation of the next On the Road…. Or the next “Remain in Light.”
And this year we will increase oversight of accessibility standards in the private
market, as well as in city’s regulated affordable housing stock, and fight for greater
housing subsidies for New Yorkers with disabilities.
And we know that New York’s always found room for its people to live above each
other, while working and interacting on the streets together. It’s a celebration of
our diversity – forcing all of us to see all the world’s people every time we cross the
street, enter a park, exit the subway.
So to make our city more affordable, we will build HOUSING up.
At the same time, we will fight to build WAGES up.
We know the lack of affordability in New York has as much to do with stagnant
wages as it does with rising costs. Now, we can’t snap our fingers and give every
New Yorker a pay increase – but here’s something that would have a meaningful
impact for so many: Raise. The. Minimum. Wage.
Let me be absolutely clear, this Administration will not rest until the minimum wage
is increased to $13.13 an hour – with indexing. (PLACEHOLDER, PENDING
DECISION ON THIS ISSUE)
It would create an upward pull on wages for countless hardworking New Yorkers. It
would give a sorely needed boost to our brothers and sisters that need it the most.
And it would make our city and fundamentally fairer AND more prosperous place.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted left-wing “socialist” that he was (!) – wanted all the
workers on his assembly line to be able to afford the cars they spent their days
manufacturing. He didn’t do it to be charitable; he did it because he knew it was
good for business. I’d say it worked out pretty well for him.
We will not stop there.
We will also expand local EITC (FLAG: $50-200M, TBD)
11

Placeholder for paid family leave city employee possible proposal TBD
That’s how we’ll make New York City more affordable – with more affordable
housing options for those who live here, and better wages and benefits for those
who work here.
Mayor Ed Koch believed in the best of people, and the best of this city. So from a
landscape in the Bronx that was literally smoldering, he announced the boldest plan
for affordable housing in New York’s history.
Koch and his administration realized that housing policy is about more than zoning
and regulation. He saw the transformative power of city government to revitalize
whole communities… and the lives of New Yorkers who call them home. His
administration stated the mission clearly: “we’re creating more than just
apartments – we’re re-creating neighborhoods.”
Critics said it couldn’t be done (REQUESTING QUOTE FROM MAHEN, CAN’T FIND
BUT SURE RESEACH PROS CAN), but in the end, Koch’s plan did more to strengthen
our city’s many neighborhoods than just about any other public policy in our
lifetimes.
In the same way, our plan will be criticized. There will be voices that say it can’t be
done. But we’re committed to doing it – especially as crime is now lower than ever;
our schools are getting more investment than ever; and our city is growing faster
than ever (CHECK). We will do this because we will have 9 million people by year
2040.
Indeed, where Koch’s challenge was transforming housing policy for a shrinking
city, ours is in many ways the opposite. We face the challenge of dealing with a city
where more and more people want to live. It’s a nice problem to have, but it’s a
major challenge nonetheless.
So as we set out to make our growing city more affordable and equitable, we must
not lose sight of WHY our city is a beacon for so many. It’s not the cleanest place,
nor the most tranquil. We don’t have the best weather or many alluring natural
landmarks. But we have something special, something unique: an idea at our core –
a PROMISE – that ours is a city…. THE city for EVERYONE.
That promise is what allowed my grandmother as a newly emigrated Italian to start

a female-owned embroidery business -- Misses Briganti -- here in the year 1910.
Our city’s promise is the animating force behind great stories that span centuries
and generations.
12

And as we grow – and we will grow – it is imperative that we not let that promise
break… that we not be the first generation of New Yorkers to let those stories end
abruptly.
It is no easy task, but we won’t be derailed. We won’t be timid in the face of big
challenges. John F. Kennedy put it well: "There are risks and costs to a program of
action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable
inaction."
This Administration -- like the people we are so honored to serve – is about action.
And when it comes to taking on the affordability crisis that threatens the core of
who we are, we will act -- and we will act boldly.
And we will do it because New Yorkers, and their neighborhoods are what keep us
from becoming a Gilded City… they are what make us One New York, Rising
Together.
STILL NEEDED:
x Something on standing up for executive action on immigration

x Shout-out to Sanitation workers
x Our personal stories
13

We are further delayed. Will send a note when everyone should gather.

Estimates reflect gross employment impacts associated with construction
and ongoing maintenance and operations of market rate housing projects.
They do not account for short- or long-term displacement of other economic
activity and, therefore, may not reflect "net new" jobs created in NYC.
2
Employment impacts are estimated based on hard costs derived from
McGraw Hill construction data, the assumption that hard costs comprise 80%
of total construction costs, and input-output multipliers (RIMS II) from the U.S.
Bureau of Economic Analysis. The per unit construction cost is assumed to
be approximately $486,000, resulting in an estimated aggregate construction
cost for all 160,000 units of $77.8 billion (in 2015 dollars).
3
Employment reflects the total number of full- and part-time jobs across the
duration of the construction project.
4
Per City Hall, over the next 10 years, it is assumed that approximately
160,000 market rate housing units will need to be built. Permanent jobs
associated with those units have been estimated using EDC's standard
employment density ratio for market rate housing of 10 occupied residential
units per job and the following assumptions: long-term maximum occupancy
is 95%; 75% of jobs will be associated with building maintenance; and the
remaining 25% of jobs will be related to property management.

I want to begin by telling you a distinctly New York story.
More than 100 years ago, a young woman named Anna Briganti arrived in our city
after emigrating from Grassano, a small town in southern Italy rich in natural
beauty, but scarce in opportunities for its people.
Briganti traded picturesque hillsides, and tranquil, open fields…for an apartment on

East 17th Street in Manhattan…a redbrick home with very little in the way of comfort
or quiet.
But Anna’s new home offered her something that her old home did not: profound
possibilities to create a better life… for herself…AND for her children.
So, in the year 1910 -- a decade before our country granted women the right to vote
– Anna opened an embroidery company: Misses Briganti… its very name a proud
symbol of a woman-owned business.
This woman, Anna Briganti, was my grandmother. I am here because of her. My

story is only possible because she chose to come to New York City.
And most of us here – in this room and across our five boroughs – can trace our path
to New York to a similar story… whether it began last century…or last month…we
are here for a REASON.
It’s why we pack into crowded subway cars and fumble for bedside earplugs in the
middle of the night. It’s why those of us who live here – despite all the logical
arguments to the contrary -- LOVE to live here.
Our city shines with a sense of purpose so bright that it is visible across the globe.
Opportunity, innovation, and a spirit of inclusiveness – those qualities are coded in

New York’s DNA.
But the idea that New York is truly a place for everyone – the promise at the core of
what makes our city so great and so special – is at risk.
It is at risk because the people who love to live here are finding it increasing difficult
to AFFORD to live here.

And in a city where about half of our residents speak something other than English
as home, let me say it like this:

riesgo.
You can see the struggle for affordable living each day in New York -- in the tired
eyes of the single mother in Coney Island, who’s working two jobs and barely
scraping together enough for the most modest of living arrangements to share with
her kids.
with worry as the calendar approaches the first of next month…the day that rent is
due.
porch to chase away thoughts of whether she’s saved enough to keep her very
middle-class home…or whether it’s time to consider her adult son’s offer to have her
move in.
to ALL 8.4 million people who call our city home.
In 2014, we achieved so much for our city.
We delivered progressive change in our effort to combat inequality and lift up our
families.
Free, full-day Pre-Kindergarten…for EVERY child.
After-school programs opened across all five boroughs.
With the help of the City Council and its distinguished Speaker Melissa Mark-
Viverito -- paid sick leave for 500,000 more New Yorkers.

An expansion of living wage for many more workers.
Ending the overuse of stop-and-frisk and dramatically reducing arrests for

small amounts of marijuana.
At the same time, thanks to our skilled and courageous men and women in uniform,
we’ve not only kept New York City safe – we’ve made it even safer.
The men and women of the NYPD helped bring our city’s crime rate to an
ALL-TIME low – with the lowest number of murders, robberies, and
burglaries on record.
The FDNY that responded to a record of more than 1.6 MILLION emergency
calls.
The Corrections Department took the difficult but critical step of ending
punitive segregation for adolescents in New York City jails.
We’ve fought to keep our streets safe and clean for drivers and pedestrians.
We established Vision Zero -- bringing pedestrian deaths down to a level not

seen since 1910.
We faced down 11 winter storms – among the snowiest years our city has
ever seen. (MG CHECKING)
And after the salt trucks and snowplows did their critical work…filling nearly
a half-MILLION potholes. (JDC – CHANGED IT TO KEEP IT ALL IN 2014)
We built on the great work of the Bloomberg Administration to tackle issues like
climate change and the damage inflicted by the severe weather linked to it.
New York City proudly committed itself to “80 by 50” – a dramatic, game-
changing 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gases by the year 2050. We are
retrofitting not just some, but EVERY public building.
We helped repair the devastation left by Superstorm Sandy – beating our

very ambitious goals – with new construction on more than 1,000 new
homes, and providing badly-needed reimbursements to more than 2,000
homeowners – with more work to be done.
We balanced our budget in a way that was fair, responsible, and in keeping with our
progressive values.
Tentatively settling expired contracts with over 72% of the city’s workforce –
with deals that are fair to both our city workers AND to taxpayers.

Awarding $690 million in prime and subcontracts to certified minority and
women-owned businesses, a 57% increase from the year before.
We took meaningful steps to connect everyday New Yorkers to jobs, health care, and
the city’s social safety net.
Creating the Tech Talent Pipeline to connect New Yorkers from every
borough and background to the jobs of the future.
Helping create 3000 new jobs at Brooklyn Navy Yard and 1800 new jobs at
Brooklyn Army Terminal.
Starting a job assistance program in Career Pathways that helps New Yorkers
in need find good, permanent jobs.
Halting the closure of community hospitals that were set to shut their doors –
and beginning the process adding a dozen more community health centers
this year.
Beginning a citywide effort, led by our distinguished First Lady, to identify

the gaps in mental health coverage offered in New York.
Creating and implementing Municipal ID – for both citizens and

undocumented New Yorkers – with 100,000 New Yorkers already taking
advantage of it, and another 100,000 expressing interest.
We opened new doors of opportunity to our young people.
Fostering the creation of more community schools that serve as the anchors
for entire neighborhoods.
Implementing year-round jobs programs like the Mayoral Center for Youth
Employment through the Mayor’s Fund, so that our kids have the
opportunity to learn lifelong skills.
Creating brand new PROSE schools – a new, specialized and innovative type
of school that allow teachers and principals to set aside rules that hinder
innovation.
Investing $150 million in the Renewal Schools Program to identify, help and
FIX broken schools so that every child in every neighborhood gets the quality
education they deserve.
All of these things have and will continue to strengthen our neighborhoods – making
our city a little better each day for so many.

But you can’t enjoy the full bounty that New York has to offer if you can’t afford to
actually LIVE here.
So while the state of our city is strong…the affordability crisis we face threatens to
undermine that progress.
Put simply: too many families are getting priced out of their own city.
The math behind our skyrocketing housing costs is cold and straightforward.
In 2012, almost 55 percent of renters in New York were spending more than 30
percent of their income on housing – up 11 points in little more than a decade.
Spending more than 30 percent of income on housing is what’s know as being “rent-
burdened.”
That is an apt description, since the cost of living in this city is becoming a heavier
and heavier burden. A burden on parents AND their adult children…a burden on
hopes and aspirations.
We cannot and WILL not let that trend continue.
Ask yourself:
In today’s New York, would Howard Schultz have made it from the Bay View
Houses…to the helm of Starbucks? Jay-Z -- from the Marcy Houses…to Roc Nation?
Would Sonya Sotomayor have made it from the Bronxdale Houses…all the way to
the Supreme Court?
If we, as a city, fail to face the affordability crisis that we know today…how many
ending?
How will we, in a city where there is only so much land, accomplish this?
We’ll do it literally by building UP: increasing the density of neighborhoods across

our five boroughs to help reduce the lack of affordable housing stock…battling the
fear, faced by so many, that their own neighborhoods are becoming too expensive to
stay in.
And we will do everything in our power to keep those who HAVE found an
affordable place to live in the homes they have.

To be clear, we are NOT embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers in
the vast majority of our neighborhoods. We know we have a duty to protect and
preserve the culture and character of every neighborhood in every borough.
But the addition of just a few more stories on the buildings we see every day – six to
eight story structures, or building on lots that have been vacant for decades -- would
mean so many more SUCCESS stories for generations of New Yorkers who’d
otherwise be priced out.
Of all the efforts we made in 2014 to address the affordability crisis – the most
prominent was our successful bid to secure universal, full-day Pre-K – something
bold and meaningful…and something that so many said we couldn't do.
And -- even as we were on our way to winning the funding we needed from Albany -
- the naysayers had a SECOND mantra: that we would never find enough SPACE to
put the kids and teachers, anyway.
But thanks to the enormous energy of parents, activists, community leaders, elected
officials and others of good conscience throughout our city, we proved the cynics
wrong on BOTH counts – securing the money, and then – thanks to leaders of public,
private, AND religious schools – finding the space to house them.
inequality as Pre-K was last year – fighting to ensure that New Yorkers can afford to
live and work and STAY in the city they love.
That begins with our affordable housing plan, which we haven’t just TALKED about
– we’ve written up, in detail. Here it is – right here. (HOLD UP PLAN.)
Just like last year, I’m sure the critics will once again question our ability to
IMPLEMENT this plan. But you know what? We’re going to fuel that same
grassroots effort – from community leaders, to everyday New Yorkers from all
walks of life – to DEMAND the results we seek.
And just like those public schools and charter schools and Catholic schools and
Orthodox schools opened their doors to four-year-olds seeking Pre-K…we are going
to call on every single stakeholder in this city, in every neighborhood, to join our
mission of finding the space, the will, AND the money to build and preserve
affordable housing.
To start, we have to preserve AND STRENGTHEN our rent regulations, or risk losing
hundreds of thousands of units of affordable housing. Likewise, we will aggressively
pursue something I’m calling the Stuy Town Statute – an expanded city authority
that would do so much to protect tenants… and indeed, whole communities – vastly
extending our ability to help communities like Stuy Town stay affordable for the
folks who call it home.

Even without that additional authority, this Administration is doing everything we
can to make sure that housing units that are affordable today STAY that way.
Sheryl Morse is president of a co-op in Ft. Greene. She needed help with major
repairs in her building – home to 159 families. So the city intervened – providing
the funds necessary for needed repairs. It’s was a small step on the scale of our city,
but it certainly didn’t feel small to those 159 families. For them, it was a life
preserver in powerful waters that threatened to price them out of New York.
Now, make no mistake: we won’t be satisfied to simply keep what we’ve got from
getting worse.
That’s why -- as your mayor -- I am committed to seeing New York City DOUBLE the
number of affordable housing units built in the NEXT ten years, compared to the
rate of the last 25 years.
That means building and protecting affordable housing for up to half a million New
Yorkers… Or more than the populations of Miami, Atlanta or Kansas City.
The plan we announced this past year creates or preserves 200,000 units of
affordable housing over a decade. And we’re more than on track to hit that mark…
Our goal for 2014 was 16,000 units; the number we got to: 17,300.
This Administration is not anti-development. Just the opposite – we see the creation
of more housing as a good thing. Even when new housing isn’t designated as
affordable, it can help lower rents for neighborhoods by eliminating scarcity. That’s
why we have a goal of 160,000 market rate units. All told -- when coupled with our
plan for affordable housing – it will mean the creation of 660,000 construction jobs
and over 22,000 permanent ones.
But let me be absolutely clear on this: As long as I am Mayor, when the city re-zones
a neighborhood to unlock new housing capacity, we won’t merely ENCOURAGE
developers to build affordable housing… we will REQUIRE them to.
This is a fundamentally new and different approach that prioritizes affordability so

that development benefits ALL New Yorkers, not just those who can afford luxury
condos.
To that end, we are creating a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program that will
apply to ALL major residential re-zonings. It means that for the very first time in
New York’s history, providing affordable housing will be a CONDITION of residential
development. We will drive a hard bargain with developers – making sure that
PEOPLE are the guiding force in our affordable housing efforts, not the builders.
Want to see this approach in action? Look at Astoria Cove in Queens.

As a result of this Administration’s policy, a quarter of the units created are
guaranteed to be affordable… and to stay that way. The result: over 450 new units
of affordable housing from one single project…. That’s 450 families that no longer
have to choose between living in THE city they love, and a city they can afford…. And
it’s hundreds of kids who will live and learn and grow amidst the iridescence of a
city of opportunity.
This mindset – the new rule that affordable housing is priority that is GUARANTEED,
not an option for developers to pursue on a whim – will apply to every
neighborhood that the city rezones for residential development, as long as I am your
mayor.
And there are MANY more projects like this, coming soon to a neighborhood near
you:
East New York – Add note on capital investment TK

Long Island City
Flushing West
East Harlem
North Shore Staten Island
Cromwell-Jerome in Bronx
Stapleton/Bay Street Corridor
Each of these projects has potential to make neighborhoods more desirable and
affordable. But few proposed projects in any city have the potential to create
equitable, sustainable development on the scale of Sunnyside Yards.
There currently sits 167 acres of raw potential in the heart of Queens, in the form of
a rail yard – and only a rail yard. But the fact is, those tracks could easily exist
underground – allowing us to build affordable housing above them.
It’s a plan that respects that green space and common places are prerequisites for a
great neighborhood…. That recognizes glass and steel are not what makes a place
great… and that luxury condos are not what makes an area desirable. Because the
value of our parks is not the views they afford the multi-million dollar condos
perched above them, but the joy that New Yorkers from all walks of life get from
accessing their serenity and spirit.
Let’s call this project what it is: a no brainer for the city of New York. That’s why we
call on state government and Amtrak and the MTA to be partners in this project. It
will mean so much to so many.
Along the same lines, a proposed project on the South Bronx Waterfront would
create thousands of new units of affordable housing in an area that has gone
neglected for generations.

With a location 20 minutes away from midtown Manhattan on the 2-train, it’s a
center of opportunity waiting to be born.
And with a $200 million investment, this project shows the city is willing to put its
money where its mouth is when it comes to affordable development, driving growth
in a part of the city where development has been seen only on the distant horizon of
new Manhattan skyscrapers.
And we can’t talk about neighborhoods emblematic of the Tale of Two Cities we live
without discussing the Rockaways. Battered by years of economic distress even
before Sandy’s gale force winds hit, there is no place in our city that has persevered
through more. We have a plan to jumpstart the process of acquiring underutilized
properties that have been in disrepair for years, with the intent of creating new,
affordable housing for thousands of Rockaway residents.
And we must remember that providing affordable housing means connecting

neighborhoods in the five boroughs to large job centers of our city – and that means
transportation.
For years, it has simply been posited that certain neighborhoods in our City are
doomed to isolation because of their geography.
Think of what that status quo leads to.
If you live in a neighborhood like Red Hook or Soundview, then a job in Midtown can
easily mean an hour or more of commuting, even when the skyline is cruelly visible
from your home. You can actually SEE opportunity, but practically speaking, it’s out
of your reach.
That is the reality for so many New Yorkers today, but it is one that is about to
change.
That’s because we are proposing a new citywide ferry service to be open for
business by 2017. Ferries will be priced at the same price as a MetroCard, so they
are as open to everyday New Yorkers as our subways and busses. And beyond
connecting current residents of transit deserts to opportunities, it has potential to
unlock 15,000 or more units of housing by making these areas a viable commute for
those that work in Manhattan.
And we have a plan to expand Bus Rapid Transit – or BRT – servicing 400,000 New
Yorkers – in places like Utica Ave in Brooklyn, Woodhaven Blvd in Queens…
completing a network of 20 routes over the next four years … dramatically cutting
transit time by 15-25% on existing routes, and connecting New Yorkers in every
borough to opportunity.

All of this adds up to a housing plan that recognizes every neighborhood in every
borough matters.
Our plan also recognizes that every New Yorker matters, and we will fight for those
whose burdens of unaffordability are the heaviest.
So we’re proposing 10,000 units for seniors on fixed incomes, who have worked
hard all their lives, and want to retire here – who deserve to live their golden years
with some dignity, especially when they can’t meet rising housing costs by working
towards a raise.
Now, New York would not the cultural capital of the world without contributions
from artistic visionaries who at one point struggled to get by.
That’s why we’re committing to 1,500 units of affordable housing for writers, artists,
musicians, and those who make New York City culture so vibrant, as well as 500
dedicated affordable workspaces for artists. Our artistic community helps make our
city a mecca for tourists; bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; serve as role models to
young people who want to pursue natural talents in industries that don’t always
hold the promise of a big paycheck.
We’re also proposing a program to physically bring first responders closer to the
communities they serve by offering a significant incentive to live within New York
City: the reduction of a down payment when buying a home to 5% -- instead of the
typical 20% -- saving New Yorkers in uniform an average of $75,000 in up front
homeowner costs.
For middle-class New York tenants, we will continue to do what we’ve already done
– fighting to keep rents as reasonable as possible. And on that count, we are proud
to have made history in 2014 – securing the lowest rent increase in the history of
New York City – protecting New Yorkers from every neighborhood in our city from
falling victim to the greed of landlords who had won again and again and again.
And we will take unprecedented steps to address the scourge of homelessness in

New York.
We commit to END chronic veterans homelessness by the end of THIS year, because
no one who risks everything to protect our way of life should be left with nothing
when they come home.
Consider this. Out city spends about $3,000 a month to keep a person in a homeless
shelter. So it just makes sense to pursue a plan to co-locate shelters with permanent
affordable housing, so that those on the streets can have their own home instead of
their own cot. It’s a simple but creative idea that won’t cost anything -- and could
potentially save the city money – while helping end the unacceptable and tragic
circumstances that thousands face every day.
10

Now, we know the cause of at least SOME of the dramatic lack of affordable housing
in New York – gentrification.
But before we dismiss gentrification as an immutable and unstoppable force, let’s

understand the tools that we DO have to fight for affordable housing for the New
Yorkers that only want to stay in the homes – and the neighborhoods – they love.
First, as I’ve said, we will work with developers who are willing to build affordable
housing at the level that we require. For those developers, we will drive a hard
bargain – but we will lead a FAIR bargain – since they will be helping us deliver the
more affordable New York we seek.
On the other hand, there will be developers who do NOT wish to work with us – who
think affordable housing just isn’t worth it to them. Okay. Then you’re free to do
other things in New York. But don’t expect to be treated as you have before – free to
build market rate housing while affordable housing goes ignored. It won’t happen.
Finally, there are those who not only choose to ignore the new framework, but
actually continue to violate the rules already in place. The slumlords -- those who
would drive tenants out of the places where they live.
If you break the rules, it’s simple: we’re going to throw the book at you.
When I was Public Advocate, we published the Worst Landlords Watchlist – calling
out those who refused to make simple repairs to the units they controlled. I applaud
our current Public Advocate Tish James for continuing this effort.
And then there are those who go even further – refusing to make repairs, or even
harassing those living in their buildings – for one reason, and one reason only – to
drive those tenants out, so that the buildings in certain neighborhoods – in the
middle of a red-hot real estate market -- can be sold or rented to NEW tenants for a
far greater price.
For those of us familiar with, and somewhat stung by, the phenomenon of
gentrification – these individuals peddle a particularly pernicious product. They are
not only driving people from their neighborhoods – they are profiting from it in the
most insidious of ways.
For these people – call them Gentrification Predators, or Block-Busters, or what you
will – know this: they will feel the full weight of the law.
Let me be even more specific. If you are a tenant who is the victim of this type of
harassment – a coercion to leave your apartment simply so the landlord can flip the
building to capitalize on rising real estate sales – you won’t be left on your own to
hold them accountable.
11

That’s why I’m announcing today that ANY New Yorker who finds themselves
victims of this effort will enjoy a new right in Housing Court – a free, city-appointed
attorney to take up their case against the predatory landlord and seek justice before
a judge. You shouldn’t have to be rich to enjoy this protection – because why do we
even HAVE tenant protection laws if we cannot – or will not – find the way to
enforce them?
To sum up, all of the steps on housing I’ve spoken about – from responsibly building
up to hard requirements for affordability on developers – go right at to the heart of
our affordability crisis. We know there is no silver bullet to solving this problem,
and that housing costs won’t fall overnight. But – for first time in a generation – we
are acting aggressively in the face of what has become a crisis. The old rules failed
too many – the NEW rules will rebuild a city for everyone.
We also know the lack of affordability in New York has as much to do with stagnant
wages as it does with rising costs.
Now, we can’t snap our fingers and give every New Yorker a pay increase – but our
city can take real steps to drive wages up.
It starts by recognizing that small businesses are the most powerful engines in our
economy. More than half of New York City jobs are created by small businesses….
And they do so much to strengthen the communities they serve.
We have a four-part plan to make New York the most small business friendly city in
American.
First, we want to make it easier for small businesses to start and grow here by
reducing the red tape and costs it takes to start a business. The entrepreneurial
spirit of everyday people is what built this city – we should not strangle it with red
tape.
Second, we want to make sure that when you have a small business, you’re not going
to be overwhelmed by fines and penalties for minor infractions. Small business
owners have enough to worry about.
Third, we’re going to cut small businesses taxes to foster growth and new hiring.
And forth, we are going to make access to capital easier, so that the success of
businesses is determined by the quality and of the products or services they
provide, not by a hasty decision from a bank.
A thriving small business economy will mean higher wages for everyday New
Yorkers.
12

But there’s another, equally critical step that must be taken.
So let me be absolutely clear, this Administration will not rest until the minimum
wage is increased to $13.13 an hour – with indexing.
It would create an upward pull on wages for countless hardworking New Yorkers. It
would give a sorely needed boost to our brothers and sisters that need it the most.
And it would make our city and fundamentally fairer AND more prosperous place.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted leftwing “socialist” that he was (!) – wanted all the
who work here.
Our task – ending the Tale of Two Cities and making re-building an affordable New
York -- won’t be easy. And there will be critics who say it just can’t be done… that
our destiny is one as a city for a few, not a city for everyone.
But our city is no stranger to facing big challenges, nor to overcoming them.
Mayor Ed Koch -- from a landscape in the Bronx that was literally smoldering—
announced what was, at the time, the boldest plan for affordable housing in New
York’s history.
Koch saw the transformative power of city government to revitalize whole

communities… and the lives of New Yorkers who call them home. His
And it worked. Because of Koch’s efforts, a city that was shrinking when he took
office is growing…fast.
So WE face the challenge of dealing with a city where more and more people want to
live. It’s a nice problem to have, but it’s a major challenge nonetheless.
[Optional Joke: “Thanks, Mayor Koch”.]

More than 100 years ago, a young woman named Anna Briganti arrived in our city
after emigrating from Grassano, a small town in southern Italy rich in natural
beauty, but scarce in opportunities for its people.
Briganti traded picturesque hillsides, and tranquil, open fields…for an apartment on

East 17th Street in Manhattan…a redbrick home with very little in the way of comfort
or quiet.
But Anna’s new home offered her something that her old home did not: profound
So, in the year 1910 -- a decade before our country granted women the right to vote
– Anna opened an embroidery company: Misses Briganti… its very name a proud
symbol of a woman-owned business.
This woman, Anna Briganti, was my grandmother. I am here because of her. My

story is only possible because she chose to come to New York City.
And most of us here – in this room and across our five boroughs – can trace our path
to New York to a similar story… whether it began last century…or last month…we
are here for a REASON.
It’s why we pack into crowded subway cars and fumble for bedside earplugs in the
middle of the night. It’s why those of us who live here – despite all the logical
arguments to the contrary -- LOVE to live here.
Our city shines with a sense of purpose so bright that it is visible across the globe.
Opportunity, innovation, and a spirit of inclusiveness – those qualities are coded in

New York’s DNA.
But the idea that New York is truly a place for everyone – the promise at the core of
what makes our city so great and so special – is at risk.
It is at risk because the people who love to live here are finding it increasing difficult
to AFFORD to live here.
And in a city where about half of our residents speak something other than English
as home, let me say it like this:

very ambitious goals – with new construction on more than 1,000 new

We balanced our budget in a way that was fair, responsible, and in keeping with our

of school that allow teachers and principals to set aside rules that hinder
innovation.
Investing $150 million in the Renewal Schools Program to identify, help and
FIX broken schools so that every child in every neighborhood gets the quality
education they deserve.
All of these things have and will continue to strengthen our neighborhoods – making
our city a little better each day for so many.

But you can’t enjoy the full bounty that New York has to offer if you can’t afford to
actually LIVE here.
So while the state of our city is strong…the affordability crisis we face threatens to
undermine that progress.
Put simply: too many families are getting priced out of their own city.
The math behind our skyrocketing housing costs is cold and straightforward.
In 2012, almost 55 percent of renters in New York were spending more than 30
percent of their income on housing – up 11 points in little more than a decade.
Spending more than 30 percent of income on housing is what’s know as being “rent-
burdened.”
That is an apt description, since the cost of living in this city is becoming a heavier
and heavier burden. A burden on parents AND their adult children…a burden on
hopes and aspirations.
We cannot and WILL not let that trend continue.
Ask yourself:
In today’s New York, would Howard Schultz have made it from the Bay View
Houses…to the helm of Starbucks? Jay-Z -- from the Marcy Houses…to Roc Nation?
Would Sonya Sotomayor have made it from the Bronxdale Houses…all the way to
the Supreme Court?
If we, as a city, fail to face the affordability crisis that we know today…how many
ending?
How will we, in a city where there is only so much land, accomplish this?
First, we will do everything in our power to keep those who HAVE found an
affordable place to live in the homes they have.
And we’ll create MORE affordable housing by literally building UP: increasing the
density of neighborhoods across our five boroughs to help reduce the lack of
affordable housing stock…battling the fear, faced by so many, that their own
neighborhoods are becoming too expensive to stay in.

To be clear, we are NOT embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers on
every block. We know we have a duty to protect and preserve the culture and
character of every neighborhood in every borough.
But the addition of just a few more stories on the buildings we see every day – six to
eight story structures, or building on lots that have been vacant for decades -- would
mean so many more SUCCESS stories for generations of New Yorkers who’d
otherwise be priced out.
Of all the efforts we made in 2014 to address the affordability crisis – the most
prominent was our successful bid to secure universal, full-day Pre-K – something
bold and meaningful…and something that so many said we couldn't do.
And -- even as we were on our way to winning the funding we needed from Albany -
- the naysayers had a SECOND mantra: that we would never find enough SPACE to
put the kids and teachers, anyway.
But thanks to the enormous energy of parents, activists, community leaders, elected
officials and others of good conscience throughout our city, we proved the cynics
wrong on BOTH counts – securing the money, and then – thanks to leaders of public,
private, AND religious schools – finding the space to house them.
inequality as Pre-K was last year – fighting to ensure that New Yorkers can afford to
live and work and STAY in the city they love.
That begins with our affordable housing plan, which we haven’t just TALKED about
– we’ve written up, in detail. Here it is – right here. (HOLD UP PLAN.)
Just like last year, I’m sure the critics will once again question our ability to
IMPLEMENT this plan. But you know what? We’re going to fuel that same
grassroots effort – from community leaders, to everyday New Yorkers from all
walks of life – to DEMAND the results we seek.
And just like those public schools and charter schools and Catholic schools and
Orthodox schools opened their doors to four-year-olds seeking Pre-K…we are going
to call on every single stakeholder in this city, in every neighborhood, to join our
mission of finding the space, the will, AND the money to build and preserve
affordable housing.
To start, we have to preserve AND STRENGTHEN our rent regulations, or risk losing
hundreds of thousands of units of affordable housing. Likewise, we will aggressively
pursue something I’m calling the Stuy Town Statute – an expanded city authority
that would do so much to protect tenants… and indeed, whole communities – vastly
extending our ability to help communities like Stuy Town stay affordable for the
folks who call it home.

Even without that additional authority, this Administration is doing everything we
can to make sure that housing units that are affordable today STAY that way.
Sheryl Morse is president of a co-op in Ft. Greene. She needed help with major
repairs in her building – home to 159 families. So the city intervened – providing
the funds necessary for needed repairs. It’s was a small step on the scale of our city,
but it certainly didn’t feel small to those 159 families. For them, it was a life
preserver in powerful waters that threatened to price them out of New York.
Now, make no mistake: we won’t be satisfied to simply keep what we’ve got from
getting worse.
That’s why -- as your mayor -- I am committed to seeing New York City DOUBLE the
number of affordable housing units built in the NEXT ten years, compared to the
rate of the last 25 years.
That means building and protecting affordable housing for up to half a million New
Yorkers… Or more than the populations of Miami, Atlanta or Kansas City.
The work of Bloomberg Administration on this issue – creating and preserving

165,000 units of affordable housing during his term – was impressive and
admirable.
We the plan we announced this past year goes even further to create or preserve
200,000 units of affordable housing over a decade. And we’re more than on track to
hit that mark… Our goal for 2014 was 16,000 units; the number we got to: 17,300.
This Administration is not anti-development. Just the opposite – we see the creation
of more housing as a good thing. Even when new housing isn’t designated as
affordable, it can help lower rents for neighborhoods by eliminating scarcity. That’s
why we have a goal of 160,000 market rate units. All told -- when coupled with our
plan for affordable housing – it will mean the creation of 660,000 construction jobs
and over 22,000 permanent ones.
But let me be absolutely clear on this: As long as I am Mayor, when the city re-zones
a neighborhood to unlock new housing capacity, we won’t merely ENCOURAGE
developers to build affordable housing… we will REQUIRE them to.
This is a fundamentally new and different approach that prioritizes affordability so

that development benefits ALL New Yorkers, not just those who can afford luxury
condos.
To that end, we are creating a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program that will
apply to ALL major residential re-zonings. It means that for the very first time in
New York’s history, providing affordable housing will be a CONDITION of residential

development. We will drive a hard bargain with developers – making sure that
PEOPLE are the guiding force in our affordable housing efforts, not the builders.
Want to see this approach in action? Look at Astoria Cove in Queens.
As a result of this Administration’s policy, a quarter of the units created are

guaranteed to be affordable… and to stay that way. The result: over 450 new units
of affordable housing from one single project…. That’s 450 families that no longer
have to choose between living in THE city they love, and a city they can afford…. And
it’s hundreds of kids who will live and learn and grow amidst the iridescence of a
city of opportunity.
This mindset – the new rule that affordable housing is priority that is GUARANTEED,
not an option for developers to pursue on a whim – will apply to every
neighborhood that the city rezones for residential development, as long as I am your
mayor.
And there are MANY more re-zonings like this, coming soon to a neighborhood near
you:
East New York

Long Island City
Flushing West
East Harlem
North Shore Staten Island
Cromwell-Jerome in Bronx
Stapleton/Bay Street Corridor
Each of these projects has potential to make neighborhoods more desirable and
affordable. But few proposed re-zonings in any city have the potential to create
equitable, sustainable development on the scale of Sunnyside Yards.
There currently sits 167 acres of potential in the heart of Queens, in the form of a
rail yard – and only a rail yard. But the fact is, those tracks could easily exist
underground – allowing us to build housing – much of it affordable -- above them.
As we work with the community to create a plan that recognizes green space and
common places are prerequisites for a great neighborhood…. That recognizes glass
and steel cannot by themselves make a place great… and that luxury condos are not
what makes an area desirable. Because the value of our parks is not the views they
afford the multi-million dollar condos perched above them, but the joy that New
Yorkers from all walks of life get from accessing their serenity and spirit.
Let’s call this project what it is: a no brainer for the city of New York. That’s why we
call on Amtrak and the MTA to be partners in this project. It will mean so much to
so many.

Along the same lines, a proposed project on the South Bronx Waterfront would
create thousands of new units of affordable housing in an area that has gone
neglected for generations.
With a location 20 minutes away from midtown Manhattan on the 2-train, it’s a
center of opportunity waiting to be born.
And with a $200 million investment, this project shows the city is willing to put its
money where its mouth is when it comes to affordable development, driving growth
in a part of the city where development has been seen only on the distant horizon of
new Manhattan skyscrapers.
And we can’t talk about neighborhoods emblematic of the Tale of Two Cities we live
without discussing the Rockaways. Battered by years of economic distress even
before Sandy’s gale force winds hit, there is no place in our city that has persevered
through more. We have a plan to jumpstart the process of acquiring underutilized
properties that have been in disrepair for years, with the intent of creating new,
affordable housing for thousands of Rockaway residents… and basic commercial
development that grants people the simple comfort that comes from dinner out and
a movie in your own neighborhood.
And we must remember that providing affordable housing means connecting

neighborhoods in the five boroughs to large job centers of our city – and that means
transportation.
For years, it has simply been posited that certain neighborhoods in our City are
doomed to isolation because of their geography.
Think of what that status quo leads to.
If you live in a neighborhood like Red Hook or Soundview, then a job in Midtown can
easily mean an hour or more of commuting, even when the skyline is cruelly visible
from your home. You can actually SEE opportunity, but practically speaking, it’s out
of your reach.
That is the reality for so many New Yorkers today, but it is one that is about to
change.
That’s because we are proposing a new citywide ferry service to be open for
business by 2017. Ferries will be priced at the same price as a MetroCard, so they
are as open to everyday New Yorkers as our subways and busses. And beyond
connecting current residents of transit deserts to opportunities, it has potential to
unlock 15,000 or more units of housing by making these areas a viable commute for
those that work in Manhattan.

And we have a plan to expand Bus Rapid Transit – or BRT – servicing 400,000 New
Yorkers – in places like Utica Ave in Brooklyn, Woodhaven Blvd in Queens…
completing a network of 20 routes over the next four years … dramatically cutting
transit time by 15-25% on existing routes, and connecting New Yorkers in every
borough to opportunity.
All of this adds up to a housing plan that recognizes every neighborhood in every
borough matters.
Our plan also recognizes that every New Yorker matters, and we will fight for those
whose burdens of unaffordability are the heaviest.
So we’re proposing 10,000 units for seniors on fixed incomes, who have worked
hard all their lives, and want to retire here – who deserve to live their golden years
with some dignity, especially when they can’t meet rising housing costs by working
towards a raise.
Now, New York would not the cultural capital of the world without contributions
from artistic visionaries who at one point struggled to get by.
That’s why we’re committing to 1,500 units of affordable housing for artists,
musicians, and those who make New York City culture so vibrant, as well as 500
dedicated affordable workspaces for artists. Our artistic community helps make our
city a mecca for tourists; bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; serve as role models to
young people who want to pursue natural talents in industries that don’t always
hold the promise of a big paycheck.
We’re also proposing a program to physically bring first responders closer to the
communities they serve by offering a significant incentive to live within New York
City: the reduction of a down payment when buying a home to 5% -- instead of the
typical 20% -- saving New Yorkers in uniform an average of $75,000 in up front
homeowner costs.
For middle-class New York tenants, we will continue to do what we’ve already done
– fighting to keep rents as reasonable as possible. And on that count, we are proud
to have made history in 2014 – securing the lowest rent increase in the history of
New York City – protecting New Yorkers from every neighborhood in our city from
falling victim to the greed of landlords who had won again and again and again.
And we will take unprecedented steps to address the scourge of homelessness in

New York.
We commit to END chronic veterans homelessness by the end of THIS year, because
no one who risks everything to protect our way of life should be left with nothing
when they come home.
10

Consider this. Out city spends about $3,000 a month to keep a person in a homeless
shelter. So it just makes sense to pursue a plan to co-locate shelters with permanent
affordable housing, so that those on the streets can have their own home instead of
their own cot. It’s a simple but creative idea that won’t cost anything -- and could
potentially save the city money – while helping end the unacceptable and tragic
circumstances that thousands face every day.
Now, we know the cause of at least SOME of the dramatic lack of affordable housing
in New York – gentrification.
But before we dismiss gentrification as an immutable and unstoppable force, let’s

understand the tools that we DO have to fight for affordable housing for the New
Yorkers that only want to stay in the homes – and the neighborhoods – they love.
First, as I’ve said, we will work with developers who are willing to build affordable
housing at the level that we require. For those developers, we will drive a hard
bargain – but we will lead a FAIR bargain – since they will be helping us deliver the
more affordable New York we seek.
On the other hand, there will be developers who do NOT wish to work with us – who
think affordable housing just isn’t worth it to them. Okay. Then you’re free to do
other things in New York. But don’t expect to be treated as you have before – free to
build market rate housing while affordable housing goes ignored. It won’t happen.
Finally, there are those who not only choose to ignore the new framework, but
actually continue to violate the rules already in place. The slumlords -- those who
would drive tenants out of the places where they live.
If you break the rules, it’s simple: we’re going to throw the book at you.
When I was Public Advocate, we published the Worst Landlords Watchlist – calling
out those who refused to make simple repairs to the units they controlled. I applaud
our current Public Advocate Tish James for continuing this effort.
And then there are those who go even further – refusing to make repairs, or even
harassing those living in their buildings – for one reason, and one reason only – to
drive those tenants out, so that the buildings in certain neighborhoods – in the
middle of a red-hot real estate market -- can be sold or rented to NEW tenants for a
far greater price.
For those of us familiar with, and somewhat stung by, the phenomenon of
gentrification – these individuals peddle a particularly pernicious product. They are
not only driving people from their neighborhoods – they are profiting from it in the
most insidious of ways.

For these people – call them Gentrification Predators, or Block-Busters, or what you
will – know this: they will feel the full weight of the law.
Let me be even more specific. If you are a tenant who is the victim of this type of
harassment – a coercion to leave your apartment simply so the landlord can flip the
building to capitalize on rising real estate sales – you won’t be left on your own to
hold them accountable.
That’s why I’m announcing today that ANY New Yorker who finds themselves
victims of this effort will enjoy a new right in Housing Court – a free, city-appointed
attorney to take up their case against the predatory landlord and seek justice before
a judge. You shouldn’t have to be rich to enjoy this protection – because why do we
even HAVE tenant protection laws if we cannot – or will not – find the way to
enforce them?
To sum up, all of the steps on housing I’ve spoken about – from responsibly building
up to hard requirements for affordability on developers – go right at to the heart of
our affordability crisis. We know there is no silver bullet to solving this problem,
and that housing costs won’t fall overnight. But – for first time in a generation – we
are acting aggressively in the face of what has become a crisis. The old rules failed
too many – the NEW rules will rebuild a city for everyone.
We also know the lack of affordability in New York has as much to do with stagnant
wages as it does with rising costs.
Now, we can’t snap our fingers and give every New Yorker a pay increase – but our
city can take real steps to drive wages up.
It starts by recognizing that small businesses are the most powerful engines in our
economy. More than half of New York City jobs are created by small businesses….
And they do so much to strengthen the communities they serve.
We have a four-part plan to make New York the most small business friendly city in
American.
First, we want to make it easier for small businesses to start and grow here by
reducing the red tape and costs it takes to start a business. The entrepreneurial
spirit of everyday people is what built this city – we should not strangle it with red
tape.
Second, we want to make sure that when you have a small business, you’re not going
to be overwhelmed by fines and penalties for minor infractions. Small business
owners have enough to worry about.
Third, we’re going to cut small businesses taxes to foster growth and new hiring.
12

And forth, we are going to make access to capital easier, so that the success of
businesses is determined by the quality and of the products or services they
provide, not by a hasty decision from a bank.
A thriving small business economy will mean higher wages for everyday New
Yorkers.
But there’s another, equally critical step that must be taken.
So let me be absolutely clear, as I’ve said before, this Administration will do all it can
to fight for the minimum wage in New York City to increase to $13.50 in 2016 and
then increase AGAIN to $15 by 2019.
This would create an upward pull on wages for countless hardworking New
Yorkers. It would give a sorely needed boost to our brothers and sisters that need it
the most. And it would make our city and fundamentally fairer AND more
prosperous place.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted leftwing “socialist” that he was (!) – wanted all the
who work here.
Our task – ending the Tale of Two Cities and making re-building an affordable New
York -- won’t be easy. And there will be critics who say it just can’t be done… that
our destiny is one as a city for a few, not a city for everyone.
But our city is no stranger to facing big challenges, nor to overcoming them.
Mayor Ed Koch -- from a landscape in the Bronx that was literally smoldering—
announced what was, at the time, the boldest plan for affordable housing in New
York’s history.
Koch saw the transformative power of city government to revitalize whole

communities… and the lives of New Yorkers who call them home. His
And it worked. Because of Koch’s efforts, a city that was shrinking when he took
office is growing…fast.
13

So WE face the challenge of dealing with a city where more and more people want to
live. It’s a nice problem to have, but it’s a major challenge nonetheless.
[Optional Joke: “Thanks, Mayor Koch”.]

2/3/15 – 915 AM
Thank you, Sheryl Morse, for that warm introduction.
Thank you to Mitchel Wallerstein for hosting us.
Thank you to Officer Leggio, and to Frederick Trapp of the DSNY.
And thank you Reverend Gabriel Salguero.
Thank you to my fellow elected officials in attendance: City Council Speaker Melissa
Mark-Viverito, Public Advocate Letitia James, City Comptroller Scott Stringer. Thank you
to the Borough Presidents, District Attorneys, Members of Congress, the City Council,
and the State Legislature who have joined us. And thank you to Mayor David Dinkins for
being here.
Thank you to my fellow New Yorkers!
And of course thank you to the First Lady.
More than a hundred years ago, a young woman named Anna Briganti arrived in our city
after emigrating from Grassano, a small town in southern Italy rich in natural beauty,
but scarce in opportunities for its people.
Anna traded picturesque hillsides, and small town familiarity… for an apartment at 205
East 17th Street in Manhattan, just a short walk from here…a place lacking the tranquil
comforts of her childhood…a neighborhood where few spoke her native language.
But Anna’s NEW home offered her something that her OLD one did not: profound
So, in the year 1910 -- a decade before our country granted women the right to vote –
Anna opened an embroidery company: The Misses Briganti… its very name a proud
symbol of single women – the “Miss-ES” referring to her sister, and her mother, and
herself – three women who started the business, together.
Anna Briganti was my grandmother. I am here because of her.

My grandmother’s story – like most New York success stories – was not a fairy tale. She
did not stumble upon success through luck or charm; she forged it with hard work and
raw grit.
And she lived in a place that rewarded those things in unique and powerful ways.
For generations, New York has been a city that unleashed human potential.
A place offering opportunity for EVERYONE, no matter how your life’s story began;
opportunity for innovators and visionaries to write new chapters in our history; and for
parents and grandparents to write brighter ones for the next generation.
And here’s the hard truth: all of that is at risk today.
It’s at risk because so many who LIVE in New York struggle to AFFORD to be here.
And, since only half of New Yorkers speak only English at home, let me say that a
different way:
Por generaciones [he-ne-rah-see-oh-nes], Nueva York ha sido una ciudad que le da

rienda [ree-en-dah] suelta [soo-el-tah] al potenciál humáno.
Pero aquí está la dúra verdad: todo eso está hoy en riésgo [ree-es-goh].
Está en riesgo [ree-es-goh] porque a muchas personas que viven aquí les cuésta [qwes-
tah] demasiádo PÓDER quedárse [kay-dar-say] aquí. Nosotros querémos cambiár eso.
You can see it all over New York -- in the eyes of the single mother in Coney Island,
working two jobs and barely scraping together enough for a modest apartment to share
with her kids.
You can see it in the worn hands of the fast food worker in Washington Heights,
consumed with worry as the calendar approaches the first of the month…the day the
rent is due.
You can see it in the furrowed brow of the senior in Rosebank on Staten Island, as she
sweeps her porch to chase away thoughts of whether she’s saved enough to stay in her
small house in the only neighborhood she’s ever called home.
If we do not act -- and act BOLDLY -- New York risks taking on the qualities of a gated
community… A place defined by exclusivity, rather than opportunity. And we cannot let
that happen.

Over the past two years, I’ve spoken about the need to take dead aim at the Tale of Two
Cities, and about our vision for creating One New York, rising together...a city where
EVERYONE has a shot at the middle class.
And while we have so much more work to do, 2014 was a year of great progress in our
effort to address inequality and lift up our families.
Some examples:
We achieved full-day Pre-K for more than 50,000 of our kids.
We nearly doubled enrollment in after-school programs for middle school kids

in all five boroughs.
By executive order, we expanded living wage coverage to 18,000 workers.
With the help of the City Council – and the strong leadership of my partner in
government, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito – we secured paid sick leave for
500,000 more New Yorkers.
We ended the overuse of stop-and-frisk, reducing stops by over 75%. And since
we instituted our new marijuana policy, arrests are down almost 65%.
At the same time, thanks to our courageous men and women in uniform, we’ve not only
kept New York City safe – we’ve made it even safer.
Our NYPD officers helped bring the city’s crime rate to an ALL-TIME low – with
the smallest number of murders, robberies, and burglaries on record.
The FDNY responded to a record 1.6 MILLION emergency calls…always at the

ready when New Yorkers needed help.
The Correction Department made sweeping reforms, including an end to

punitive segregation for adolescents in city jails.
Also in 2014, we fought to keep our streets safe and clean for pedestrians, cyclists, and
drivers alike.

seen since 1910.
We handled one of the snowiest winters our city has ever seen, with 11 winter
storms in 2014.

And after our sanitation workers did an extraordinary job clearing our
streets…our Department of Transportation workers filled nearly a half-MILLION
potholes.
In 2014, we took on climate change and the damage inflicted by the extreme weather
linked to it.
We built on the strong environmental record of the Bloomberg Administration

by committing to “80 by 50” – a dramatic, game-changing 80 percent reduction
in greenhouse gases in our city by the year 2050. And we will be retrofitting not
just some, but EVERY public building with significant energy usage by 2025.
We helped repair the devastation wrought by Superstorm Sandy – beating even

our ambitious goals – with construction starting on more than 1,000 homes; and
badly needed reimbursements provided to more than 2,000 homeowners.
And today, I want to make perfectly clear that EVERY reimbursement check will
be in the hands of those who need them by the end of THIS year. From Staten
Island to Canarsie to the Rockaways, families hit by the storm have been through
so much. This Administration will FINISH the job of helping them rebuild.
In 2014, we balanced our budget in a way that was honest, responsible, and in keeping
with our progressive values.
We came to contract agreements with over 71% of the city’s workforce, up from
ZERO the year before – signing deals that are fair to both our city workers AND
to our taxpayers.
We awarded $690 million in contracts to minority and women-owned

businesses, a 57% increase from the year before.
And we connected more New Yorkers to jobs, health care, and our social safety net.
We created the Tech Talent Pipeline to link New Yorkers from every borough and
background to a booming tech industry that now employs nearly 300,000
people, and is growing every day in our city.
We invested capital in new economic hubs to create 3,000 new jobs in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard and 1,000 new jobs at the Brooklyn Army Terminal that will
be there for years to come.
We announced our plan to redesign our workforce development system to arm

up to 30,000 New Yorkers a year with the skills for 21st century jobs.

We ended the fear of communities being left without critical care services when
their hospitals closed without warning – and began the process of opening half a
dozen new community health clinics.
We ended a ticket blitz on our small businesses, and are on track to save them
$5 million in petty fines -- money they can put towards growing and hiring.
With the help of the City Council, we created IDNYC– for both citizens AND
undocumented New Yorkers. Let’s be clear: Relegating ANY New Yorker to life in
the shadows is not who we are as a city. And I’m happy to report that -- less
than a month after this program’s inception -- more than 180,000 New Yorkers
have ALREADY made an appointment to get their ID.
And we began a major new effort – now led by our inspiring First Lady -- to
address the gaps in mental health coverage in New York City. This issue is
personal to Chirlane and me, and to so many families who’ve watched loved
ones fall through the cracks of an inadequate system. I can’t think of a smarter,
stronger, more compassionate person to lead our effort to change that than our
First Lady. Let’s thank her!
We opened new doors of opportunity for our young people.
We’ve begun to create 128 community schools – schools that serve the whole
child…offering everything from vision tests and mental health screenings…to
family counseling and tutoring.
We created 62 PROSE schools – a fresh, new model where teachers and

principals work together to set aside D-O-E and union rules that hinder
innovation…so we can better serve our kids.
And we invested in Renewal Schools…to FIX 94 struggling schools…because

EVERY child in every neighborhood deserves a quality education.
All of these things will make our neighborhoods stronger – and make life in our city
better for so many.
But you can’t tap into the opportunities that New York has to offer if you can’t afford to
actually LIVE here.
So I will say this:
While the state of our city is strong, we face a profound challenge. If we fail to be a city
for EVERYONE, we risk losing what makes New York…NEW YORK.

And nothing more clearly expresses the inequality gap…the OPPORTUNITY gap…than
the soaring cost of housing.
The math is pretty straightforward.
In 2014, 56 percent of rental households in New York were spending more than 30
percent of their income on housing – up 10 points in a little more than a decade.
Now spending more than 30 percent of your income on housing means you’re officially
“rent-burdened.” That’s an apt description, since the cost of living is becoming a
heavier and heavier burden -- not just on wallets, but on hopes and aspirations, as well.
So how did we end up here?
Part of the problem is that the city has for decades let developers write their own rules
when it came to building housing. SOMETIMES projects included affordable
housing…but far too often, they did NOT.
As the city expanded, our growth was guided primarily by the developers’ bottom lines.
That meant a bias towards luxury housing – units that fetched top dollar, but were
entirely out of reach for most New Yorkers…multi-million dollar homes that drove up
rents in the neighborhoods they occupied – all without a corresponding menu of
AFFORDABLE new options.
This Administration is taking a fundamentally different approach – one that not only
RECOGNIZES the need for more affordable housing…but DEMANDS it.
How will we do this?
First, we’re writing new rules… ones that MANDATE affordable housing as a condition of
development in areas re-zoned for residential use.
Second, we’ll do everything in our power to KEEP those who already have affordable
housing IN THEIR HOMES.
And third -- since we only have so much land -- we’ll create more affordable housing by
literally building UP… adding density to appropriate parts of our city.
Let me explain what that means.

We are NOT embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers where they don’t
belong. We have a duty to protect and preserve the culture and character of our
neighborhoods, and we WILL DO SO.
And as we invest in more affordable housing, we will also work with communities to
preserve the fabric of neighborhoods and invest in things that great neighborhoods
need -- from parks and schools…to shops and restaurants.
Now, there are some places in our city that have not yet been developed or zoned for
housing, but could be. And by taking steps like adding residential buildings to former
manufacturing sites -- or adding some six to eight story buildings in appropriate places
— we could make a fundamental difference in neighborhoods’ affordability. That
means families staying and thriving in the neighborhoods they love, instead of being
priced out.
Will this be difficult? Of course. But let me remind you of a difficult challenge we
overcame just LAST year.
Of all the efforts we made in 2014 to address income inequality, the most prominent
was our successful bid to secure universal, full-day Pre-K – something bold and
meaningful…and something that so many pundits said we couldn't achieve.
The naysayers said we would never find the funding… or the space… to give all our kids a
chance.
Well, thanks to the tremendous energy of parents, activists, community leaders, elected
officials and good everyday people throughout the city, we proved the cynics WRONG.
And when it comes to affordable housing, we will prove them wrong again.
In fact, we’re ALREADY doing so…ALREADY making real progress towards a more
affordable New York.
Here’s how:
First, our Rent Guidelines Board passed the smallest rent increase EVER last year –
helping protect tenants from being squeezed by their landlords.
Second, we are following through on a plan to build and preserve affordable housing on
an unprecedented scale. We’ve committed to the construction of 80,000 new units of
affordable housing by 2024.
Let me put that in perspective: it means building new affordable units at TWICE the
average annual rate of the past 25 years.

When you add that to the 120,000 units that our plan preserves, it means affordable
housing for a half MILLION New Yorkers…more than the entire population of the city of
Miami. Take THAT, Miami!
This is what our housing plan does. It’s real. Those here…can pick up a copy. And
anyone can read it online at NYC.gov.
And we’re ALREADY putting this plan into action. Our goal for 2014 was to create and
preserve 16,000 units. We beat that goal -- achieving 17,300 affordable units last year
alone.
Third, because it’s been projected that New York City will be home to nine MILLION
people by 2040, we’re pursuing EVERY kind of housing.
Increasing the overall supply of housing is critical to serving New Yorkers at all income
levels -- and to assuring we can accommodate the workforce who will continue to grow
our economy.
So we plan for the construction of 160,000 market rate units as well.
All told, our plan will create hundreds of thousands of construction jobs – and over
20,000 permanent jobs.
Fourth, we’re cutting red tape to speed up our progress.
To expedite the right kind of development, we must expedite the development process.
What we need, and what we will have, is fundamental reform at the Department of
Buildings. This agency must better serve its customers – including thousands of small
businesses that drive our economy. We’ll speed up inspections and cut bureaucracy, so
that more jobs can be created and more housing can be built.
Fifth -- for the first time in New York City history, we are creating a Mandatory
Inclusionary Zoning requirement that will apply to ALL major residential re-zonings.
This is a big one. Listen to this.
In EVERY major rezoning development, we will REQUIRE developers to include

affordable housing. Not as an option. As a precondition.
Want to see this approach in action? Look at Astoria Cove in Queens. As a result of this
Administration’s framework -- and the City Council’s tough negotiations -- 465 units of
affordable housing will be created at this site alone.

That’s 465 families who no longer have to choose between living in the city they call
home, or finding another city they CAN afford. It means that hundreds of kids will live
and learn and grow in OUR city.
Astoria Cove is a site in which previous City re-zoning policy wouldn’t have required ANY
units of affordable housing. ZERO. That was, in fact, the original plan.
So if you want to see the difference that our approach is already making – it’s the
difference between 465...and zero…on one site alone.
And there are many MORE re-zonings like this coming soon to neighborhoods across the
five boroughs – from East New York to Long Island City; from Flushing West to East
Harlem; from downtown Staten Island to the Jerome Avenue Corridor in the Bronx.
Each of these efforts will make our neighborhoods stronger and more affordable.
And here’s one that will be a game-changer when it comes to keeping our city
affordable for thousands of New York families: Sunnyside Yards.
Right now, there are 200 acres of land in the heart of Queens, land that exists in the
form of a rail yard – and ONLY a rail yard. But the fact is, those tracks could easily exist
At Sunnyside Yards, we’ll work with the community and local elected officials to create a
plan that incorporates what diverse and dynamic neighborhoods need -- access to
transportation, parks, schools, retail stores, and job opportunities.
Our approach is not entirely novel. Developments that prioritize affordability and
livability HAVE been built before -- from Starrett City to Co-Op City to Stuy Town.
And these developments created affordability on a grand scale.
Stuy Town, when it opened in 1947 provided our city with 11,250 affordable
apartments… a community where trees and parks, and shops dotted a landscape from
which residents could actually see the sky.
We’re bringing that same kind of scale -- and a real sense of urgency -- to Sunnyside
Yards…and setting the same exact goal of 11,250 affordable units, as part of a
neighborhood that anyone would be proud to call home.
And in contrast to the recent history of Stuy Town, we’re going to make sure that
affordable housing at Sunnyside Yards STAYS that way.

To paraphrase one of my former employers, it takes a village to build a neighborhood.
So we look forward to partnering with Amtrak and the MTA in this extraordinary effort
at Sunnyside Yards.
Another transformative opportunity lies in the Lower Concourse neighborhood on the

waterfront in the South Bronx, a section of our city that was for so long synonymous
with urban decay.
But the South Bronx is coming back strong, and waterfront development will be a big
step forward.
When we look at this project, we don’t think about what USED to define the Bronx; we
think about all that WILL define the Bronx in the future.
With a $200 million capital investment, we can stimulate the development of 4,000 new
units of housing – much of it affordable -- and provide the parks, schools, and
commercial development that support a growing, thriving population.
We look forward to partnering with Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and our colleagues in
government to make an investment that will bring hope and opportunity to a place with
enormous potential.
And speaking of potential, let’s talk about the Rockaways.
Battered by years of economic distress even before Sandy’s gale force winds struck,
there’s no place in our city that has persevered through more.
Our plan will jumpstart the process of acquiring underutilized properties in the
Rockaways – areas blighted or vacant for decades – as we look to create new, affordable
housing for thousands there.
We must also remember that transportation is central to the mission of providing

affordable housing and services -- connecting neighborhoods in the five boroughs to
New York’s largest job centers.
For years, the conventional wisdom has been that certain neighborhoods are doomed to
isolation because of their geography.
Today, if you live in one of those neighborhoods – the Rockaways or Red Hook or
Soundview, among others -- a job in Manhattan can easily mean an hour or more of
commuting, even when the skyline is visible from your home. You can actually SEE
opportunity, but practically speaking, it’s very far away.
We are going to change that.
10

Today, we announce that we’re launching a new citywide ferry service to be open for
business in 2017. New ferry rides will be priced the same as a MetroCard fare, so
ferries will be as affordable to everyday New Yorkers as our subways and buses. …. so
residents of the Rockaways and Red Hook and Soundview will now be closer to the
opportunities they need.
And beyond connecting residents to jobs in Manhattan, our new citywide ferry system
will spur the development of new commercial corridors throughout the outer boroughs.
We will also expand Bus Rapid Transit – or B-R-T – serving 400,000 New Yorkers along
key thoroughfares like Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, and Woodhaven Boulevard in
Queens… completing a network of 20 routes over the next four years. B-R-T will cut
transit time on existing routes by 15-25%. That means New Yorkers spending less time
in transit and more time living their lives.
That’s the KIND of housing that we’ll build.
Let’s talk about some of the PEOPLE we’re fighting to help.
First, our veterans. We commit to ENDING chronic veterans homelessness by the end of
this year. Those who fight to protect our freedom abroad should NEVER be left without
a home.
Second, our seniors. We’re providing 10,000 units of affordable housing for – New
Yorkers who have worked hard all of their lives, and deserve to retire in dignity. Women
and men who live on fixed incomes have little recourse when housing costs go up. They
need our help, and they will get it.
Third, artists. We know that New York is the city it is today in part because of the
contributions from generations of artistic visionaries who at one point struggled to
make ends meet.
So we’ll provide 1500 units of affordable live/work housing for the artists and musicians
who make New York culture so vibrant…. as well as 500 dedicated affordable
workspaces for the cultural community.
These folks bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; and inspire young people to pursue their
natural talents in professions that often don’t promise a big paycheck. They also help
make our city a mecca for tourists, and are one of the reasons why a record number of
people -- 56.4 MILLION -- visited New York last year.
But whether or not you’re a veteran, a senior, or an artist, you’ve likely felt the pinch of
skyrocketing housing costs in our city.
11

That’s due in part to a phenomenon that everybody sees, everybody feels – but nobody
wants to really talk about: gentrification.
Ask 8.4 million New Yorkers what they think about gentrification, and you’ll get 8.4
million opinions.
Clearly, there’s good and there’s bad.
First, the good.
After two decades of steadily declining crime, people are excited to come to New
York…about investing in our city.
With that influx of people and resources comes jobs and amenities...more activity…safer
streets.
The PROBLEM comes when we reach the tipping point…when New Yorkers get PRICED
OUT of their own neighborhoods.
In the past, we’ve been told: sorry – there’s nothing you can do about that. You can
either have a safe and clean neighborhood – OR you can have one you can afford. Not
both.
Well, as my grandmother might say, that’s “una cavolata!"
We CAN act, and we MUST.
You see, New York City’s last twenty years has had its share of bad actors.
First, there are the slumlords – the folks who refuse to make repairs…letting housing
decay…making apartments uninhabitable.
Then, there are predatory landlords – the people who take advantage of a red-hot real
estate market – employing ugly tactics to push out moderate-income tenants to make
room for wealthier ones.
These predatory landlords harass tenants by, say, intermittently turning off the heat or
hot water, or by refusing to address simple matters of safety or sanitation.
That doesn’t just violate the law; it violates our values as New Yorkers.
And we have tools to address these things.
12

When I was Public Advocate, we published the Worst Landlords Watchlist – targeting
those who refused to make simple repairs to the units they controlled.
It helped spur change, with hundreds of buildings coming off the list after making
needed improvements…and thousands of tenants getting the repairs they needed. I
applaud Public Advocate Tish James for energetically continuing this effort.
And there’s MORE we can do.
Albany has responsibility for enforcing our rent laws, but too often that doesn't happen.
We need Albany to step up and enforce the laws aggressively. NOW.
Every day in this city, people are losing their homes unfairly. Albany cannot wait -- we
need help right now.
And we need stronger rent regulations that reflect today's New York.
To preserve our city as a place for everyone, we need to do more than ever to protect
the one million rent-regulated apartments in New York. For so many, it's the only way
they make ends meet…and the only path to the middle class.
If Albany truly believes in opportunity for all, they will strengthen our rent laws in 2015.
If they cannot do that, then we call on the State to provide the funding to help
tenants…help THEMSELVES – by providing free legal services to victims of landlord
neglect or harassment.
And even while we’re calling on Albany to step up, the City will do ITS part.
So today, I’m announcing that in ANY of the areas in which the city rezones, if we find
evidence that tenants are being harassed, we will supply those tenants with legal
representation, at no cost, to take their case to Housing Court…to seek justice before a
judge.
Protecting our tenants – through whatever means necessary – isn’t just the moral thing
to do. It’s a critical step in making New York City a more affordable place for EVERYONE.
And we should thank the City Council for their historic support of legal services for
tenants.
All of the steps on housing that I’ve spoken about today – from responsibly building UP;
to placing new demands on developers; to providing affordable housing to New Yorkers
who need it most; to targeting predatory landlords – it’s all part of our new rules for
helping people find a home they can afford.
13

Today we’ve focused on the NUMBER ONE expense in the lives of most New Yorkers.
Reducing the expense of housing is absolutely critical to addressing the Tale of Two
Cities. But we’ll also fight on the other end of the equation.
Because nothing does more to address income equality than actually raising people’s
incomes.
There’s one critical step that could do so much good. RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE.
Now Albany’s shown some promising signs on this subject – but for it to be more than
just talk -- and to have a real impact on the lives of those living in New York City – we
need more.
The current minimum wage proposal simply doesn’t do enough to help New York City.
That’s why WE will fight to raise New York City’s minimum wage to more than $13 per
hour in 2016… while indexing the minimum wage, which would bring us to a projected
$15 per hour by 2019.
Why is indexing so important? Because it means that hardworking New Yorkers won’t
have to wait on new action from Albany just to keep pace with inflation.
It’s difficult to overstate the positive impact this would have on working New Yorkers.
Even for those that earn more than minimum right now, this action would create an
upward pull on wages... an upward pull on opportunity…. and an upward pull on our
economy.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted leftwing “socialist” that he was – wanted the workers on
his assembly line to be able to afford to PURCHASE the cars they worked to BUILD. So
he gave them a living wage.
I assure you, he didn’t do it to be charitable; he did it because he knew it was good for
business. I’d say it worked out pretty well for old Henry.
Creating more affordable housing; raising wages and benefits; strengthening our
neighborhoods by better connecting them to jobs and opportunity – THAT is how we’ll
take on the Tale of Two Cities.
It won’t be easy. And we know there will be critics who say it just can’t be done… that
our destiny is to be a city for The Privileged Few…not a city for all.
But New York is no stranger to facing big challenges -- and the many doubting Thomases
-- and knows how to overcome them. In fact, we revel in proving them wrong.
14

Thirty years ago, in his 1985 State of the City Address, Mayor Ed Koch announced what
was an UNPRECENDENTED plan for affordable housing.
He understood the transformative power of city government to revitalize whole

communities. His administration stated the clearly: QUOTE “we’re creating more than
just apartments – we’re re-creating neighborhoods.” END QUOTE
There were those who said it couldn’t be done. Historian Jonathan Soffer wrote of
Koch’s plan: QUOTE "It was an extremely risky move. Some experts said at first that
Koch's goal was 'inspirational rather than realistic.’” END QUOTE
Well, let me just say, I can relate. I’ve heard very similar criticisms.
But we know now that Koch’s plan WAS realistic… in fact, it worked. And it had a
transcendent impact on our city.
A city that was struggling and shrinking when Koch took office…turned around.
And so today, WE face the challenge of a city in which more and more people want to
live. It’s a nice problem to have in one way, but it’s a major challenge nonetheless.
We will not lose sight of WHY our city is a beacon for so many. It’s not the cleanest
place, nor the most tranquil. We don’t have the best weather or many alluring natural
landmarks. But we have something special, something unique: an idea at our core – a
PROMISE – that ours is a city…for EVERYONE.
We are charged in our time with the sacred duty of keeping that promise… and we will
not sit idle in the face of crisis.
John F. Kennedy put it well. He said: "There are risks and costs to a program of action.
But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable INACTION."
Like the people this great city, our Administration is about action.
And we’ll continue to lead a City government that reflects all that is great about the
New Yorkers we are so honored to serve.
Your energy invigorates us.
Your compassion inspires us.
Your resolve compels us to move forward.
And, so – my fellow New Yorkers -- let’s get to work. NOW.
15

Thank you very much. God bless you all.

2/3/15 – 915 AM
Thank you to my fellow elected officials in attendance: City Council Speaker Melissa
Mark-Viverito, Public Advocate Letitia James, City Comptroller Scott Stringer. Thank you
to the Borough Presidents, District Attorneys, Members of Congress, the City Council,
and the State Legislature who have joined us. And thank you to Mayor David Dinkins for
being here.
Thank you to my fellow New Yorkers!
More than a hundred years ago, a young woman named Anna Briganti arrived in our city
after emigrating from Grassano, a small town in southern Italy rich in natural beauty,
but scarce in opportunities for its people.
Anna traded picturesque hillsides, and small town familiarity… for an apartment at 205
East 17th Street in Manhattan, just a short walk from here…a place lacking the tranquil
comforts of her childhood…a neighborhood where few spoke her native language.
But Anna’s NEW home offered her something that her OLD one did not: profound
So, in the year 1910 -- a decade before our country granted women the right to vote –
Anna opened an embroidery company: The Misses Briganti… its very name a proud
symbol of single women – the “Miss-ES” referring to her sister, and her mother, and
herself – three women who started the business, together.

My grandmother’s story – like most New York success stories – was not a fairy tale. She
did not stumble upon success through luck or charm; she forged it with hard work and
raw grit.
A place offering opportunity for EVERYONE, no matter how your life’s story began;
opportunity for innovators and visionaries to write new chapters in our history; and for
parents and grandparents to write brighter ones for the next generation.
And, since only half of New Yorkers speak only English at home, let me say that a
different way:
Por generaciones [he-ne-rah-see-oh-nes], Nueva York ha sido una ciudad que le da

rienda [ree-en-dah] suelta [soo-el-tah] al potenciál humáno.
Está en riesgo [ree-es-goh] porque a muchas personas que viven aquí les cuésta [qwes-
tah] demasiádo PÓDER quedárse [kay-dar-say] aquí. Nosotros querémos cambiár eso.
You can see it all over New York -- in the eyes of the single mother in Coney Island,
working two jobs and barely scraping together enough for a modest apartment to share
with her kids.
You can see it in the worn hands of the fast food worker in Washington Heights,
consumed with worry as the calendar approaches the first of the month…the day the
rent is due.
You can see it in the furrowed brow of the senior in Rosebank on Staten Island, as she
sweeps her porch to chase away thoughts of whether she’s saved enough to stay in her
small house in the only neighborhood she’s ever called home.
If we do not act -- and act BOLDLY -- New York risks taking on the qualities of a gated
community… A place defined by exclusivity, rather than opportunity. And we cannot let
that happen.

Over the past two years, I’ve spoken about the need to take dead aim at the Tale of Two
Cities, and about our vision for creating One New York, rising together...a city where
EVERYONE has a shot at the middle class.
And while we have so much more work to do, 2014 was a year of great progress in our
effort to address inequality and lift up our families.
Some examples:
We nearly doubled enrollment in after-school programs for middle school kids

With the help of the City Council – and the strong leadership of my partner in
government, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito – we secured paid sick leave for
500,000 more New Yorkers.
We ended the overuse of stop-and-frisk, reducing stops by over 75%. And since
we instituted our new marijuana policy, arrests are down almost 65%.
At the same time, thanks to our courageous men and women in uniform, we’ve not only
kept New York City safe – we’ve made it even safer.
Our NYPD officers helped bring the city’s crime rate to an ALL-TIME low – with
the smallest number of murders, robberies, and burglaries on record.
The FDNY responded to a record 1.6 MILLION emergency calls…always at the

ready when New Yorkers needed help.
The Correction Department made sweeping reforms, including an end to

punitive segregation for adolescents in city jails.
Also in 2014, we fought to keep our streets safe and clean for pedestrians, cyclists, and
drivers alike.

seen since 1910.
We handled one of the snowiest winters our city has ever seen, with 11 winter
storms in 2014.

And after our sanitation workers did an extraordinary job clearing our
streets…our Department of Transportation workers filled nearly a half-MILLION
potholes.
In 2014, we took on climate change and the damage inflicted by the extreme weather
linked to it.
We built on the strong environmental record of the Bloomberg Administration

by committing to “80 by 50” – a dramatic, game-changing 80 percent reduction
in greenhouse gases in our city by the year 2050. And we will be retrofitting not
just some, but EVERY public building with significant energy usage by 2025.
We helped repair the devastation wrought by Superstorm Sandy – beating even

our ambitious goals – with construction starting on more than 1,000 homes; and
badly needed reimbursements provided to more than 2,000 homeowners.
And today, I want to make perfectly clear that EVERY reimbursement check will
be in the hands of those who need them by the end of THIS year. From Staten
Island to Canarsie to the Rockaways, families hit by the storm have been through
so much. This Administration will FINISH the job of helping them rebuild.
In 2014, we balanced our budget in a way that was honest, responsible, and in keeping
with our progressive values.
We came to contract agreements with over 71% of the city’s workforce, up from
ZERO the year before – signing deals that are fair to both our city workers AND
to our taxpayers.
We awarded $690 million in contracts to minority and women-owned

businesses, a 57% increase from the year before.
We created the Tech Talent Pipeline to link New Yorkers from every borough and
background to a booming tech industry that now employs nearly 300,000
people, and is growing every day in our city.
We invested capital in new economic hubs to create 3,000 new jobs in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard and 1,000 new jobs at the Brooklyn Army Terminal that will
be there for years to come.
We announced our plan to redesign our workforce development system to arm

up to 30,000 New Yorkers a year with the skills for 21st century jobs.

We ended the fear of communities being left without critical care services when
their hospitals closed without warning – and began the process of opening half a
dozen new community health clinics.
We ended a ticket blitz on our small businesses, and are on track to save them
$5 million in petty fines -- money they can put towards growing and hiring.
With the help of the City Council, we created IDNYC– for both citizens AND
undocumented New Yorkers. Let’s be clear: Relegating ANY New Yorker to life in
the shadows is not who we are as a city. And I’m happy to report that -- less
than a month after this program’s inception -- more than 180,000 New Yorkers
have ALREADY made an appointment to get their ID.
And we began a major new effort – now led by our inspiring First Lady -- to
address the gaps in mental health coverage in New York City. This issue is
personal to Chirlane and me, and to so many families who’ve watched loved
ones fall through the cracks of an inadequate system. I can’t think of a smarter,
stronger, more compassionate person to lead our effort to change that than our
First Lady. Let’s thank her!
We’ve begun to create 128 community schools – schools that serve the whole
child…offering everything from vision tests and mental health screenings…to
family counseling and tutoring.
We created 62 PROSE schools – a fresh, new model where teachers and

principals work together to set aside D-O-E and union rules that hinder
innovation…so we can better serve our kids.
And we invested in Renewal Schools…to FIX 94 struggling schools…because

EVERY child in every neighborhood deserves a quality education.
All of these things will make our neighborhoods stronger – and make life in our city
better for so many.
But you can’t tap into the opportunities that New York has to offer if you can’t afford to
actually LIVE here.
So I will say this:
While the state of our city is strong, we face a profound challenge. If we fail to be a city
for EVERYONE, we risk losing what makes New York…NEW YORK.

And nothing more clearly expresses the inequality gap…the OPPORTUNITY gap…than
the soaring cost of housing.
In 2014, 56 percent of rental households in New York were spending more than 30
percent of their income on housing – up 10 points in a little more than a decade.
Now spending more than 30 percent of your income on housing means you’re officially
“rent-burdened.” That’s an apt description, since the cost of living is becoming a
heavier and heavier burden -- not just on wallets, but on hopes and aspirations, as well.
Part of the problem is that the city has for decades let developers write their own rules
when it came to building housing. SOMETIMES projects included affordable
housing…but far too often, they did NOT.
That meant a bias towards luxury housing – units that fetched top dollar, but were
entirely out of reach for most New Yorkers…multi-million dollar homes that drove up
rents in the neighborhoods they occupied – all without a corresponding menu of
AFFORDABLE new options.
This Administration is taking a fundamentally different approach – one that not only
RECOGNIZES the need for more affordable housing…but DEMANDS it.
First, we’re writing new rules… ones that MANDATE affordable housing as a condition of
development in areas re-zoned for residential use.
Second, we’ll do everything in our power to KEEP those who already have affordable
housing IN THEIR HOMES.
And third -- since we only have so much land -- we’ll create more affordable housing by
literally building UP… adding density to appropriate parts of our city.

We are NOT embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers where they don’t
belong. We have a duty to protect and preserve the culture and character of our
neighborhoods, and we WILL DO SO.
And as we invest in more affordable housing, we will also work with communities to
preserve the fabric of neighborhoods and invest in things that great neighborhoods
need -- from parks and schools…to shops and restaurants.
Now, there are some places in our city that have not yet been developed or zoned for
housing, but could be. And by taking steps like adding residential buildings to former
manufacturing sites -- or adding some six to eight story buildings in appropriate places
— we could make a fundamental difference in neighborhoods’ affordability. That
means families staying and thriving in the neighborhoods they love, instead of being
priced out.
Will this be difficult? Of course. But let me remind you of a difficult challenge we
overcame just LAST year.
Of all the efforts we made in 2014 to address income inequality, the most prominent
was our successful bid to secure universal, full-day Pre-K – something bold and
meaningful…and something that so many pundits said we couldn't achieve.
The naysayers said we would never find the funding… or the space… to give all our kids a
chance.
Well, thanks to the tremendous energy of parents, activists, community leaders, elected
officials and good everyday people throughout the city, we proved the cynics WRONG.
In fact, we’re ALREADY doing so…ALREADY making real progress towards a more
affordable New York.
Here’s how:
First, our Rent Guidelines Board passed the smallest rent increase EVER last year –
helping protect tenants from being squeezed by their landlords.
Second, we are following through on a plan to build and preserve affordable housing on
an unprecedented scale. We’ve committed to the construction of 80,000 new units of
affordable housing by 2024.
Let me put that in perspective: it means building new affordable units at TWICE the
average annual rate of the past 25 years.

When you add that to the 120,000 units that our plan preserves, it means affordable
housing for a half MILLION New Yorkers…more than the entire population of the city of
Miami. Take THAT, Miami!
This is what our housing plan does. It’s real. Those here…can pick up a copy. And
anyone can read it online at NYC.gov.
And we’re ALREADY putting this plan into action. Our goal for 2014 was to create and
preserve 16,000 units. We beat that goal -- achieving 17,300 affordable units last year
alone.
Third, because it’s been projected that New York City will be home to nine MILLION
people by 2040, we’re pursuing EVERY kind of housing.
Increasing the overall supply of housing is critical to serving New Yorkers at all income
levels -- and to assuring we can accommodate the workforce who will continue to grow
our economy.
All told, our plan will create hundreds of thousands of construction jobs – and over
20,000 permanent jobs.
What we need, and what we will have, is fundamental reform at the Department of
Buildings. This agency must better serve its customers – including thousands of small
businesses that drive our economy. We’ll speed up inspections and cut bureaucracy, so
that more jobs can be created and more housing can be built.
Fifth -- for the first time in New York City history, we are creating a Mandatory
Inclusionary Zoning requirement that will apply to ALL major residential re-zonings.
In EVERY major rezoning development, we will REQUIRE developers to include

affordable housing. Not as an option. As a precondition.
Want to see this approach in action? Look at Astoria Cove in Queens. As a result of this
Administration’s framework -- and the City Council’s tough negotiations -- 465 units of
affordable housing will be created at this site alone.

That’s 465 families who no longer have to choose between living in the city they call
home, or finding another city they CAN afford. It means that hundreds of kids will live
and learn and grow in OUR city.
Astoria Cove is a site in which previous City re-zoning policy wouldn’t have required ANY
units of affordable housing. ZERO. That was, in fact, the original plan.
So if you want to see the difference that our approach is already making – it’s the
difference between 465...and zero…on one site alone.
And there are many MORE re-zonings like this coming soon to neighborhoods across the
five boroughs – from East New York to Long Island City; from Flushing West to East
Harlem; from downtown Staten Island to the Jerome Avenue Corridor in the Bronx.
And here’s one that will be a game-changer when it comes to keeping our city
affordable for thousands of New York families: Sunnyside Yards.
Right now, there are 200 acres of land in the heart of Queens, land that exists in the
form of a rail yard – and ONLY a rail yard. But the fact is, those tracks could easily exist
At Sunnyside Yards, we’ll work with the community and local elected officials to create a
plan that incorporates what diverse and dynamic neighborhoods need -- access to
transportation, parks, schools, retail stores, and job opportunities.
Our approach is not entirely novel. Developments that prioritize affordability and
livability HAVE been built before -- from Starrett City to Co-Op City to Stuy Town.
Stuy Town, when it opened in 1947 provided our city with 11,250 affordable
apartments… a community where trees and parks, and shops dotted a landscape from
which residents could actually see the sky.
We’re bringing that same kind of scale -- and a real sense of urgency -- to Sunnyside
Yards…and setting the same exact goal of 11,250 affordable units, as part of a
neighborhood that anyone would be proud to call home.
And in contrast to the recent history of Stuy Town, we’re going to make sure that
affordable housing at Sunnyside Yards STAYS that way.

To paraphrase one of my former employers, it takes a village to build a neighborhood.
So we look forward to partnering with Amtrak and the MTA in this extraordinary effort
at Sunnyside Yards.
Another transformative opportunity lies in the Lower Concourse neighborhood on the

waterfront in the South Bronx, a section of our city that was for so long synonymous
with urban decay.
But the South Bronx is coming back strong, and waterfront development will be a big
step forward.
When we look at this project, we don’t think about what USED to define the Bronx; we
think about all that WILL define the Bronx in the future.
With a $200 million capital investment, we can stimulate the development of 4,000 new
units of housing – much of it affordable -- and provide the parks, schools, and
commercial development that support a growing, thriving population.
We look forward to partnering with Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and our colleagues in
government to make an investment that will bring hope and opportunity to a place with
enormous potential.
Battered by years of economic distress even before Sandy’s gale force winds struck,
there’s no place in our city that has persevered through more.
Our plan will jumpstart the process of acquiring underutilized properties in the
Rockaways – areas blighted or vacant for decades – as we look to create new, affordable
housing for thousands there.
We must also remember that transportation is central to the mission of providing

affordable housing and services -- connecting neighborhoods in the five boroughs to
New York’s largest job centers.
For years, the conventional wisdom has been that certain neighborhoods are doomed to
isolation because of their geography.
Today, if you live in one of those neighborhoods – the Rockaways or Red Hook or
Soundview, among others -- a job in Manhattan can easily mean an hour or more of
commuting, even when the skyline is visible from your home. You can actually SEE
opportunity, but practically speaking, it’s very far away.
10

Today, we announce that we’re launching a new citywide ferry service to be open for
business in 2017. New ferry rides will be priced the same as a MetroCard fare, so
ferries will be as affordable to everyday New Yorkers as our subways and buses. …. so
residents of the Rockaways and Red Hook and Soundview will now be closer to the
opportunities they need.
And beyond connecting residents to jobs in Manhattan, our new citywide ferry system
will spur the development of new commercial corridors throughout the outer boroughs.
We will also expand Bus Rapid Transit – or B-R-T – serving 400,000 New Yorkers along
key thoroughfares like Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, and Woodhaven Boulevard in
Queens… completing a network of 20 routes over the next four years. B-R-T will cut
transit time on existing routes by 15-25%. That means New Yorkers spending less time
in transit and more time living their lives.
First, our veterans. We commit to ENDING chronic veterans homelessness by the end of
this year. Those who fight to protect our freedom abroad should NEVER be left without
a home.
Second, our seniors. We’re providing 10,000 units of affordable housing for – New
Yorkers who have worked hard all of their lives, and deserve to retire in dignity. Women
and men who live on fixed incomes have little recourse when housing costs go up. They
need our help, and they will get it.
Third, artists. We know that New York is the city it is today in part because of the
contributions from generations of artistic visionaries who at one point struggled to
make ends meet.
So we’ll provide 1500 units of affordable live/work housing for the artists and musicians
who make New York culture so vibrant…. as well as 500 dedicated affordable
workspaces for the cultural community.
These folks bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; and inspire young people to pursue their
natural talents in professions that often don’t promise a big paycheck. They also help
make our city a mecca for tourists, and are one of the reasons why a record number of
people -- 56.4 MILLION -- visited New York last year.
But whether or not you’re a veteran, a senior, or an artist, you’ve likely felt the pinch of
skyrocketing housing costs in our city.
11

That’s due in part to a phenomenon that everybody sees, everybody feels – but nobody
wants to really talk about: gentrification.
Ask 8.4 million New Yorkers what they think about gentrification, and you’ll get 8.4
million opinions.
First, the good.
After two decades of steadily declining crime, people are excited to come to New
York…about investing in our city.
With that influx of people and resources comes jobs and amenities...more activity…safer
streets.
The PROBLEM comes when we reach the tipping point…when New Yorkers get PRICED
OUT of their own neighborhoods.
In the past, we’ve been told: sorry – there’s nothing you can do about that. You can
either have a safe and clean neighborhood – OR you can have one you can afford. Not
both.
Well, as my grandmother might say, that’s “una cavolata!"
First, there are the slumlords – the folks who refuse to make repairs…letting housing
decay…making apartments uninhabitable.
Then, there are predatory landlords – the people who take advantage of a red-hot real
estate market – employing ugly tactics to push out moderate-income tenants to make
room for wealthier ones.
These predatory landlords harass tenants by, say, intermittently turning off the heat or
hot water, or by refusing to address simple matters of safety or sanitation.
12

When I was Public Advocate, we published the Worst Landlords Watchlist – targeting
those who refused to make simple repairs to the units they controlled.
It helped spur change, with hundreds of buildings coming off the list after making
needed improvements…and thousands of tenants getting the repairs they needed. I
applaud Public Advocate Tish James for energetically continuing this effort.
Albany has responsibility for enforcing our rent laws, but too often that doesn't happen.
We need Albany to step up and enforce the laws aggressively. NOW.
Every day in this city, people are losing their homes unfairly. Albany cannot wait -- we
need help right now.
To preserve our city as a place for everyone, we need to do more than ever to protect
the one million rent-regulated apartments in New York. For so many, it's the only way
they make ends meet…and the only path to the middle class.
If they cannot do that, then we call on the State to provide the funding to help
tenants…help THEMSELVES – by providing free legal services to victims of landlord
neglect or harassment.
So today, I’m announcing that in ANY of the areas in which the city rezones, if we find
evidence that tenants are being harassed, we will supply those tenants with legal
representation, at no cost, to take their case to Housing Court…to seek justice before a
judge.
Protecting our tenants – through whatever means necessary – isn’t just the moral thing
to do. It’s a critical step in making New York City a more affordable place for EVERYONE.
And we should thank the City Council for their historic support of legal services for
tenants.
All of the steps on housing that I’ve spoken about today – from responsibly building UP;
to placing new demands on developers; to providing affordable housing to New Yorkers
who need it most; to targeting predatory landlords – it’s all part of our new rules for
13

Today we’ve focused on the NUMBER ONE expense in the lives of most New Yorkers.
Reducing the expense of housing is absolutely critical to addressing the Tale of Two
Cities. But we’ll also fight on the other end of the equation.
Because nothing does more to address income equality than actually raising people’s
incomes.
Now Albany’s shown some promising signs on this subject – but for it to be more than
just talk -- and to have a real impact on the lives of those living in New York City – we
need more.
The current minimum wage proposal simply doesn’t do enough to help New York City.
That’s why WE will fight to raise New York City’s minimum wage to more than $13 per
hour in 2016… while indexing the minimum wage, which would bring us to a projected
Why is indexing so important? Because it means that hardworking New Yorkers won’t
have to wait on new action from Albany just to keep pace with inflation.
It’s difficult to overstate the positive impact this would have on working New Yorkers.
Even for those that earn more than minimum right now, this action would create an
upward pull on wages... an upward pull on opportunity…. and an upward pull on our
economy.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted leftwing “socialist” that he was – wanted the workers on
his assembly line to be able to afford to PURCHASE the cars they worked to BUILD. So
he gave them a living wage.
I assure you, he didn’t do it to be charitable; he did it because he knew it was good for
business. I’d say it worked out pretty well for old Henry.
Creating more affordable housing; raising wages and benefits; strengthening our
neighborhoods by better connecting them to jobs and opportunity – THAT is how we’ll
take on the Tale of Two Cities.
It won’t be easy. And we know there will be critics who say it just can’t be done… that
our destiny is to be a city for The Privileged Few…not a city for all.
But New York is no stranger to facing big challenges -- and the many doubting Thomases
-- and knows how to overcome them. In fact, we revel in proving them wrong.
14

Thirty years ago, in his 1985 State of the City Address, Mayor Ed Koch announced what
was an UNPRECENDENTED plan for affordable housing.
He understood the transformative power of city government to revitalize whole

communities. His administration stated the clearly: QUOTE “we’re creating more than
just apartments – we’re re-creating neighborhoods.” END QUOTE
There were those who said it couldn’t be done. Historian Jonathan Soffer wrote of
Koch’s plan: QUOTE "It was an extremely risky move. Some experts said at first that
Koch's goal was 'inspirational rather than realistic.’” END QUOTE
But we know now that Koch’s plan WAS realistic… in fact, it worked. And it had a
transcendent impact on our city.
And so today, WE face the challenge of a city in which more and more people want to
live. It’s a nice problem to have in one way, but it’s a major challenge nonetheless.
We will not lose sight of WHY our city is a beacon for so many. It’s not the cleanest
place, nor the most tranquil. We don’t have the best weather or many alluring natural
landmarks. But we have something special, something unique: an idea at our core – a
We are charged in our time with the sacred duty of keeping that promise… and we will
not sit idle in the face of crisis.
John F. Kennedy put it well. He said: "There are risks and costs to a program of action.
But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable INACTION."
And we’ll continue to lead a City government that reflects all that is great about the
New Yorkers we are so honored to serve.

2/3/15 – 835 AM
It’s a pleasure to be here with our city officials: First Deputy Mayor Shorris, Deputy Mayors Glen, Barrios-
Paoli, and Buery, and commissioners, community members and leaders, and our elected officials,
including Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.
More than a hundred years ago, a young woman named Anna Briganti arrived in our city after
emigrating from Grassano, a small town in southern Italy rich in natural beauty, but scarce in
opportunities for its people.
Anna traded picturesque hillsides, and small town familiarity… for an apartment at 205 East 17 th Street
in Manhattan, just a short walk from here…a place lacking the tranquil comforts of her childhood…a
neighborhood where few spoke her native language.

But Anna’s NEW home offered her something that her OLD one did not: profound possibilities to create
a better life… for herself…AND for her children.
So, in the year 1910 -- a decade before our country granted women the right to vote – Anna opened an
embroidery company: The Misses Briganti… its very name a proud symbol of single women – the “Miss-
ES” referring to her sister, and her mother, and herself – three women who started the business,
together.
My grandmother’s story – like most New York success stories – was not a fairy tale. She did not stumble
upon success through luck or charm; she forged it with hard work and raw grit.
A place offering opportunity for EVERYONE, no matter how your life’s story began; opportunity for
innovators and visionaries to write new chapters in our history; and for parents and grandparents to
write brighter ones for the next generation.
And, since only half of New Yorkers speak only English at home, let me say that a different way:
Por generaciones [he-ne-rah-see-oh-nes], Nueva York ha sido una ciudad que le da rienda [ree-en-dah]
suelta [soo-el-tah] al potenciál humáno.

Está en riesgo [ree-es-goh] porque a muchas personas que viven aquí les cuésta [qwes-tah] demasiádo
PÓDER quedárse [kay-dar-say] aquí. Nosotros querémos cambiár eso.
You can see it all over New York -- in the eyes of the single mother in Coney Island, working two jobs
and barely scraping together enough for a modest apartment to share with her kids.
You can see it in the worn hands of the fast food worker in Washington Heights, consumed with worry
as the calendar approaches the first of the month…the day the rent is due.
You can see it in the furrowed brow of the senior in Rosebank on Staten Island, as she sweeps her porch
to chase away thoughts of whether she’s saved enough to stay in her small house in the only
neighborhood she’s ever called home.
If we do not act -- and act BOLDLY -- New York risks taking on the qualities of a gated community… A
place defined by exclusivity, rather than opportunity. And we cannot let that happen.
Over the past two years, I’ve spoken about the need to take dead aim at the Tale of Two Cities, and
about our vision for creating One New York, rising together...a city where EVERYONE has a shot at the
middle class.
And while we have so much more work to do, 2014 was a year of great progress in our effort to address
inequality and lift up our families.
Some examples:

We nearly doubled enrollment in after-school programs for middle school kids in all five
boroughs.
With the help of the City Council – and the strong leadership of my partner in government,
Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito – we secured paid sick leave for 500,000 more New Yorkers.
We ended the overuse of stop-and-frisk, reducing stops by over 75%. And since we instituted
our new marijuana policy, arrests are almost down almost 65%.
At the same time, thanks to our courageous men and women in uniform, we’ve not only kept New York
City safe – we’ve made it even safer.
Our NYPD officers helped bring the city’s crime rate to an ALL-TIME low – with the smallest
number of murders, robberies, and burglaries on record.
The FDNY responded to a record 1.6 MILLION emergency calls…always at the ready when New
Yorkers needed help.
The Correction Department made sweeping reforms, including an end to punitive segregation
for adolescents in city jails.
Also in 2014, we fought to keep our streets safe and clean for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
We established Vision Zero -- bringing pedestrian deaths down to a level not seen since 1910.
We handled one of the snowiest winters our city has ever seen, with 11 winter storms in 2014.

And after our sanitation workers did an extraordinary job clearing our streets…our Department
of Transportation workers filled nearly a half-MILLION potholes.
In 2014, we took on climate change and the damage inflicted by the extreme weather linked to it.
We built on the strong environmental record of the Bloomberg Administration by committing to

“80 by 50” – a dramatic, game-changing 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gases in our city by
the year 2050. And we will be retrofitting not just some, but EVERY public building with
significant energy usage by 2025.
We helped repair the devastation wrought by Superstorm Sandy – beating even our ambitious
goals – with construction starting on more than 1,000 homes; and badly needed
reimbursements provided to more than 2,000 homeowners.
And today, I want to make perfectly clear that EVERY reimbursement check will be in the hands
of those who need them by the end of THIS year. From Staten Island to Canarsie to the
Rockaways, families hit by the storm have been through so much. This Administration will
FINISH the job of helping them rebuild.
In 2014, we balanced our budget in a way that was honest, responsible, and in keeping with our
progressive values.
We came to contract agreements with over 71% of the city’s workforce, up from ZERO the year
before – signing deals that are fair to both our city workers AND to our taxpayers.
We awarded $690 million in contracts to minority and women-owned businesses, a 57%

increase from the year before.
We created the Tech Talent Pipeline to link New Yorkers from every borough and background to
a booming tech industry that now employs nearly 300,000 people, and is growing every day in
our city.

We invested capital in new economic hubs to create 3,000 new jobs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard
and 1,000 new jobs at the Brooklyn Army Terminal that will be there for years to come.
We announced our plan to redesign our workforce development system to arm up to 30,000
New Yorkers a year with the skills for 21 st century jobs.
We ended the fear of communities being left without critical care services when their hospitals
closed without warning – and began the process of opening half a dozen new community health
clinics.
We ended a ticket blitz on our small businesses, and are on track to save them $5 million in
petty fines -- money they can put towards growing and hiring.
With the help of the City Council, we created IDNYC– for both citizens AND undocumented New
Yorkers. Let’s be clear: Relegating ANY New Yorker to life in the shadows is not who we are as
a city. And I’m happy to report that -- less than a month after this program’s inception -- more
than 180,000 New Yorkers have ALREADY made an appointment to get their ID.
And we began a major new effort – now led by our inspiring First Lady -- to address the gaps in
mental health coverage in New York City. This issue is personal to Chirlane and me, and to so
many families who’ve watched loved ones fall through the cracks of an inadequate system. I
can’t think of a smarter, stronger, more compassionate person to lead our effort to change that
than our First Lady. Let’s thank her!
We’ve begun to create 128 community schools – schools that serve the whole child…offering
everything from vision tests and mental health screenings…to family counseling and tutoring.
We created 62 PROSE schools – a fresh, new model where teachers and principals work
together to set aside D-O-E and union rules that hinder innovation…so we can better serve our
kids.

And we invested in Renewal Schools…to FIX 94 struggling schools…because EVERY child in every
neighborhood deserves a quality education.
All of these things will make our neighborhoods stronger – and make life in our city better for so many.
But you can’t tap into the opportunities that New York has to offer if you can’t afford to actually LIVE
here.
So I will say this:
While the state of our city is strong, we face a profound challenge. If we fail to be a city for EVERYONE,
we risk losing what makes New York…NEW YORK.
And nothing more clearly expresses the inequality gap…the OPPORTUNITY gap…than the soaring cost of
housing.
In 2014, 56 percent of rental households in New York were spending more than 30 percent of their
income on housing – up 10 points in a little more than a decade.
Now spending more than 30 percent of your income on housing means you’re officially “rent-
burdened.” That’s an apt description, since the cost of living is becoming a heavier and heavier burden -
- not just on wallets, but on hopes and aspirations, as well.
Part of the problem is that the city has for decades let developers write their own rules when it came to
building housing. SOMETIMES projects included affordable housing…but far too often, they did NOT.

That meant a bias towards luxury housing – units that fetched top dollar, but were entirely out of reach
for most New Yorkers…multi-million dollar homes that drove up rents in the neighborhoods they
occupied – all without a corresponding menu of AFFORDABLE new options.
This Administration is taking a fundamentally different approach – one that not only RECOGNIZES the
need for more affordable housing…but DEMANDS it.
First, we’re writing new rules… ones that MANDATE affordable housing as a condition of development in
areas re-zoned for residential use.
Second, we’ll do everything in our power to KEEP those who already have affordable housing IN THEIR
HOMES.
And third -- since we only have so much land -- we’ll create more affordable housing by literally building
UP… adding density to appropriate parts of our city.
We are NOT embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers where they don’t belong. We have a
duty to protect and preserve the culture and character of our neighborhoods, and we WILL DO SO.
And as we invest in more affordable housing, we will also work with communities to preserve the fabric
of neighborhoods and invest in things that great neighborhoods need -- from parks and schools…to
shops and restaurants.
Now, there are some places in our city that have not yet been developed or zoned for housing, but

could be. And by taking steps like adding residential buildings to former manufacturing sites -- or
adding some six to eight story buildings in appropriate places — we could make a fundamental
difference in neighborhoods’ affordability. That means families staying and thriving in the
neighborhoods they love, instead of being priced out.
Will this be difficult? Of course. But let me remind you of a difficult challenge we overcame just LAST
year.
Of all the efforts we made in 2014 to address income inequality, the most prominent was our successful
bid to secure universal, full-day Pre-K – something bold and meaningful…and something that so many
pundits said we couldn't achieve.
The naysayers said we would never find the funding… or the space… to give all our kids a chance.
Well, thanks to the tremendous energy of parents, activists, community leaders, elected officials and
good everyday people throughout the city, we proved the cynics WRONG.
In fact, we’re ALREADY doing so…ALREADY making real progress towards a more affordable New York.
Here’s how:
First, our Rent Guidelines Board passed the smallest rent increase EVER last year – helping protect
tenants from being squeezed by their landlords.
Second, we are following through on a plan to build and preserve affordable housing on an
unprecedented scale. We’ve committed to the construction of 80,000 new units of affordable housing
by 2024.
Let me put that in perspective: it means building new affordable units at TWICE the average annual rate

of the past 25 years.
When you add that to the 120,000 units that our plan preserves, it means affordable housing for a half
MILLION New Yorkers…more than the entire population of the city of Miami. Take THAT, Miami!
This is what our housing plan does. It’s real. Those here…can pick up a copy. And anyone can read it
online at NYC.gov.
And we’re ALREADY putting this plan into action. Our goal for 2014 was to create and preserve 16,000
units. We beat that goal -- achieving 17,300 affordable units last year alone.
Third, because it’s been projected that New York City will be home to nine MILLION people by 2040,
we’re pursuing EVERY kind of housing.
Increasing the overall supply of housing is critical to serving New Yorkers at all income levels -- and to
assuring we can accommodate the workforce who will continue to grow our economy.
All told, our plan will create hundreds of thousands of construction jobs – and over 20,000 permanent
jobs.
What we need, and what we will have, is fundamental reform at the Department of Buildings. This
agency must better serve its customers – including thousands of small businesses that drive our
economy. We’ll speed up inspections and cut bureaucracy, so that more jobs can be created and more
housing can be built.

Fifth -- for the first time in New York City history, we are creating a Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning
requirement that will apply to ALL major residential re-zonings.
In EVERY major rezoning development, we will REQUIRE developers to include affordable housing. Not
as an option. As a precondition.
Want to see this approach in action? Look at Astoria Cove in Queens. As a result of this Administration’s
framework -- and the City Council’s tough negotiations -- 465 units of affordable housing will be
created this site alone.
That’s 465 families who no longer have to choose between living in the city they call home, or finding
another city they CAN afford. It means that hundreds of kids will live and learn and grow in OUR city.
Astoria Cove is a site in which previous City re-zoning policy wouldn’t have required ANY units of
affordable housing. ZERO. That was, in fact, the original plan.
So if you want to see the difference that our approach is already making – it’s the difference between
465...and zero…on one site alone.
And there are many MORE re-zonings like this coming soon to neighborhoods across the five boroughs
– from East New York to Long Island City; from Flushing West to East Harlem; from downtown Staten
Island to the Jerome Avenue Corridor in the Bronx.
And here’s one that will be a game-changer when it comes to keeping our city affordable for thousands
of New York families: Sunnyside Yards.

Right now, there are 200 acres of land in the heart of Queens, land that exists in the form of a rail yard –
and ONLY a rail yard. But the fact is, those tracks could easily exist underground – allowing us to build
housing – much of it affordable -- above them.
At Sunnyside Yards, we’ll work with the community and local elected officials to create a plan that
incorporates what diverse and dynamic neighborhoods need -- access to transportation, parks, schools,
retail stores, and job opportunities.
Our approach is not entirely novel. Developments that prioritize affordability and livability HAVE been
built before -- from Starrett City to Co-Op City to Stuy Town.
Stuy Town, when it opened in 1947 provided our city with 11,250 affordable apartments… a community
where trees and parks, and shops dotted a landscape from which residents could actually see the sky.
We’re bringing that same kind of scale -- and a real sense of urgency -- to Sunnyside Yards…and setting
the same exact goal of 11,250 affordable units, as part of a neighborhood that anyone would be proud
to call home.
And in contrast to the recent history of Stuy Town, we’re going to make sure that affordable housing at
Sunnyside Yards STAYS that way.
To paraphrase one of my former employers, it takes a village to build a neighborhood. So we look

forward to partnering with Amtrak and the MTA in this extraordinary effort at Sunnyside Yards.
Another transformative opportunity lies in the Lower Concourse neighborhood on the waterfront in the
South Bronx, a section of our city that was for so long synonymous with urban decay.
But the South Bronx is coming back strong, and waterfront development will be a big step forward.

When we look at this project, we don’t think about what USED to define the Bronx; we think about all
that WILL define the Bronx in the future.
With a $200 million capital investment, we can stimulate the development of 4,000 new units of housing
– much of it affordable -- and provide the parks, schools, and commercial development that support a
growing, thriving population.
We look forward to partnering with Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and our colleagues in government to
make an investment that will bring hope and opportunity to a place with enormous potential.
Battered by years of economic distress even before Sandy’s gale force winds struck, there’s no place in
our city that has persevered through more.
Our plan will jumpstart the process of acquiring underutilized properties in the Rockaways – areas
blighted or vacant for decades – as we look to create new, affordable housing for thousands there.
We must also remember that transportation is central to the mission of providing affordable housing
and services -- connecting neighborhoods in the five boroughs to New York’s largest job centers.
For years, the conventional wisdom has been that certain neighborhoods are doomed to isolation
because of their geography.
Today, if you live in one of those neighborhoods – the Rockaways or Red Hook or Soundview, among
others -- a job in Manhattan can easily mean an hour or more of commuting, even when the skyline is
visible from your home. You can actually SEE opportunity, but practically speaking, it’s very far away.
Today, we announce that we’re launching a new citywide ferry service to be open for business in 2017.

New ferry rides will be priced the same as a MetroCard fare, so ferries will be as affordable to everyday
New Yorkers as our subways and buses. …. so residents of the Rockaways and Red Hook and Soundview
will now be closer to the opportunities they need.
And beyond connecting residents to jobs in Manhattan, our new citywide ferry system will spur the
development of new commercial corridors throughout the outer boroughs.
We will also expand Bus Rapid Transit – or B-R-T – serving 400,000 New Yorkers along key
thoroughfares like Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, and Woodhaven Boulevard in Queens… completing a
network of 20 routes over the next four years. B-R-T will cut transit time on existing routes by 15-25%.
That means New Yorkers spending less time in transit and more time living their lives.
First, our veterans. We commit to ENDING chronic veterans homelessness by the end of this year.
Those who fight to protect our freedom abroad should NEVER be left without a home.
Second, our seniors. We’re providing 10,000 units of affordable housing for – New Yorkers who have
worked hard all of their lives, and deserve to retire in dignity. Women and men who live on fixed
incomes have little recourse when housing costs go up. They need our help, and they will get it.
Third, artists. We know that New York is the city it is today in part because of the contributions from
generations of artistic visionaries who at one point struggled to make ends meet.
So we’ll provide 1500 units of affordable live/work housing for the artists and musicians who make New
York culture so vibrant…. as well as 500 dedicated affordable workspaces for the cultural community.
These folks bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; and inspire young people to pursue their natural talents
in professions that often don’t promise a big paycheck. They also help make our city a mecca for
tourists, and are one of the reasons why a record number of people -- 56.4 MILLION -- visited New York
last year.

But whether or not you’re a veteran, a senior, or an artist, you’ve likely felt the pinch of skyrocketing
housing costs in our city.
That’s due in part to a phenomenon that everybody sees, everybody feels – but nobody wants to really
talk about: gentrification.
Ask 8.4 million New Yorkers what they think about gentrification, and you’ll get 8.4 million opinions.
First, the good.
After two decades of steadily declining crime, people are excited to come to New York…about investing
in our city.
With that influx of people and resources comes jobs and amenities...more activity…safer streets.
The PROBLEM comes when we reach the tipping point…when New Yorkers get PRICED OUT of their own
neighborhoods.
In the past, we’ve been told: sorry – there’s nothing you can do about that. You can either have a safe
and clean neighborhood – OR you can have one you can afford. Not both.
Well, as my grandmother might say, that’s una cavolata!"

First, there are the slumlords – the folks who refuse to make repairs…letting housing decay…making
apartments uninhabitable.
Then, there are predatory landlords – the people who take advantage of a red-hot real estate market –
employing ugly tactics to push out moderate-income tenants to make room for wealthier ones.
These predatory landlords harass tenants by, say, intermittently turning off the heat or hot water, or by
refusing to address simple matters of safety or sanitation.
When I was Public Advocate, we published the Worst Landlords Watchlist – targeting those who refused
to make simple repairs to the units they controlled.
It helped spur change, with hundreds of buildings coming off the list after making needed
improvements…and thousands of tenants getting the repairs they needed. I applaud Public Advocate
Tish James for energetically continuing this effort.
Albany has responsibility for enforcing our rent laws, but too often that doesn't happen. We need
Albany to step up and enforce the laws aggressively. NOW.
Every day in this city, people are losing their homes unfairly. Albany cannot wait -- we need help right
now.

To preserve our city as a place for everyone, we need to do more than ever to protect the one million
rent-regulated apartments in New York. For so many, it's the only way they make ends meet…and the
only path to the middle class.
If they cannot do that, then we call on the State to provide the funding to help tenants…help
THEMSELVES – by providing free legal services to victims of landlord neglect or harassment.
So today, I’m announcing that in ANY of the areas in which the city rezones, if we find evidence that
tenants are being harassed, we will supply those tenants with legal representation, at no cost, to take
their case to Housing Court…to seek justice before a judge.
Protecting our tenants – through whatever means necessary – isn’t just the moral thing to do. It’s a
critical step in making New York City a more affordable place for EVERYONE. And we should thank the
City Council for their historic support of legal services for tenants.
All of the steps on housing that I’ve spoken about today – from responsibly building UP; to placing new
demands on developers; to providing affordable housing to New Yorkers who need it most; to targeting
predatory landlords – it’s all part of our new rules for helping people find a home they can afford.
Today we’ve focused on the NUMBER ONE expense in the lives of most New Yorkers. Reducing the
expense of housing is absolutely critical to addressing the Tale of Two Cities. But we’ll also fight on the
other end of the equation.
Because nothing does more to address income equality than actually raising people’s incomes.

Now Albany’s shown some promising signs on this subject – but for it to be more than just talk -- and to
have a real impact on the lives of those living in New York City – we need more.
The current minimum wage proposal simply doesn’t do enough to help New York City. That’s why WE
will fight to raise New York City’s minimum wage to more than $13 per hour in 2016… while indexing the
minimum wage, which would bring us to a projected $15 per hour by 2019.
Why is indexing so important? Because it means that hardworking New Yorkers won’t have to wait on
new action from Albany just to keep pace with inflation.
It’s difficult to overstate the positive impact this would have on working New Yorkers. Even for those
that earn more than minimum right now, this action would create an upward pull on wages... an upward
pull on opportunity…. and an upward pull on our economy.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted leftwing “socialist” that he was – wanted the workers on his assembly
line to be able to afford to PURCHASE the cars they worked to BUILD. So he gave them a living wage.
I assure you, he didn’t do it to be charitable; he did it because he knew it was good for business. I’d say
it worked out pretty well for old Henry.
Creating more affordable housing; raising wages and benefits; strengthening our neighborhoods by
better connecting them to jobs and opportunity – THAT is how we’ll take on the Tale of Two Cities.
It won’t be easy. And we know there will be critics who say it just can’t be done… that our destiny is to
be a city for The Privileged Few…not a city for all.
But New York is no stranger to facing big challenges -- and the many doubting Thomases -- and knows
how to overcome them. In fact, we revel in proving them wrong.

Thirty years ago, in his 1985 State of the City Address, Mayor Ed Koch announced what was an
UNPRECENDENTED plan for affordable housing.
He understood the transformative power of city government to revitalize whole communities. His
administration stated the clearly: QUOTE “we’re creating more than just apartments – we’re re-creating
neighborhoods.” END QUOTE
There were those who said it couldn’t be done. Historian Jonathan Soffer wrote of Koch’s plan: QUOTE
"It was an extremely risky move. Some experts said at first that Koch's goal was 'inspirational rather
than realistic.’” END QUOTE
But we know now that Koch’s plan WAS realistic… in fact, it worked. And it had a transcendent impact
on our city.
And so today, WE face the challenge of a city in which more and more people want to live. It’s a nice
problem to have in one way, but it’s a major challenge nonetheless.
We will not lose sight of WHY our city is a beacon for so many. It’s not the cleanest place, nor the most
tranquil. We don’t have the best weather or many alluring natural landmarks. But we have something
special, something unique: an idea at our core – a PROMISE – that ours is a city…for EVERYONE.
We are charged in our time with the sacred duty of keeping that promise… and we will not sit idle in the
face of crisis.
John F. Kennedy put it well. He said: "There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far
less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable INACTION."

And we’ll continue to lead a City government that reflects all that is great about the New Yorkers we are
so honored to serve.

It’s a pleasure to be here with our city officials: First Deputy Mayor
Shorris, Deputy Mayors Glen, Barrios-Paoli, and Buery, and
commissioners, community members and leaders, and our elected
officials, including Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.
More than a hundred years ago, a young woman named Anna

Briganti arrived in our city after emigrating from Grassano, a small
town in southern Italy rich in natural beauty, but scarce in
opportunities for its people.
Anna traded picturesque hillsides, and small town familiarity… for

an apartment at 205 East 17 th Street in Manhattan, just a short
walk from here…a place lacking the tranquil comforts of her
childhood…a neighborhood where few spoke her native language.
But Anna’s NEW home offered her something that her OLD one did
not: profound possibilities to create a better life… for herself…AND
for her children.
So, in the year 1910 -- a decade before our country granted women
the right to vote – Anna opened an embroidery company: The
Misses Briganti… its very name a proud symbol of single women –
the “Miss-ES” referring to her sister, and her mother, and herself –
three women who started the business, together.
My grandmother’s story – like most New York success stories – was

not a fairy tale. She did not stumble upon success through luck or

charm; she forged it with hard work and raw grit.
And she lived in a place that rewarded those things in unique and
powerful ways.
For generations, New York has been a city that unleashed human
potential.
A place offering opportunity for EVERYONE, no matter how your

life’s story began; opportunity for innovators and visionaries to
write new chapters in our history; and for parents and grandparents
to write brighter ones for the next generation.
It’s at risk because so many who LIVE in New York struggle to

AFFORD to be here.
And, since only half of New Yorkers speak only English at home, let
me say that a different way:
Por generaciones [he-ne-rah-see-oh-nes], Nueva York ha sido una

ciudad que le da rienda [ree-en-dah] suelta [soo-el-tah] al potenciál
humáno.
Pero aquí está la dúra verdad: todo eso está hoy en riésgo [ree-es-
goh].
Está en riesgo [ree-es-goh] porque a muchas personas que viven

aquí les cuésta [qwes-tah] demasiádo PÓDER quedárse [kay-dar-say]
aquí. Nosotros querémos cambiár eso.
You can see it all over New York -- in the eyes of the single mother
in Coney Island, working two jobs and barely scraping together
enough for a modest apartment to share with her kids.
You can see it in the worn hands of the fast food worker in
Washington Heights, consumed with worry as the calendar
approaches the first of the month…the day the rent is due.
You can see it in the furrowed brow of the senior in Rosebank on

Staten Island, as she sweeps her porch to chase away thoughts of
whether she’s saved enough to stay in her small house in the only
neighborhood she’s ever called home.
If we do not act -- and act BOLDLY -- New York risks taking on the
qualities of a gated community… A place defined by exclusivity,
rather than opportunity. And we cannot let that happen.
Over the past two years, I’ve spoken about the need to take dead
aim at the Tale of Two Cities, and about our vision for creating One
New York, rising together...a city where EVERYONE has a shot at the
middle class.
And while we have so much more work to do, 2014 was a year of
great progress in our effort to address inequality and lift up our
families.
Some examples:
We achieved full-day Pre-K for more than 50,000 of our

kids.
We nearly doubled enrollment in after-school programs for

middle school kids in all five boroughs.
By executive order, we expanded living wage coverage to

18,000 workers.
With the help of the City Council – and the strong

leadership of my partner in government, Speaker Melissa
Mark-Viverito – we secured paid sick leave for 500,000
more New Yorkers.
We ended the overuse of stop-and-frisk, reducing stops by

over 75%. And since we instituted our new marijuana policy,
arrests are almost down almost 65%.
At the same time, thanks to our courageous men and women in

uniform, we’ve not only kept New York City safe – we’ve made it
even safer.

Our NYPD officers helped bring the city’s crime rate to an
ALL-TIME low – with the smallest number of murders,
robberies, and burglaries on record.
The FDNY responded to a record 1.6 MILLION emergency

calls…always at the ready when New Yorkers needed help.
The Correction Department made sweeping reforms,

including an end to punitive segregation for adolescents in
city jails.
Also in 2014, we fought to keep our streets safe and clean for
pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
We established Vision Zero -- bringing pedestrian deaths

down to a level not seen since 1910.
We handled one of the snowiest winters our city has ever

seen, with 11 winter storms in 2014.
And after our sanitation workers did an extraordinary job

clearing our streets…our Department of Transportation
workers filled nearly a half-MILLION potholes.
In 2014, we took on climate change and the damage inflicted by the

extreme weather linked to it.
We built on the strong environmental record of the

Bloomberg Administration by committing to “80 by 50” – a
dramatic, game-changing 80 percent reduction in
greenhouse gases in our city by the year 2050. And we will
be retrofitting not just some, but EVERY public building with
significant energy usage by 2025.
We helped repair the devastation wrought by Superstorm

Sandy – beating even our ambitious goals – with
construction starting on more than 1,000 homes; and badly
needed reimbursements provided to more than 2,000
homeowners.
And today, I want to make perfectly clear that EVERY

reimbursement check will be in the hands of those who

need them by the end of THIS year. From Staten Island to
Canarsie to the Rockaways, families hit by the storm have
been through so much. This Administration will FINISH the
job of helping them rebuild.
In 2014, we balanced our budget in a way that was honest,

responsible, and in keeping with our progressive values.
We came to contract agreements with over 71% of the city’s

workforce, up from ZERO the year before – signing deals
that are fair to both our city workers AND to our taxpayers.
We awarded $690 million in contracts to minority and

women-owned businesses, a 57% increase from the year
before.
And we connected more New Yorkers to jobs, health care, and our
social safety net.
We created the Tech Talent Pipeline to link New Yorkers

from every borough and background to a booming tech
industry that now employs nearly 300,000 people, and is
growing every day in our city.
We invested capital in new economic hubs to create 3,000

new jobs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and 1,000 new jobs at
the Brooklyn Army Terminal that will be there for years to
come.
We announced our plan to redesign our workforce

development system to arm up to 30,000 New Yorkers a
year with the skills for 21 st century jobs.
We ended the fear of communities being left without critical

care services when their hospitals closed without warning –
and began the process of opening half a dozen new
community health clinics.
We ended a ticket blitz on our small businesses, and are on

track to save them $5 million in petty fines -- money they
can put towards growing and hiring.

With the help of the City Council, we created IDNYC– for
both citizens AND undocumented New Yorkers. Let’s be
clear: Relegating ANY New Yorker to life in the shadows is
not who we are as a city. And I’m happy to report that --
less than a month after this program’s inception -- more
than 180,000 New Yorkers have ALREADY made an
appointment to get their ID.
And we began a major new effort – now led by our inspiring

First Lady -- to address the gaps in mental health coverage in
New York City. This issue is personal to Chirlane and me,
and to so many families who’ve watched loved ones fall
through the cracks of an inadequate system. I can’t think of
a smarter, stronger, more compassionate person to lead our
effort to change that than our First Lady. Let’s thank her!
We’ve begun to create 128 community schools – schools

that serve the whole child…offering everything from vision
tests and mental health screenings…to family counseling and
tutoring.
We created 62 PROSE schools – a fresh, new model where

teachers and principals work together to set aside D-O-E and
union rules that hinder innovation…so we can better serve
our kids.
And we invested in Renewal Schools…to FIX 94 struggling

schools…because EVERY child in every neighborhood
deserves a quality education.
All of these things will make our neighborhoods stronger – and

make life in our city better for so many.
But you can’t tap into the opportunities that New York has to offer
if you can’t afford to actually LIVE here.
So I will say this:
While the state of our city is strong, we face a profound challenge.

If we fail to be a city for EVERYONE, we risk losing what makes New
York…NEW YORK.
And nothing more clearly expresses the inequality gap…the

OPPORTUNITY gap…than the soaring cost of housing.
In 2014, 56 percent of rental households in New York were

spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing – up 10
points in a little more than a decade.
Now spending more than 30 percent of your income on housing

means you’re officially “rent-burdened.” That’s an apt description,
since the cost of living is becoming a heavier and heavier burden --
not just on wallets, but on hopes and aspirations, as well.
Part of the problem is that the city has for decades let developers
write their own rules when it came to building housing.
SOMETIMES projects included affordable housing…but far too often,
they did NOT.
As the city expanded, our growth was guided primarily by the

developers’ bottom lines.
That meant a bias towards luxury housing – units that fetched top
dollar, but were entirely out of reach for most New Yorkers…multi-
million dollar homes that drove up rents in the neighborhoods they
occupied – all without a corresponding menu of AFFORDABLE new
options.
This Administration is taking a fundamentally different approach –

one that not only RECOGNIZES the need for more affordable
housing…but DEMANDS it.
First, we’re writing new rules… ones that MANDATE affordable

housing as a condition of development in areas re-zoned for

residential use.
Second, we’ll do everything in our power to KEEP those who already

have affordable housing IN THEIR HOMES.
And third -- since we only have so much land -- we’ll create more
affordable housing by literally building UP… adding density to
appropriate parts of our city.
We are NOT embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers

where they don’t belong. We have a duty to protect and preserve
the culture and character of our neighborhoods, and we WILL DO
SO.
And as we invest in more affordable housing, we will also work with

communities to preserve the fabric of neighborhoods and invest in
things that great neighborhoods need -- from parks and schools…to
shops and restaurants.
Now, there are some places in our city that have not yet been
developed or zoned for housing, but could be. And by taking steps
like adding residential buildings to former manufacturing sites -- or
adding some six to eight story buildings in appropriate places — we
could make a fundamental difference in neighborhoods’
affordability. That means families staying and thriving in the
neighborhoods they love, instead of being priced out.
Will this be difficult? Of course. But let me remind you of a

difficult challenge we overcame just LAST year.
Of all the efforts we made in 2014 to address income inequality, the

most prominent was our successful bid to secure universal, full-day
Pre-K – something bold and meaningful…and something that so
many pundits said we couldn't achieve.
The naysayers said we would never find the funding… or the space…
to give all our kids a chance.
Well, thanks to the tremendous energy of parents, activists,

community leaders, elected officials and good everyday people

throughout the city, we proved the cynics WRONG.
And when it comes to affordable housing, we will prove them

wrong again.
In fact, we’re ALREADY doing so…ALREADY making real progress

towards a more affordable New York.
Here’s how:
First, our Rent Guidelines Board passed the smallest rent increase
EVER last year – helping protect tenants from being squeezed by
their landlords.
Second, we are following through on a plan to build and preserve

affordable housing on an unprecedented scale. We’ve committed
to the construction of 80,000 new units of affordable housing by
2024.
Let me put that in perspective: it means building new affordable

units at TWICE the average annual rate of the past 25 years.
When you add that to the 120,000 units that our plan preserves, it
means affordable housing for a half MILLION New Yorkers…more
than the entire population of the city of Miami. Take THAT, Miami!
This is what our housing plan does. It’s real. Those here…can pick
up a copy. And anyone can read it online at NYC.gov.
And we’re ALREADY putting this plan into action. Our goal for 2014
was to create and preserve 16,000 units. We beat that goal --
achieving 17,300 affordable units last year alone.
Third, because it’s been projected that New York City will be home
to nine MILLION people by 2040, we’re pursuing EVERY kind of
housing.
Increasing the overall supply of housing is critical to serving New

Yorkers at all income levels -- and to assuring we can accommodate
the workforce who will continue to grow our economy.
So we plan for the construction of 160,000 market rate units as

well.
All told, our plan will create hundreds of thousands of construction

jobs – and over 20,000 permanent jobs.
To expedite the right kind of development, we must expedite the

development process.
What we need, and what we will have, is fundamental reform at

the Department of Buildings. This agency must better serve its
customers – including thousands of small businesses that drive our
economy. We’ll speed up inspections and cut bureaucracy, so that
more jobs can be created and more housing can be built.
Fifth -- for the first time in New York City history, we are creating a
Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning requirement that will apply to ALL
major residential re-zonings.
In EVERY major rezoning development, we will REQUIRE developers

to include affordable housing. Not as an option. As a precondition.
Want to see this approach in action? Look at Astoria Cove in

Queens. As a result of this Administration’s framework -- and the
City Council’s tough negotiations -- 465 units of affordable housing
will be created this site alone.
That’s 465 families who no longer have to choose between living in

the city they call home, or finding another city they CAN afford. It
means that hundreds of kids will live and learn and grow in OUR
city.
Astoria Cove is a site in which previous City re-zoning policy

wouldn’t have required ANY units of affordable housing. ZERO.
That was, in fact, the original plan.
So if you want to see the difference that our approach is already

making – it’s the difference between 465...and zero…on one site
alone.

And there are many MORE re-zonings like this coming soon to
neighborhoods across the five boroughs – from East New York to
Long Island City; from Flushing West to East Harlem; from
downtown Staten Island to the Jerome Avenue Corridor in the
Bronx.
Each of these efforts will make our neighborhoods stronger and

more affordable.
And here’s one that will be a game-changer when it comes to

keeping our city affordable for thousands of New York families:
Sunnyside Yards.
Right now, there are 200 acres of land in the heart of Queens, land
that exists in the form of a rail yard – and ONLY a rail yard. But the
fact is, those tracks could easily exist underground – allowing us to
build housing – much of it affordable -- above them.
At Sunnyside Yards, we’ll work with the community and local

elected officials to create a plan that incorporates what diverse and
dynamic neighborhoods need -- access to transportation, parks,
schools, retail stores, and job opportunities.
Our approach is not entirely novel. Developments that prioritize

affordability and livability HAVE been built before -- from Starrett
City to Co-Op City to Stuy Town.
Stuy Town, when it opened in 1947 provided our city with 11,250
affordable apartments… a community where trees and parks, and
shops dotted a landscape from which residents could actually see
the sky.
We’re bringing that same kind of scale -- and a real sense of

urgency -- to Sunnyside Yards…and setting the same exact goal of
11,250 affordable units, as part of a neighborhood that anyone
would be proud to call home.
And in contrast to the recent history of Stuy Town, we’re going to

make sure that affordable housing at Sunnyside Yards STAYS that
way.
To paraphrase one of my former employers, it takes a village to

build a neighborhood. So we look forward to partnering with
Amtrak and the MTA in this extraordinary effort at Sunnyside Yards.
Another transformative opportunity lies in the Lower Concourse

neighborhood on the waterfront in the South Bronx, a section of
our city that was for so long synonymous with urban decay.
But the South Bronx is coming back strong, and waterfront

development will be a big step forward.
When we look at this project, we don’t think about what USED to

define the Bronx; we think about all that WILL define the Bronx in
the future.
With a $200 million capital investment, we can stimulate the

development of 4,000 new units of housing – much of it affordable
-- and provide the parks, schools, and commercial development that
support a growing, thriving population.
We look forward to partnering with Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito

and our colleagues in government to make an investment that will
bring hope and opportunity to a place with enormous potential.
Battered by years of economic distress even before Sandy’s gale

force winds struck, there’s no place in our city that has persevered
through more.
Our plan will jumpstart the process of acquiring underutilized

properties in the Rockaways – areas blighted or vacant for decades
– as we look to create new, affordable housing for thousands there.
We must also remember that transportation is central to the

mission of providing affordable housing and services -- connecting
neighborhoods in the five boroughs to New York’s largest job
centers.

For years, the conventional wisdom has been that certain
neighborhoods are doomed to isolation because of their geography.
Today, if you live in one of those neighborhoods – the Rockaways or

Red Hook or Soundview, among others -- a job in Manhattan can
easily mean an hour or more of commuting, even when the skyline
is visible from your home. You can actually SEE opportunity, but
practically speaking, it’s very far away.
Today, we announce that we’re launching a new citywide ferry

service to be open for business in 2017. New ferry rides will be
priced the same as a MetroCard fare, so ferries will be as affordable
to everyday New Yorkers as our subways and buses. …. so residents
of the Rockaways and Red Hook and Soundview will now be closer
to the opportunities they need.
And beyond connecting residents to jobs in Manhattan, our new

citywide ferry system will spur the development of new commercial
corridors throughout the outer boroughs.
We will also expand Bus Rapid Transit – or B-R-T – serving 400,000

New Yorkers along key thoroughfares like Utica Avenue in Brooklyn,
and Woodhaven Boulevard in Queens… completing a network of 20
routes over the next four years. B-R-T will cut transit time on
existing routes by 15-25%. That means New Yorkers spending less
time in transit and more time living their lives.
First, our veterans. We commit to ENDING chronic veterans

homelessness by the end of this year. Those who fight to protect
our freedom abroad should NEVER be left without a home.
Second, our seniors. We’re providing 10,000 units of affordable

housing for – New Yorkers who have worked hard all of their lives,
and deserve to retire in dignity. Women and men who live on fixed
incomes have little recourse when housing costs go up. They need

our help, and they will get it.
Third, artists. We know that New York is the city it is today in part
because of the contributions from generations of artistic visionaries
who at one point struggled to make ends meet.
So we’ll provide 1500 units of affordable live/work housing for the

artists and musicians who make New York culture so vibrant…. as
well as 500 dedicated affordable workspaces for the cultural
community.
These folks bring joy to everyday New Yorkers; and inspire young
people to pursue their natural talents in professions that often don’t
promise a big paycheck. They also help make our city a mecca for
tourists, and are one of the reasons why a record number of people
-- 56.4 MILLION -- visited New York last year.
But whether or not you’re a veteran, a senior, or an artist, you’ve

likely felt the pinch of skyrocketing housing costs in our city.
That’s due in part to a phenomenon that everybody sees, everybody

feels – but nobody wants to really talk about: gentrification.
Ask 8.4 million New Yorkers what they think about gentrification,
and you’ll get 8.4 million opinions.
First, the good.
After two decades of steadily declining crime, people are excited to

come to New York…about investing in our city.
With that influx of people and resources comes jobs and

amenities...more activity…safer streets.
The PROBLEM comes when we reach the tipping point…when New

Yorkers get PRICED OUT of their own neighborhoods.
In the past, we’ve been told: sorry – there’s nothing you can do
about that. You can either have a safe and clean neighborhood –

OR you can have one you can afford. Not both.
Well, as my grandmother might say, that’s una cavolata!"
You see, New York City’s last twenty years has had its share of bad
actors.
First, there are the slumlords – the folks who refuse to make
repairs…letting housing decay…making apartments uninhabitable.
Then, there are predatory landlords – the people who take

advantage of a red-hot real estate market – employing ugly tactics
to push out moderate-income tenants to make room for wealthier
ones.
These predatory landlords harass tenants by, say, intermittently

turning off the heat or hot water, or by refusing to address simple
matters of safety or sanitation.
That doesn’t just violate the law; it violates our values as New
Yorkers.
When I was Public Advocate, we published the Worst Landlords

Watchlist – targeting those who refused to make simple repairs to
the units they controlled.
It helped spur change, with hundreds of buildings coming off the

list after making needed improvements…and thousands of tenants
getting the repairs they needed. I applaud Public Advocate Tish
James for energetically continuing this effort.
Albany has responsibility for enforcing our rent laws, but too often
that doesn't happen. We need Albany to step up and enforce the
laws aggressively. NOW.

Every day in this city, people are losing their homes unfairly. Albany
cannot wait -- we need help right now.
And we need stronger rent regulations that reflect today's New

York.
To preserve our city as a place for everyone, we need to do more

than ever to protect the one million rent-regulated apartments in
New York. For so many, it's the only way they make ends meet…
and the only path to the middle class.
If Albany truly believes in opportunity for all, they will strengthen

our rent laws in 2015.
If they cannot do that, then we call on the State to provide the

funding to help tenants…help THEMSELVES – by providing free legal
services to victims of landlord neglect or harassment.
And even while we’re calling on Albany to step up, the City will do
ITS part.
So today, I’m announcing that in ANY of the areas in which the city
rezones, if we find evidence that tenants are being harassed, we will
supply those tenants with legal representation, at no cost, to take
their case to Housing Court…to seek justice before a judge.
Protecting our tenants – through whatever means necessary – isn’t

just the moral thing to do. It’s a critical step in making New York
City a more affordable place for EVERYONE. And we should thank
the City Council for their historic support of legal services for
tenants.
All of the steps on housing that I’ve spoken about today – from
responsibly building UP; to placing new demands on developers; to
providing affordable housing to New Yorkers who need it most; to
targeting predatory landlords – it’s all part of our new rules for
Today we’ve focused on the NUMBER ONE expense in the lives of

most New Yorkers. Reducing the expense of housing is absolutely
critical to addressing the Tale of Two Cities. But we’ll also fight on

the other end of the equation.
Because nothing does more to address income equality than

actually raising people’s incomes.
There’s one critical step that could do so much good. RAISING THE
MINIMUM WAGE.
Now Albany’s shown some promising signs on this subject – but for
it to be more than just talk -- and to have a real impact on the lives
of those living in New York City – we need more.
The current minimum wage proposal simply doesn’t do enough to

help New York City. That’s why WE will fight to raise New York
City’s minimum wage to more than $13 per hour in 2016… while
indexing the minimum wage, which would bring us to a projected
Why is indexing so important? Because it means that hardworking

New Yorkers won’t have to wait on new action from Albany just to
keep pace with inflation.
It’s difficult to overstate the positive impact this would have on

working New Yorkers. Even for those that earn more than
minimum right now, this action would create an upward pull on
wages... an upward pull on opportunity…. and an upward pull on
our economy.
Indeed, Henry Ford – the noted leftwing “socialist” that he was –

wanted the workers on his assembly line to be able to afford to
PURCHASE the cars they worked to BUILD. So he gave them a living
wage.
I assure you, he didn’t do it to be charitable; he did it because he

knew it was good for business. I’d say it worked out pretty well for
old Henry.
Creating more affordable housing; raising wages and benefits;

strengthening our neighborhoods by better connecting them to jobs
and opportunity – THAT is how we’ll take on the Tale of Two Cities.
It won’t be easy. And we know there will be critics who say it just

can’t be done… that our destiny is to be a city for The Privileged
Few…not a city for all.
But New York is no stranger to facing big challenges -- and the

many doubting Thomases -- and knows how to overcome them. In
fact, we revel in proving them wrong.
Thirty years ago, in his 1985 State of the City Address, Mayor Ed
Koch announced what was an UNPRECENDENTED plan for
affordable housing.
He understood the transformative power of city government to

revitalize whole communities. His administration stated the clearly:
QUOTE “we’re creating more than just apartments – we’re re-
creating neighborhoods.” END QUOTE
There were those who said it couldn’t be done. Historian Jonathan

Soffer wrote of Koch’s plan: QUOTE "It was an extremely risky
move. Some experts said at first that Koch's goal was 'inspirational
rather than realistic.’” END QUOTE
But we know now that Koch’s plan WAS realistic… in fact, it worked.
And it had a transcendent impact on our city.
A city that was struggling and shrinking when Koch took office…
turned around.
And so today, WE face the challenge of a city in which more and

more people want to live. It’s a nice problem to have in one way,
but it’s a major challenge nonetheless.
We will not lose sight of WHY our city is a beacon for so many. It’s
not the cleanest place, nor the most tranquil. We don’t have the
best weather or many alluring natural landmarks. But we have
something special, something unique: an idea at our core – a
We are charged in our time with the sacred duty of keeping that
promise… and we will not sit idle in the face of crisis.

John F. Kennedy put it well. He said: "There are risks and costs to a
program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks
and costs of comfortable INACTION."
And we’ll continue to lead a City government that reflects all that is
great about the New Yorkers we are so honored to serve.

First Lady Chirlane Mccray Delivers Remarks at the

'From Punishment to Public Health' (P2Ph) 2015
Conference in Brooklyn
January 28, 2015
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
Thank you, Eric. The people of Brooklyn are lucky to have you for a Borough President—and our family is
lucky to have you as a friend.
And thank you NYC Council Member Andrew Cohen, Chair of the Mental Health Committee.
I know that Bill was proud to be an early member of Team Andrew, and I can’t think of a better person to
lead this important committee. I look forward to working with Andrew on our shared priorities in the years
to come.
Speaking of shared priorities, I’m grateful to two people who have been so generous with their time and
expertise, both of whom are with us today: Dr. Mary Bassett, Commissioner of the Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene; and Dr. Gary Belkin, her Executive Deputy Commissioner for Mental Hygiene.
And, I thank everyone who helped put this conference together, especially Jeff Coots and Alice Cini.
As soon as I learned about this gathering, I knew it was the right opportunity for me to announce a new
initiative that is close to my heart.
It’s difficult for me to pinpoint the exact moment when mental illness first touched my life, but it’s likely
that I was quite young.
Both my mother, a daughter of immigrants, and my father, a World War II veteran, struggled with
depression—although neither one of them would have called it that. They were hardworking, committed
parents. And to their enormous credit, even when they experienced periods of intense sadness, they tried
their best to give their children all we needed.
When I left Massachusetts in 1977 for New York City, I had no idea how I would adjust to big-city life. But I
started working in the publishing industry, with magazines, and I loved it.
Every day I was surrounded by words, and I got to help create the glossy publications I had hungrily
devoured in doctor’s offices back home. And my co-workers? Well, they were everything I imagined New
Yorkers to be: smart, confident, and in complete control of their sophisticated lives.

Or at least that’s how it seemed. One day, after I had just started a new job, I asked about the person who
used to hold the position. And that led to one of those, “What did I say wrong?” moments.
People were visibly flustered. They were unable to find the precise words to describe what had happened.
In whispers, they talked about an “abrupt personality change” and a “breakdown.”
And that’s all anyone would say before quickly changing the subject.
Which of course made me even more curious. But, I did not want to be impolite or make anyone feel
uncomfortable.
So I let the conversation drop—because the message I was getting was clear. The way a sophisticated New
Yorker handles this kind of thing is to not talk about it. Pretend it isn’t there. Get on with your life.
Well, I have big news for all of you today. We’re about to send New Yorkers a different kind of message.
Today, I am proud to announce that the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City is making a long-term
commitment to the ongoing effort to build a better mental health system.
The Mayor’s Fund—which I lead as Board Chair—will work with DOHMH and the Fund for Public Health to
create a roadmap for a more inclusive mental health system.
We are approaching this work through a “public health” lens.
That means we will not focus only on specific high-need illnesses and their impact on individuals.
We’re going to take a bird’s-eye view and look at the range of conditions that affect entire communities.
The roadmap will be structured around two key objectives:
First, we will describe the burden of mental illness on New Yorkers.
That means we will present information on the prevalence of common conditions like depression, anxiety
and addiction.
And just how common are these diseases? The numbers are eye-opening. In any given year, it is estimated
that 7 percent of adults in the United States are affected by depression; 18 percent are affected by
anxiety; and 8.2 percent of Americans 12 or older are affected by a substance abuse disorder.
In our roadmap, we will also describe the economic, social and personal costs of these conditions.
And we will map the disparity in services that exists between groups and neighborhoods.
Because we know that many communities do not have access to good resources, and as a result their
burden is greater.
Our second objective is to outline a plan. We will lay out a series of actions that address the needs and
disparities we identify.
This is not going to be one of those reports that takes forever to complete, only to languish on a dusty

shelf.
We will release the roadmap this summer. And soon after, the Mayor’s Fund will commit resources to
pursue its findings.
At the same time, DOHMH will work with its fellow agencies and City Hall to make sure that what we learn
is incorporated into City policies and programs.
We are creating this roadmap because even as science has made advances in treatment options and
therapy has grown more acceptable, too many of our policies and programs still address mental illness in a
less-than-helpful way.
And that’s because too many of us aren’t yet ready to face up to the presence of mental illness in our lives.
We ignore it. We sweep it under the rug. We cross the street.
But no matter how hard we try to avoid it, the truly shocking reality is that our city and nation are
experiencing a mental health crisis.
As the statistics make clear, the pain of depression and anxiety is everywhere. We can see it in our family
members, our friends, and our co-workers.
I have to tell you that my way of thinking about all this changed dramatically when our daughter, Chiara,
revealed to us that she was struggling with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
I felt everything you’d expect a mother to feel. Love for her, first and foremost. But also guilt, fear, and a
great deal of uncertainty.
It was quite a task for us to find affordable mental health professionals and a program to meet Chiara’s
needs. The needs of our daughter, who is no longer a child and not quite an adult. A young woman who
has become an edgy biracial activist.
I’m proud to say that Chiara is kicking butt at recovery—and she’s working really hard to help other young
people dealing with similar challenges.
So after everything I’ve experienced and after seeing one of the people I love most in the world suffer so
much, I find myself talking every day about the mental health crisis facing our city. Talking to Bill. To my
colleagues. To anyone who will listen.
Our family is lucky—we lead a comfortable life. And yet it was really hard for us to get our daughter
appropriate help. So can you imagine what it must be like for the 46 percent of New Yorkers living at or
near the poverty line? What is it like for a woman who speaks only Spanish? An African American father
living in Brownsville? A grandmother raising her grandchild? Or someone who was formerly incarcerated?
All of these questions lead to a larger one: What can we do as a city to make sure that everyone has access
to the mental health services they need?
I’ve devoted a lot of time over the last year to exploring that question.
I was inspired by a visit I made to the Manhattan Family Justice Center.

As some of you may know, the centers are a one-stop resource for the victims of domestic violence.
They’re places where one can access a wide array of services—including counseling. And all of the City’s
four centers are supported by the Mayor’s Fund.
When I was at the Manhattan Center, I spent some time talking to the counselors. Three things quickly
became clear. First, they are doing amazing work. Second, they need more help. And third, we need more
culturally-appropriate counselors.
Despite everyone’s best efforts, the demand for mental health services is simply exceeding our capacity.
Following that visit, I reached out to Commissioner Bassett. I wanted to find out what her team was doing
around mental health, if there were alternative models we could be employing, and how I could help.
She was happy to hear from me, and eager to let me know that DOHMH and a diverse team of
stakeholders were indeed thinking about how to create a network of services—a network that would be
wide enough to encompass all five boroughs… and strong enough to support everyone who needs help,
even those dealing with the weightiest challenges.
So last week, I had the chance to see a program that would fit right into this network.
At the invitation of Dr. Belkin, I visited the Family Resource Center of the Southern Bronx.
Although their names are similar, Family Resource Centers are much different than Family Justice Centers.
Family Resource Centers provide support to the parents and caregivers of young people who have—or are
at risk of developing—emotional and behavioral challenges.
If that description sounds a little generic, the help they provide is not.
What blew me away is that the Resource Centers are staffed by people who can truly relate to what their
clients are going through—and that’s because they’ve been there.
Every Family Advocate has personal, first-hand experience raising a child with special needs, and
connecting them to effective programs and services.
They have already navigated through the frustration. They have already shed the tears.
The pain of seeing their child suffer—and the joy of making things right—is just a memory away. They “get
it” in a way that can’t be taught. And this allows them to connect to their clients in the deepest way.
I’m thinking now about a conversation I had with Darleen, her son Darryl, and their Family Advocate,
Michelle.
Darryl was one of those kids you can’t help but like. He had big, round, soft brown eyes and was rocking
these amazing tie-dyed pants.
What brought Darleen and Darryl to the center was his struggle to manage his anger.
At the center, Darryl was able to talk through his frustrations in a safe, non-judgmental environment. He
also learned coping techniques—things he can do to calm himself. Two of his favorites are cooking and

drawing.
While we were talking, he passed around his phone so we could see a photo of his recent artwork, and it
was really good. I know Darryl has a bright future ahead of him.
And so does his mom. Darleen and Michelle, her Family Advocate, talked like old friends—people who
have been through a lot together.
There are a total of nine Family Resource Centers throughout the five boroughs, serving almost 3,000
people annually. And while that’s great, everyone agrees—it’s not nearly enough!
That’s why I am so excited to announce the roadmap that will guide us toward a more inclusive mental
health system.
This administration is not going to walk on by and pretend the mental health crisis doesn’t exist. We’re
going to make a plan.
And then, we’re going to back that plan up with people and programs.
I hope you will consider partnering with us. If you like where we’re headed, will you please raise your
hands?
That’s wonderful! Because we cannot do this work alone.
With your partnership, we can create that network I was talking about—one that is as big and inclusive as
the city we love.
With your expertise, we can make sure the network reflects our very best thinking.
And with your energy, we can create a healthier—and happier—New York.
Thank you!

David Brock resigns from Hillary Clinton PAC
By Kenneth P. Vogel
2/9/15 2:42 PM EST
David Brock on Monday abruptly resigned from the board of the super PAC Priorities USA Action, revealing
rifts that threaten the big-money juggernaut being built to support Hillary Clinton’s expected presidential
campaign.
In a resignation letter obtained by POLITICO, Brock, a close Clinton ally, accused Priorities officials of
planting “an orchestrated political hit job” against his own pro-Clinton groups, American Bridge and Media
Matters.
Those groups – along with another pro-Clinton group, the super PAC Ready for Hillary – had their
fundraising practices called into question last week by a New York Times report. It pointed out that veteran
Democratic fundraiser Mary Pat Bonner got a 12.5 percent commission on funds she raised for Brock’s
groups, and a smaller percentage commission on cash she raised for Ready for Hillary.
In his letter to the co-chairs of Priorities’ board – former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and former
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina – Brock alleged that “current and former Priorities officials were
behind this specious and malicious attack on the integrity of these critical organizations.”
The letter – and Brock’s resignation – offer a rare glimpse into a network of groups upon which Democrats
are relying to keep the White House and stave off increasingly robust big-money efforts on the right. The
public airing of dirty laundry comes as sources say Priorities is struggling to live up to the hopes of some
Clinton allies, who had argued it should aim to raise as much as $500 million to eviscerate prospective
Clinton rivals in the primary and general elections.
Brock, who spent his early career in Washington as a self-described “right-wing hit man” before
experiencing a political awakening and emerging as the leader of an empire of hard-hitting liberal attack
groups, contends in his letter that Priorities is trying to damage his groups’ fundraising efforts, “while
presumably enhancing Priorities’ own. Frankly, this is the kind of dirty trick I’ve witnessed in the right-wing
and would not tolerate then. Our Democratic Presidential nominee deserves better than people who
would risk the next election – and our country’s future – for their own personal agendas.”
Brock did not respond to requests for comment about the letter, his group’s relationship with Bonner or
with the other big-money groups boosting Clinton.
Craig Smith, a senior advisor to Ready for Hillary, said his group is still working with Bonner, as well as with
Priorities and Brock’s groups. “We have worked with them for almost two years. We continue to work with
them. We all do very different things, so there’s not a lot of overlap.”

Asked if he thought rivals on the left were circulating negative information on Bonner, he said “I would
hope not. Not that I’m aware of.”
Priorities spokesman Peter Kauffmann denied that Priorities had anything to do with the Times story,
which also noted that his group paid fundraising commission on at least $2 million worth of checks,
including from California tech billionaire Irwin Jacobs. Sources say Jacobs was upset by the revelations.
Kauffmann said Priorities is no longer paying fundraising commissions, and that it maintains close working
relationships with the other groups boosting Clinton.
“Priorities USA Action and allied organizations demonstrated a clear ability to work together effectively in
2012 and we look to replicate that success again in 2016,” he said.
Still, Priorities and Ready for Hillary do to some extent compete with one another – and with Brock’s
outfits – for big checks from wealthy Clinton backers. At one point, Priorities’ allies tried to force Ready for
Hillary to shut down. But the groups – along with Brock’s – eventually entered into a sometimes uneasy
alliance to lay the groundwork for the former Secretary of State to run for president in 2016. Together, the
groups formed an unprecedented shadow campaign that combined to raise millions in 2014. American
Bridge’s Correct the Record Project defends Clinton against political attacks, while Ready for Hillary builds
files of voter and small donors, and Priorities cultivates relationships with major donors.
The idea was both to build an infrastructure that would allow Clinton to hit the ground running if and when
she declared her candidacy for the Democratic nomination and also to project a financial show of force
that would overwhelm any prospective rival in the primary or general elections.
The in-fighting is an ominous sign. It calls to mind the squabbles that helped sink Clinton’s 2008
presidential campaign. It, too, was regarded as an unrivaled cash juggernaut, but feuding among cliques of
supporters stymied efforts to launch a planned big-money outside effort in time to neutralize a surprisingly
robust insurgent primary challenge from Barack Obama.
This time around, her allies tried to preempt the sectarianism by cross-pollinating the various groups to
keep everyone on the same page and minimize competition. Granholm is on the boards of both Priorities
and Ready for Hillary, while Brock joined the board of Priorities, and longtime Clintonite James Carville has
been paid by American Bridge for assistance with fundraising and strategic advice.
But there also are more groups competing for big checks from rich Clinton backers than there were in
2008.
In his resignation letter, Brock asserted a “serious breach of trust between organizations that are supposed
to work together toward common ends has created an untenable situation that leaves me no choice but to
resign my position.”

From the man writing the E-Book. Good stuff.
Why Did a ‘Liberal’ Critique of Bill de

Blasio Distort His Record?
Noam Scheiber says the mayor should focus more on economic populism—but
neglects to mention his big wins for New Yorkers.

On Saturday, from 11:45 AM – 12:00 PM, MBDB will be the final speaker during the opening
remarks at USCM. John, do you want to work with our speechwriting team to put these together?
Roughly 10 minutes of remarks.
For awareness, he will then do one on ones with 2-3 other mayors before leaving for Albany.

Opening Remarks & Commissioner’s Welcome
Introduction: Kevin Johnson, Mayor of Sacramento, USCM President
Guest: Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner
Commissioner Silver will welcome the nation’s Mayors and discuss the
current health and well-being of the league. He will also discuss the need
for municipal cooperation for the NBA and the role that Mayors can play
within that dynamic.

x Current federal commitments not

enough to maintain, enhance system
x Must organize, pressure Congress
x Need real authorization with strong

funding, particularly for public transit
x But to succeed, must work together
x 2) Immigration reform

7
x Mayors on front lines with millions of
immigrants living in cities
x Began organizing last December with

Immigration Summit in New York City
o Left with concrete action plan to

successful implementation

Is know we’re trying to keep this stuff in the boss’ voice, but can we cut down on the
use of the word “powerful” ? :)
Possible add - if it’s not too much of a stretch: referencing the pick-up games on West
Fourth Street… Could make a joke about how the All-Stars could get a run for their
money there… Could also reference an after-school program like Basketball Stars of
New York - teaching our kids teamwork, competition, staying healthy - all while giving

SOTC.

1. Not sure that the NBA is really known for valuing education. Aren’t
they the league that tries to get kids to drop out of college & sign up for
the pros early? :)

2. Agree with Gabriel about immigration before transit
3. Can we link transit to our affordable housing drive in NYC without
veering off-message with this group?

Outline for ABNY speech
FRAME:
When we tackle an issue like the Tale of Two Cities, we’re talking about affordability.
Right now, too many New Yorkers are getting priced out of their own city. It’s the
affordability crisis, stupid.
There are two sides to that equation: solving problems that crush the pocketbook,
and finding ways to bolster the family pocketbook. They are bookends.
The greatest crush on the family pocketbook is housing, so finding more affordable
places for families to live is the key solution to this side of the equation; on the other
side of the equation, there are ways to help family pocketbooks grow (higher wages;
better benefits; more jobs in growth sectors, expanded opportunities in high wage
sectors, more programs to ease the squeeze that so many families feel).
LOOK-BACK:
In State of the City, we talked about our affordable housing plan – the boldest ever
undertaken in our city. We did this because housing costs are the greatest crush on
the family pocketback, and the great cause on the expenditure side of the affordability
crisis. The solution is constructing more affordable housing; protecting the affordable
housing we currently have; strengthening rent laws, so more places are made
affordable; and improving tenant protections by going after predatory landlords.

FORWARD-LOOKING:
In order to continue the narrative arc from SOTC, we should focus on two things.
1) call to action/join the fight to increase affordable housing by enlisting private sector
help, support and guidance for the plan (ABNY);
2) Begin to lay out the focus on the growing the pocketbook side of the equation. This
entails raising the minimum wage and other wages. Generating jobs that give
people a path to getting into – and staying in – the middle-class. Growing sectors that
have forward-looking growth potential and working with small businesses to grow
and create jobs in every borough. For New York City to be a city for everyone, we need
to tackle the affordability crisis. Here’s why raising minimum wage is important
(upward pressure on wages). Here’s how we’ll generate jobs (projects A, B, and C as
examples). Here’s what we’re doing to lift up our small businesses.
CALL TO ACTION/LION’S DEN:
If it’s ready – we could mention the mansion tax.
If it’s not ready – we urge ABNY and business leaders throughout the city to not just
embrace our plan on housing and wages, but to be our partner in fighting Albany to get
what we need – to join the fight with us:
• Tenant protections
• Strengthening rent laws
• Raise the minimum wage
• Expand EITC (if it’s ready)
This is not a punitive call or a lecture. Rather this is shared call to action that
recognizes we all do better when we all do better, and there is an important role for
the business and insider community to play. These people can make the difference -
and in doing so they will also reap rewards, both for NYC and their own respective
worlds.
PEOPLE TO HIGHLIGHT:

Business that is already raising wages/increasing benefits.
Small business that is growing because owner has affordable housing.
Business that wants to continue recruiting best & brightest – but worries that too
many young people won’t come to NYC because they can’t raise a family here.
Small business/start-up founded by someone who comes from an unlikely place –

maybe NYCHA/CUNY?

Hi!
I need to put together the Mayor’s briefing memo before Sunday. I’ll just do an overview of what we
discussed/agreed to in last meeting and if you have an updated outline I can insert it.
In terms of information, what additional information do you need on tech talent pipeline, Hunts
Point, etc? I’m happy to get materials from the teams for you

Hi Matt,
Sorry, it seems like my email from last week did not go through.
John could make 3/3, 3/6 or just about any day the week of 3/9. Let me know when might work best for
Penny and we’ll add to the calendar.
Thanks!
Liz

Subject: Request for lunch with Penny
Hi, Liz.
I’m writing to see if we might be able to schedule a time for Penny and John to meet over lunch.
Penny’s lunchtimes are pretty much open starting on the 26 th (not 3/4, 3/13) so would you let me
know a couple days that work well for John?
Thanks again!
Matt

ABNY OUTLINE
2/23/15 – 9:00 AM
Acknowledgements
17 months ago, I was honored to address an event hosted by this distinguished

organization -- just about a month before the 2013 mayoral election. (correct, but
fyi that BdB also made an unannounced visit at ABNY in April 2014)
At that time, there were some pundits who wondered exactly how ABNY would
receive me.
After all, my campaign was built around progressive change – about taking aim at
inequality and helping rebuild our middle class. Surely – the cynics argued –
progressive ideas would be met with crickets -- or even worse – when presented to
those who’ve dedicate their lives to growing businesses and the economy.
But knowing this organization, and many of the individuals who comprised the
audience that day, I wasn’t the least bit worried.
That day, I said, QUOTE: “We cannot resign ourselves to the mindset that says rising
inequality is a necessary byproduct of urban success.” No one booed or hissed or
left the room. Instead, that call was met with resounding agreement.
Because this organization…. the people here today… realize that rising inequality
isn’t just a problem for those of modest means – and isn’t just a threat to those
barely hanging on to their place in the middle class. ABNY understands that
inequality is a crisis that impacts all of us, including those who have enjoyed great
personal success.
If New York can’t be a city of open opportunity for all – regardless of the
circumstances of your birth – we not only lose a part of who we are, we risk losing
our place as a global center of innovation, diversity, and progress.
That is why we refuse to accept the false choices that that for too long defined how
some viewed our city:
That sustained economic growth is fated to only help SOME, while leaving
many behind;
That more development inevitably means everyday New Yorkers will be

priced out;
That New York can’t be both a growing city AND a city of opportunity for all.

Our housing plan means:
200,000 new units of affordable housing created or preserved over a decade;
Protecting and strengthening rent regulations in to protect the affordable

housing we currently have;
Requiring affordable housing as a condition of new development;
New ideas for development that envision affordability on a grand scale;
A commitment to the things besides affordable housing that make

neighborhoods livable: good schools, parks and other open spaces, new
commercial development.
Cutting red tape at the Ddepartment of Bbuildings;
And unprecedented tenant protections against predatory landlords.
Making housing in New York more affordable is essential to keeping ours a city of
opportunity and innovation.
That’s why I’m calling on everyone here today to be partners in battling the
affordability crisis. You’ve given so much to this city – and now your city needs you
again – by our side – as we fight for what we need from Albany. Your vision…your
energy…your ambition for lifting New York City to new heights – we need to show
our state, and our country, that we embark on this journey together.
But housing is only one side of the affordability equation.
That is why we’re also working to grow our economy… to expand new job
opportunities, and drive up wages in our city.
This Administration is fighting for smart, inclusive, five-borough economic growth…

growth that benefits ALL New Yorkers, not just those at the top.
That means:
Raising the minimum wage. ($13 per hour in 2016… while indexing the
minimum wage, which would bring us to a projected $15 per hour by 2019);
Generating jobs that give New Yorkers a path to getting into – and staying in
– the middle-class;
Working with small businesses to grow and create jobs in every borough;

And making sure we are utilizing homegrown talent by ensuring that New
Yorkers have the skills they need to thrive in emerging industries.
I want to speak at some length about some of the specific initiatives we are
undertaking on this front:
Below largely placeholder – waiting on comms for specific initiatives:
We created the Tech Talent Pipeline to support the growth of New York’s
technology sector and train New Yorkers to be those companies' premier hiring
choice. This program will not only enable the next great tech innovations to come
from New York, but ensure they are driven by New Yorkers from every background
and every borough.
We are going forward with a plan to redesign our workforce development system to
arm up to 30,000 New Yorkers a year with the skills for 21st century jobs. FROM
SOTC – SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC WE CAN SAY??
MORE TK FROM COMMS
We invested in new economic hubs to create 3,000 new jobs in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and 1,000 new jobs at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. These are PERMANENT
jobs in areas of the city that for so long sat unused. They exemplify smart, inclusive
growth.
Today I want to announce a new proposed project based on that same philosophy.
Hunts Point in the Bronx has significant underused land despite sitting at a key
transportation artery near the RFK Bridge.
So we envision Hunts Point as the site of a new, large-scale food distribution center.
It would promote local entrepreneurship and job growth in the South Bronx, an area
of our city with so much potential.
This site is large, occupying 329 acres. Our vision would be for a commercial
development that that would accommodate over 115 businesses and support or
create almost 9,000 jobs.
Coupled with plans for new, affordable housing development on the South Bronx
waterfront, this plan shows that when we talk about growth in every neighborhood
and every borough, we mean it.
To be sure, we’ll need the partnerships in the business community to make this kind
of development happen. But knowing the people I do in this room, I am so confident

that visions like the proposal Hunts Point will soon become transformative realities
throughout our city.
Some projects will require other partnerships, as well. In coming months, we’re
going to talk about big infrastructure projects that will necessitate federal help.
But there is so much we can do on our own as a city, if we – this Administration, the
people in this room and everyday New Yorkers across our City – all work together.
PERSONAL SMALL BUSINESS/ ABNY STORY HERE.
The imagination, enthusiasm, and grit of the people who call this city home are so
wonderfully exemplified in this room. But we must not forget how much of your
success has grown from the fertile ground of a city of opportunity – and that your
continued success requires that every child of New York has the same shot at
chasing her dreams as you did.
So today, let’s recommit to making our city a place of opportunity and innovation,
not one of cloistered opulence.
We owe it to the next generation -- and to one another – to do what generations of

New Yorkers have done: leave our city more open, inclusive, and inspiring than we
found it.
It’s a big job, but the stories of the people in this room demonstrate that it is a task
well worth undertaking. And we will do it together.
Thank you!

The Revolt of the Cities

AMERICAN PROSPECT - Harold Meyerson - April 22, 2014
Pittsburgh is the perfect urban laboratory,” says Bill Peduto, the city’s new mayor. “We’re small enough to
be able to do things and large enough for people to take notice.” More than its size, however, it’s
Pittsburgh’s new government—Peduto and the five like-minded progressives who now constitute a
majority on its city council—that is turning the city into a laboratory of democracy. In his first hundred days
as mayor, Peduto has sought funding to establish universal pre-K education and partnered with a Swedish
sustainable-technology fund to build four major developments with low carbon footprints and abundant
affordable housing. Even before he became mayor, while still a council member, he steered to passage
ordinances that mandated prevailing wages for employees on any project that received city funding and
required local hiring for the jobs in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ new arena. He authored the city’s responsible-
banking law, which directed government funds to those banks that lent in poor neighborhoods and away
from those that didn’t.
Pittsburgh is a much cleaner city today than it was when it housed some of the world’s largest steel mills.
But, like postindustrial America generally, it is also a much more economically divided city. When steel
dominated the economy, the companies’ profits and the union’s contracts made Pittsburgh—like Detroit,
Cleveland, and Chicago—a city with a thriving working class. Today, with the mills long gone, Pittsburgh
has what Gabe Morgan, who heads the local union of janitorial and building maintenance workers, calls an
“eds and meds” economy. Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh, and its medical center are among
the region’s largest employers, generating thousands of well-paid professional positions and a far greater
number of low-wage service-sector jobs.
Peduto, who is 49 years old, sees improving the lot of Pittsburgh’s new working class as his primary charge.
In his city hall office, surrounded by such artifacts as a radio cabinet from the years when the city became
home to the world’s first radio station, the new mayor outlined the task before him. “My grandfather, Sam
Zarroli, came over in 1921 from Abruzzo,” he said. “He only had a second-grade education, but he was
active in the Steel Workers Organizing Committee in its early years, and he made a good life for himself
and his family. My challenge in today’s economy is how to get good jobs for people with no PhDs but with
a good work ethic and GEDs. How do I get them the same kind of opportunities my grandfather had? All
the mayors elected last year are asking this question.”
They are indeed. The mayoral and council class of 2013 is one of the most progressive cohorts of elected
officials in recent American history. In one major city after another, newly elected officials are planning to

raise the minimum wage or enact ordinances boosting wages in developments that have received city
assistance. They are drafting legislation to require inner-city hiring on major projects and foster
unionization in hotels, stores, and trucking. They are seeking the funds to establish universal pre-K and
other programs for infants and toddlers. They are sketching the layout of new transit lines that will bring
jobs and denser development to neighborhoods both poor and middle-class and reduce traffic and
pollution in the bargain. They are—if they haven’t done so already—forbidding their police from
cooperating with federal immigration authorities in the deportation of undocumented immigrants not
convicted of felonies and requiring their police to have video or audio records of their encounters with the
public. They are, in short, enacting at the municipal level many of the major policy changes that
progressives have found themselves unable to enact at the federal and state levels. They also may be
charting a new course for American liberalism.
New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio has dominated the national press corps’ coverage of the new urban
liberalism. His battles to establish citywide pre-K (successful but not funded, as he wished, by a dedicated
tax on the wealthy), expand paid sick days (also successful), raise the minimum wage (blocked by the
governor and legislature), and reform the police department’s stop-and-frisk policy (by dropping an appeal
of a court order) have been extensively chronicled. But de Blasio is just one of a host of mayors elected last
year who campaigned and now govern with similar populist agendas. The list also includes Pittsburgh’s
Peduto, Minneapolis’s Betsy Hodges, Seattle’s Ed Murray, Boston’s Martin Walsh, Santa Fe’s Javier
Gonzales, and many more.
“We all ran on similar platforms,” Peduto says. “There wasn’t communication among us. It just emerged
organically that way. We all faced the reality of growing disparities. The population beneath the poverty
line is increasing everywhere. A lot of us were underdogs, populists, reformers, and the public was ready
for us.”
This isn’t the first time that America’s cities have collectively shifted their political identities. As political
journalist Samuel Lubell documented in his 1951 study The Future of American Politics—most particularly
his chapter “Revolt of the City”—the New Deal coalition was prefigured by the change in urban voting
patterns during the 1920s. Since the end of the Civil War, the cities of the industrial Midwest and the West
Coast had tilted Republican. In 1920, GOP presidential nominee Warren Harding carried the nation’s 12
largest cities by a margin of 1.54 million votes. In 1928, however, Democratic presidential nominee Al
Smith carried the same 12 cities by a margin of 210,000 votes. Smith was a Catholic—the only Catholic
presidential nominee until John Kennedy ran in 1960—whose speech and manner stamped him
unmistakably as a product of New York’s Lower East Side. His candidacy brought to the polls for the first
time millions of Southern and Eastern European immigrants—predominantly Catholic, Jewish, and Eastern
Orthodox—who had transformed the composition of American cities during the preceding 40 years but
who had never before voted in large numbers. Four years later, they voted in still greater numbers,
sending Franklin Roosevelt to the White House and cementing the nation’s major cities in the Democratic
column for decades to come. At the municipal level, cities long controlled by Republican machines shifted
either to control by Democratic machines or by progressive reformers like New York’s Fiorello La Guardia.
This pattern of demographic transformation is now repeating itself. New coalitions and the presidential
campaigns of Barack Obama have brought millions of Latino, Asian, and African immigrants and the
millennials to the polls, remaking the politics of cities in the process.

Even as the wave of non-European immigrants since the mid-1980s has reshaped the United States—
whose white share of the population was down to 63 percent in 2012—it has reshaped its cities even
more. In New York, which was 53 percent white in the 1980 census, the white share of its population
dropped to 37 percent in the 2010 census. During the same 30 years, Los Angeles saw the white share of
its population drop from 48 percent to 29 percent, Houston from 53 percent to 26 percent, Phoenix from
78 percent to 47 percent, San Diego from 69 percent to 45 percent, Dallas from 57 percent to 29 percent,
Columbus from 76 percent to 59 percent, Boston from 68 percent to 47 percent, Seattle from 79 percent
to 66 percent, and Denver from 67 percent to 52 percent.
It’s not just the racial makeup of cities that is changing; it’s also their generational profile: Cities have seen
a marked increase in their share of 20-somethings. These changes in demographics have coincided with
the change in economics. With both manufacturing and unions in steep decline, major cities have come to
be characterized by levels of economic inequality—reinforced by levels of racial inequality—the nation has
not experienced since before the New Deal.
In America, politics follow demographics: Voters of color and millennial voters stand well to the left of their
white and older counterparts in their support for government intervention to counter the market’s
inequities and for Democratic candidates generally. The voting habits of major cities reflect these
transformations. For example, Barack Obama’s share of the vote in the 2012 presidential election
outpaced Walter Mondale’s share of the vote in the 1984 presidential election by 10.5 percent nationally,
but the difference was far greater in cities. Obama outperformed Mondale by 20 percentage points in New
York City, by 26 points in Los Angeles, 20 in San Diego, 24 in Dallas, 27 in Columbus, 22 in Seattle, and 24
in Denver.
At the level of municipal politics, the change is even starker. Twenty years ago, half of America’s dozen
largest cities had Republican mayors. Today, only San Diego is governed by a Republican, and he was
elected in a low-turnout special election held to replace disgraced Democrat Bob Filner. Indeed, of the
nation’s 30 largest cities, just four (San Diego, Indianapolis, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City) have
Republican mayors, and even they have to swim with the urban tides. Mayor Greg Ballard of Indianapolis
supported increased federal aid to mass transit and opposed his state’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Not every Democratic mayor is progressive, as the record of Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel makes clear.
Demographic recomposition has proved a necessary but insufficient prerequisite for urban political
change. The newcomers to America’s cities also have had to come together as an effective political force.
With few exceptions, the cities that have elected left-populist governments have first reconfigured their
power structures by building coalitions dedicated to greater economic and racial equity. Aided in some
instances by liberal foundations, these coalitions consist chiefly of unions, community-based organizations
in low-income minority neighborhoods, immigrants’ rights groups, affordable-housing advocates,
environmental organizations, and networks of liberal churches, synagogues, and mosques.
The unions that have been key to the formation of these new coalitions—it’s labor, after all, that has the
capacity to provide the lion’s share of funding for these ventures—generally aren’t the municipal employee
locals that have a bargaining relationship with elected officials that can limit their freedom of political
action. They tend, rather, to be unions of private-sector workers—janitors, hotel housekeepers, hospital

orderlies, supermarket clerks. Their members and potential members are often overwhelmingly minority
and substantially immigrant. Indeed, the growing importance of these unions coincides with the growth of
immigrants’ rights groups in most major cities. Their constituencies stand to gain the most from city
policies that raise wages, create affordable housing, and establish community-based policing.
The new urban coalitions develop common strategies, register voters, regularly canvass their respective
communities, groom candidates, research issues, propose policies, lobby elected officials, run their
candidates’ campaigns, and walk precincts. New York’s Working Families Party—the organization that
defined the issues and mobilized the constituencies for the campaigns that elected de Blasio and a
progressive near majority on the city council—has proceeded furthest down the path to becoming a
permanent social democratic and green political force. But many of the cities that went left last year have
coalitions that have begun their own way down this path as well.
Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Phoenix, and Seattle are among the cities that have incubated new labor-
community coalitions over the past decade. In Pittsburgh, the coalition--named Pittsburgh United--began
to take shape during the revitalization of the city’s affiliate of SEIU’s Local 32BJ, the East Coast regional
local of janitorial and building-service workers. Along with Pittsburgh’s union of hotel workers, 32BJ
supported the city’s main African American community organization’s campaign to make inner-city hiring a
condition for the city council’s approval of the new Pittsburgh Penguins sports arena. In turn, the
community group backed the unions’ effort to persuade the council to enact an ordinance guaranteeing
the jobs of fast-food and other franchise workers in city-owned facilities even if the franchise changed
hands. These campaigns divided the city’s unions—the building trades wanted to construct the arena
regardless of who was hired to work inside it—but united the minority communities and the service-sector
unions. In time, the alliance grew to include liberal clergy and groups devoted to cleaning Pittsburgh’s air
and water, particularly in working-class communities.
Initially, the coalition’s sole council ally was Peduto, but that was soon to change. A group of young
professionals who’d come together on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign set out to elect other
progressives to the city council. “We didn’t know the old ways of campaigning,” says Matthew Merriman-
Preston, the political consultant who has managed Peduto’s campaigns and those of every other
progressive council member for the past decade, “so we made it up as we went along. We had people on
the ground talking to their neighbors year after year.”
In 2009, Natalia Rudiak, a Pittsburgh native who had studied at the London School of Economics and done
economic-development work in Africa, decided to run for council in a district she describes as “the most
socially conservative in the city.” In a city whose politics long had been dominated by middle-aged and
elderly men, Rudiak, then 29 years old, wasn’t taken seriously by the Democratic establishment. But Rudiak
came with multiple ties to union leaders (her father ran a public-employees local) and had spent time on
campaigns with Merriman-Preston. Peduto’s prevailing-wage bill was pending in the council during her
campaign, and she stumped for it everywhere she spoke. In return, 32BJ flooded her district with precinct
walkers, as did environmental and feminist groups. Shortly after her upset victory, the council passed the
bill.
Rudiak’s victory was just one of several that reshaped the council between 2007 and 2013. Neither Rudiak
nor Peduto received endorsements from the city’s Democratic Party organizations, but the machine wasn’t

delivering city service as it once had. “It had kept the trains running on time and the streets plowed,”
Rudiak says, “but with the growing financial constraints on the city, particularly after the 2008 crash, it
couldn’t keep doing even those things.” In the city’s older working-class neighborhoods, the new alliance
and its candidates proved to be better ward heelers than the machine.
Minneapolis is a city with a richer history of progressive activism than Pittsburgh. In 1948, Mayor Hubert
Humphrey presented that year’s Democratic National Convention with its first civil-rights platform plank.
For decades, Minnesota came closer to an American version of Scandinavian social democracy than any
other state.
In recent decades, however, both the city’s and state’s demographics and economy have been
transformed. The white share of the city’s population declined from 86 percent in the 1980 census to 64
percent in 2010. Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali community of any city except Mogadishu and
the largest Hmong community outside Laos. “We’re ahead of any other state in equitable income and
health—if you’re white,” says Dan McGrath, who heads TakeAction Minnesota, a progressive political
organization of 45,000 members, which, like New York’s Working Families Party, functions chiefly as an
electoral organization. “Minnesota’s way down the list when you include people of color. Four out of ten
Minneapolis residents are people of color. We won’t have an economy 30 years from now if only half our
minority students graduate high school.”
Nearly a decade ago, several local progressive organizations, including the one established by Paul
Wellstone, decided to merge into a single group, TakeAction Minnesota. At the same time, the city’s SEIU–
affiliated janitorial union and its chief affordable housing organization, ISAIAH, entered a period of rapid
growth. The groups, along with the city’s ACORN chapter, which was the main community-based
organization in the African American community (and which has since reconstituted itself as
Neighborhoods Organizing for Change), and CTUL, an organization of worker centers serving the Latino
immigrant community, began meeting together regularly. In 2011, when the national SEIU decided to fund
local coalitions in 17 cities across the country, the one in Minneapolis was the only such alliance to prove
both effective and enduring—in part because its member groups had already forged such tight bonds.
“We’re grounded in a common experience and analysis,” McGrath says. “Our problem is not just
Republicans. Our problem is the extraordinary imbalance of wealth, unbridled corporate power, and
structural racism.” The commonality of perspectives was augmented by the integration of the groups’
members and staffs—attending retreats together, merging their efforts on various campaigns. “The groups
had to acknowledge that none of them could get anything done just by themselves,” says George Goehl,
the executive director of National People’s Action, a network of community organizations with which
TakeAction Minnesota is affiliated. “They now have so deep a collaboration that when you go to one of
their meetings, you can’t tell who works for whom.”
With the power of their combined numbers, the groups in the alliance—named Minnesotans for a Fair
Economy—have waged a joint campaign to pressure Target, the locally based retail giant, to stop asking
job applicants if they’ve been convicted of a felony, to cease the wage and hour violations inflicted on their
largely immigrant janitorial workforce, and to hire local residents for maintenance jobs at the company’s
new headquarters. Target agreed to drop the question about felonies and to adopt a local hiring policy;
talks continue about the unionization of their janitors. The alliance waged a successful long-shot campaign

against a 2012 ballot measure that would have required state voters to provide photo IDs at their polling
places. And last year, the alliance provided the staff and precinct walkers to put one of their own—Council
Member Betsy Hodges, who had been the executive director of one of the two groups that merged to form
TakeAction Minnesota—into the Minneapolis mayor’s office.
Hodges, who is 44 and describes herself as a “sociologist by training,” was the council’s acknowledged
authority on budget and funding matters. She ran on the issue of reducing the city’s racial disparities. “I
said the same thing in every room I spoke in,” she told me when we met in her office in the cavernous city
hall. “I said, ‘In Minneapolis, we have the biggest racial gaps of any city by any measure. It is a moral
imperative that we end that, but it’s also an economic imperative.’” Hodges talked explicitly about white
people, people of color, and racial disparities—terms that most campaign consultants would urge their
clients to shun—and defeated her opponent, the chair of the state’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, by an
18-point margin.
“A whole lot of white people thought the issue she was addressing was our principal challenge,” McGrath
says. “That’s remarkable.” It’s a testament to Minneapolis’s enduring egalitarianism, but it’s also a
consequence of the door-knocking and issue campaigns of the city’s liberal coalition. “There’s been a lot of
political space created by progressive strategic organizing here in the city,” Hodges says. “It was hugely
helpful to me as a candidate, but it will be even more helpful to me as a mayor. We have to make sure
that everyone is at the table as we work on growing the city, and having people organized really facilitates
that.”
The projects on which Hodges has embarked include a “cradle to kindergarten” program of infant health
care and universal pre-K. As a council member, she initiated a pilot program to provide “body cams” for
police officers to monitor their encounters with the public; she now wants to mandate the cameras for the
entire department. She’s also seeking to route proposed transit lines to better connect minority
communities to neighborhoods with jobs.
No city government may be more at odds with its governor and legislature than that of Phoenix. In 2010,
Arizona enacted SB 1070, which encouraged police to stop and frisk Latinos and if they lacked
documentation, to hand them over to federal agents for deportation. In response, the New York–based
Four Freedoms Fund financed a massive voter-registration campaign in Phoenix’s Latino communities. The
backlash against SB 1070 also fueled the successful efforts of an alliance of Latino and immigrant
organizations and unions to elect Greg Stanton mayor in 2011. Stanton campaigned for union rights and
marriage equality and against SB 1070. Five of the city council’s other eight members—three of whom are
now Latinos—share Stanton’s politics. The council has directed Phoenix police not to hand over detainees
to immigration agents for deportation and instructed the city’s lobbyist in Washington to support
immigration reform.
Seattle’s leftward movement commenced when local unions of janitorial, health-care, supermarket, and
warehouse workers formed a labor-community-environment alliance to win a living-wage ordinance. The
regional tech boom has brought thousands of young professionals to the city, who have proved supportive
of the coalition’s campaigns. “They’re open to human rights and environmental issues, of course,” says
David West, who heads the alliance, “but they’re also not tax-averse and are strongly in favor of raising
the minimum wage.” Going into last year’s city elections, Seattle already had a law for paid sick leave and

one of the highest municipal minimum wages in the nation. A successful SEIU–led campaign to raise the
hourly minimum to $15 in the small suburban community of SeaTac, adjoining Seattle’s airport, made
raising the city’s own minimum to $15 the major issue in November’s mayoral campaign. Both candidates
supported the raise, and the issue also swept a Trotskyist candidate onto the city council. The city’s new
mayor, Ed Murray, who was chiefly known for his successful effort as a state legislator to legalize same-sex
marriage, is negotiating the specifics of the raise.
Seattle’s pro-labor liberalism has trumped what many might view as its infatuation with all things techie.
The city council capped the number of business licenses for such car services as Uber and Lyft after a
campaign that cast the issue as a contest between outside investors and local Ethiopian-immigrant cab
drivers. Last year, Murray’s predecessor blocked the construction of a Whole Foods market because of the
chain’s anti-union stance.
The city’s ability to thwart the coming of a Whole Foods illustrates the often-circuitous ways in which
municipalities are able to leverage their power to win the social outcomes they seek. Seattle was able to
block Whole Foods by exercising its power over streets, since building the new market would have required
the elimination of an existing alley.
“Even when they’re fiscally constrained, cities can set their own rules,” Pittsburgh’s Peduto says. By
leveraging their power over contractors and developers who’ve received city assistance—or who may
merely need city approval to close off an alley—municipal progressives are following the lead of the Los
Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE), the group that pioneered the practice of requiring living
wages and community hiring. Such measures are intended to accomplish indirectly and, at times,
ingeniously what the federal government could accomplish directly, say, by raising the minimum wage,
rewriting labor law, establishing stronger environmental safeguards, or legalizing undocumented
immigrants. In the absence of such national legislation, cities are doing what they can.
The fiscal constraints to which Peduto alluded, though, are real. New York’s de Blasio had to secure the
funding that establishes pre-K education in his city from the state—a revenue stream the city doesn’t
control. Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, and Republican state senators blocked de Blasio and his
city council allies from setting a municipal minimum wage in New York City, though living expenses there
are far greater than they are in the rest of the state. A number of states have enacted laws forbidding their
cities from raising wages or passing living-wage ordinances.
Shortly after November’s city elections, President Obama invited 16 of the newly elected progressive
mayors to a meeting at the White House. Peduto, Hodges, Murray, and de Blasio were among those who
attended. Obama talked about his proposal for universal pre-K, which was languishing in Congress. At the
federal level, it would obviously take some time to get such a measure enacted, Obama continued, or he
could find 20 innovative mayors and get it done tomorrow. Provided they can scrape up the dollars.
Even within those limitations, it’s in blue states and cities—certainly not in Congress—that Obama’s
agenda is being enacted. While increasing the minimum wage remains stymied on Capitol Hill, legislatures
in Democratic states are hiking it to the level that Obama proposed, while cities have either increased
theirs even more (Washington, D.C., raised its minimum to $11.50) or are considering it (San Francisco,
like Seattle, to $15). While congressional Republicans resist legislation to combat global warming, cities are

demanding strict energy--efficiency standards in their new buildings. While Republicans oppose legalizing
undocumented immigrants, cities are ordering their police departments, in effect, to minimize
deportations.
What’s happening in cities can be described as Obama’s agenda trickling down to the jurisdictions where it
has enough political support to be enacted—but it’s also the incubation of policies and practices that will
trickle up. With considerable creativity and limited power, the new urban regimes are seeking to diminish
the inequality so apparent in cities and so pervasive nationwide. They are mapping the future of liberalism
until the day when the national government can bring it to scale.

Yup -- > The mayor’s vote totals were way down in virtually every black ward. In the West Side’s 28th
Ward, Emanuel got 40 percent of the vote, down from 60 percent four years ago. The story was the same
in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th,9th, 17th, 20th, 21st, 24th, 29th and 34th Wards.
Most of the incumbent African-American aldermen publicly endorsed Emanuel, and many of them got
financial help from the $2 million super PAC created to re-elect the mayor and bolster his City Council
majority. But it was not enough to prevent a sizeable protest vote.
Forced into runoff against Garcia, hoarse Rahm says

'We have a little bit further to go'
Posted: 02/24/2015, 07:44pm | Fran Spielman
For Rahm Emanuel, Tuesday’s mayoral election was the political equivalent of Groundhog Day: six more
weeks of campaigning.
With 97 percent of the precincts counted, Emanuel had 45.3 percent to 33.9 percent for his top challenger
Jesus “Chuy” Garcia. That’s 4.5 percent short of the 50 percent-plus-one vote that the mayor needs to
avoid an April 7 runoff against Garcia. Millionaire businessman Willie Wilson was running third with 10.5
percent, followed by Ald. Bob Fioretti (2nd) with 7.4 percent and William “Dock” Walls with 2.7 percent.
The 34 percent turnout — down from 42.5 percent four years ago — should have benefited the incumbent
with the $15 million warchest and the most sophisticated get-out-the-vote operation. But it was not
enough to spare Emanuel from the political embarrassment of a runoff and a grueling Round 2.
Despite an 11th-hour in-person endorsement from President Barack Obama that Emanuel turned into a
closing campaign commercial, Wilson got just enough of the African-American vote to deny the mayor a
second term outright.
Garcia also appeared to be doing considerably better than final polling suggested.
Emanuel addressed his supporters shortly before 9:30 p.m. and tried to put the best possible face on an
embarrassing situation.
“Thank you, Chicago. We’ve come a long way, and we have a little bit further to go,” Emanuel said.
“To those who voted for us, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those who voted for
someone else, I hope to earn your support.”
Still hoarse from a severe cold that hit him in the final days of the campaign, Emanuel congratulated Garcia
for a “good race” and called him a “good man” with whom he looks forward to debating the issues in the

weeks ahead. Then, he braced his supporters for the grueling, six-week spring ahead.
“To those who are gathered here tonight and throughout the city, you have worked hard. I want you to
take a moment to celebrate what we have accomplished over the last four years. Take stock in it, and let
us double down because, tomorrow morning, I’ll be seeing you at the L stops as I have every morning,” the
mayor said.
“We will get back out there talking to our friends and families and neighbors as they make a critical choice
about who has the strength, who has the leadership, who has the ideas to move this great city forward so
we can secure the future of this great city for our children.”
A triumphant Garcia followed the mayor to the podium, to the chants of “Chuy, Chuy.”
“So, nobody thought we’d be here tonight. They wrote us off. They said we didn’t have a chance. They said
we didn’t have any money while they spent millions attacking us. Well, we’re still standing. We’re still
running and we’re gonna win,” Garcia said.
“Today, we the people have spoken. Not the people with the money and the power and the connections.
Not the giant corporations. The big-money special interests. The hedge funds and Hollywood celebrities
who poured tens of millions of dollars into the mayor’s campaign. They all had their say. They’ve had their
say for too long. But today, the rest of us had something to say.”
Garcia said he had just gotten off the phone with Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis, who
“sends her love” and said, “Tell them this is about the new democracy.”
Lewis persuaded Garcia to run in her place after she was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Then, Garcia framed the race ahead as a classic battle between the haves and have-nots.
“We’ve got six weeks of hard work ahead of us and believe me, these big-money interests are going to
throw everything they got at us. They run this town and they’re not gonna give up easy. But we’re gonna
fight and we’re gonna work hard and we’re gonna win. We’re gonna keep this city together,” he said.
Garcia’s campaign manager, Andrew Sharp, added, “There’s a real hunger for change in Chicago. There are
tens of thousands of voters in Chicago who came out today and voted for change. The city is not working
for ordinary people,” Sharp said.
Asked how Garcia could be outspent 12-to-1 and still force a runoff, Sharp said, “In the words of the
Beatles, ‘Money can’t buy you love.’’
If there was any doubt Emanuel’s decision to close a record,50 public schools had alienated black voters, it
was erased by the ward-by-ward vote totals.
The mayor’s vote totals were way down in virtually every black ward. In the West Side’s 28th Ward,
Emanuel got 40 percent of the vote, down from 60 percent four years ago. The story was the same in the
3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th,9th, 17th, 20th, 21st, 24th, 29th and 34th Wards.
Most of the incumbent African-American aldermen publicly endorsed Emanuel, and many of them got
financial help from the $2 million super PAC created to re-elect the mayor and bolster his City Council

majority. But it was not enough to prevent a sizeable protest vote.
Emanuel’s political beating was capped off by the fact that one incumbent alderman was defeated outright
and nine others backed by the mayor’s super PAC were forced into runoffs. Even Patrick Daley Thompson,
the nephew of Emanuel’s political mentor, was forced into a runoff in spite of support from Chicago
Forward.
During an animated impromptu press conference, Frank Avila Jr., an attorney for Willie Wilson, claimed
credit for the mayoral runoff.
“Without Willie Wilson in the race, Rahm Emanuel . . . would have been re-elected tonight,” Avila shouted.
“Willie Wilson took it to Rahm Emanuel at his base with African-Americans and said Rahm was lying. At
least a portion of those African-Americans listened to us.”
Even in the 13th Ward, where powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan is the ward committeeman who
worked hard for Emanuel, the mayor got just 50.9 percent to 36.7 percent for Garcia. In the 19th Ward,
another one of the handful of strong Democratic ward organizations, Emanuel got just 41.3 percent to 36.4
percent for Garcia.
Trying to win more than 50 percent of the vote against four challengers is a tall order. It was particularly
challenging for a polarizing figure such as Rahm Emanuel.
As the campaign drew to a close, Emanuel campaign advisers were realistic about the needle they were
trying to thread.
“He got 55 percent of the vote the last time with the wind at his back,” said David Axelrod, Emanuel’s
friend of 30 years who worked together with the mayor in the Obama White House.
Even the room Emanuel booked on election night — symbolically located at Plumber’s Union Hall — lacked
the energy of the mayor’s big night in 2011.
A subdued, sparse crowd milled about more than an hour after most polls closed as John Cougar’s “Jack
and Diane” played in the background, with the words “oh yeah, life goes on,” holding a special irony.
Members of Local 1, made up of hospitality, restaurant and cafeteria workers, made up the bulk of what
was an underwhelming crowd at the close of polls inside of Rahm Emanuel campaign headquarters.
Kenneth Williams, a 33-year union member who works as a Bell Captain at the Doubletree Hotel on Ohio,
said he thinks Emanuel is the only candidate who will be willing to fight Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s
proposed budget cuts. ”He’s pretty much powerful enough, got the gumption enough, to stand up to the
governor because I feel he’s going to do some unreasonable things to the city,” Williams said. “He’s already
talking about cuts in CTA. [Rauner] seems to be coming after unions.”
Before the results were official, one supporter Ed Alexander, who lives in South Shore, still was holding out
hope for 51 percent for Emanuel.
“I’ve seen a lot of the services that he’s provided to a lot of the communities that I frequent,” Alexander
said. One is Engelwood area. I’ve seen a lot of things he’s brought to that area that are needed. Like child
care service. And he’s also brought a legal assistance program there.”

Dudley Ade Locke, a retired educator and school administrator, said he thinks Emanuel has gotten a “raw
rap” on how he’s handled schools. “Schools are underperforming,” Locke said. “They need to be closed.”
Like the election night party of fellow multimillionaire Rauner, the campaign for Wilson offered a cash bar
to supporters who gathered in a Swissotel ballroom.
Though the potency was anything but certain, at $16 per well drink the price was certainly stiff.
As early totals trickled in, Wilson fielded a steady stream of interviews and relaxed in a 31st floor hotel
room.
Regardless of the outcome, he said one thing is certain: “Win, lose or draw — I’m in politics to stay.”
Four years ago, Emanuel captured 58 percent of the black vote, 49 percent of the lakefront, one-third of
the Hispanic vote and 49 percent of the white vote overall.
This time, the closest thing Emanuel had to a political base was the lakefront. There, he was hoping to
reach the high-50s. If he did that, got half the black vote, hit the mid 50s among white voters and took a
35 percent bite out of Garcia’s Hispanic base, the mayor’s forces believed Emanuel could have avoided a
run-off.
But the backlash against Emanuel’s decision to close a record 50 public schools apparently made holding
half the African-American vote a tall order, in spite of Obama’s verbal and physical embrace.
Wilson spent more than $2 million of his personal fortune, much of it in television advertising and full-page
newspaper ads that ran in the closing days of the campaign.
By drawing a protest vote in the double-digits, Wilson made it impossible for Emanuel to reach the magic,
50 percent-plus-one. Garcia’s vow to deliver on Emanuel’s broken promise to hire 1,000 additional police
officers obviously resonated and denied Emanuel even more votes.
A year ago, the mayor’s race was shaping up to be a far different story.
A Chicago Sun-Times poll showed Emanuel’s approval rating at 29 percent and just 8 percent among
blacks.
But as vulnerable as Emanuel appeared to be, County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, the mayoral
challenger that City Hall feared most, took a pass on the race, and so did other big-name challengers.
That prompted Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis to step up to the plate. She had already
gotten the best of Emanuel during the 2012 teachers strike instigated by the mayor’s bullying missteps.
She had the guts to take him on again.
What would have been a colorful, but divisive, campaign came to a crashing halt in November. Lewis was
diagnosed with brain cancer. After emergency surgery to remove a malignant brain tumor, she bowed out
and worked behind the scenes to persuade Garcia to pick up the mantle.
With a late start and a lower profile, Garcia was only able to raise $1.3 million. Emanuel raked in $15
million and outspent his No. 2 challenger more than 12-to-1.

Emanuel’s legendary fundraising was helped enormously by a longshot mayoral hopeful who donated
$100,000 to himself, but ultimately decided not to run. That lifted state-imposed caps on campaign
contributions and allowed Emanuel to go back to the same deep-pocket donors who had already maxed
out.
During campaign debates, the nexus between Emanuel’s heavy-hitting donors and the mayor’s public
appearances and official actions took center stage.
Fioretti pounced when asked about a Chicago Tribune investigation that concluded that half of Emanuel’s
top 100 donors have received City Hall benefits ranging from contracts and permits to appointments and
personal endorsements.
“$30 million, then all of these board appointments and look at those top 103 [donors]. Sixty of ’em
received some kind of contract, some kind of benefit. If that’s not pay-to-play, I don’t know what is,”
Fioretti said then.
Emanuel countered that the millions he’s raised has not stopped him from standing up to big business.
During a pre-election interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Emanuel said there is no quid pro quo or pay
to play.
“I’ve taken on supporters. Their support for me is not about this permit or this license or this zoning. This is
about creating stability, managing the challenges the city faces and doing it with a sense of strength and
leadership,” Emanuel said.
“They’re not getting anything. They don’t support what I’ve done on the minimum wage. They don’t
support how I’ve cracked down on the housing piece and how I changed the way we do affordable
housing. Did I not say to all the corporations that buy the skyboxes, `You’re not getting your little loophole
anymore on the amusement tax?’”
Asked why he needs $15 million to get re-elected when his two strongest challengers didn’t run, Emanuel
said, “Like I did for President Clinton and President Obama, I want people to know what we’ve done and
what I’m going to do. I think that’s what campaigns are about.”
The mayor used the money to blanket the airwaves with slick campaign commercials to rehabilitate his
image, particularly with African-American voters angered by the school closings, charter openings, rampant
shootings and by Emanuel’s top-down management style. When Garcia went negative, Emanuel retaliated.
The ads featured African-Americans and emphasized the biggest moves Emanuel made to undercut the
progressive base of his strongest challengers: raising Chicago’s minimum wage to $13 an hour by 2019 and
offering free City Colleges tuition to CPS students who maintain a “B” average.
The mayor also got an 11th-hour boost from the $2 million super PAC created to re-elect Emanuel and
strengthen his City Council majority.
Barred by law from coordinating with the Emanuel campaign, Chicago Forward made a $450,000
commercial and cable television buy on the mayor’s behalf and spent another $35,000 on robo-calls for
Emanuel as the campaign drew to a close.

Chicago Forward’s 30-second spot described Emanuel as “a mayor as strong as Chicago,” then trashed
Garcia for casting a 1980s vote for the “biggest property tax increase in city history” and for claiming an
“illegal” homeowners exemption on “two houses at the same time to avoid paying over $8,000 in taxes.”
The ad concluded with a kicker: “Chuy Garcia: Out for himself. Not us.”
Garcia was livid. He said the $8,500 in back taxes he owed the county was for a tax break he did not
request and had no idea still applied to his parents’ Southwest Side home when he inherited the property
after his mother died.
He defended his 1980s City Council vote — for a property tax increase that was actually the second-largest
in Chicago history — as an effort to stave off 11,000 layoffs, including 5,000 police officers.
Garcia noted that Emanuel has been “on TV since Thanksgiving and it’s the least successful Rahm-com
ever.”
Becky Carroll, the longtime mayoral ally now serving as chairman and CEO of “Chicago Forward,” didn’t buy
Garcia’s argument that his “tough vote” for an $80 million property tax hike staved off thousands of
layoffs.
“No one was ever prepared to lay off 11,000 workers. Mayor Harold Washington’s own staff admitted
privately that the cuts were only a bluff and they would never have been carried out,” Carroll said.
“Garcia is willing to do and say anything to distance himself from the fact that he voted for the largest
property tax hike in city history, just as he was willing to do anything to pass it.”
Emanuel himself proposed a five-year, $250 million property tax increase to shore up two of four city
employee pension funds before substituting a 56 percent increase in the monthly tax tacked on to
telephone bills at the behest of former Gov. Pat Quinn.
All of those issues and more are certain to be replayed in a grueling Round 2.
Among those in the crowd at Emanuel’s party was the iconic Ronnie “Woo-Woo,” who was wearing his
trademark Cubs uniform.
After Emanuel’s remarks concluded, he turned and said: “So they gotta do all this again?”

Hi. Some background for speechwriters. When do you expect to get the next draft?

STEM Institutes
Goal:
x Incorporate high quality STEM programs in full-time curriculum
Background:
x Individual schools have created innovative STEM programs and initiatives, but there is no way to
share these programs across the system or give all schools guidance on how to incorporate
STEM
x This is particularly challenging for girls and minorities underrepresented in STEM fields
Announcement:
x For the first time, DOE will be hosting 3 STEM institutes for teachers citywide, across grade
levels, to share practices and work directly with experienced STEM partner organizations (Solar
One, Engineering is Elementary, Bootstrap, LEGO and others)
o First institute in April (April 7-9 at Stuyvesant HS). Up to 300 teachers will participate
o Second institute will be this summer; third will be spring of 2016
x Through this program, DOE will partner with non-profits, universities and corporations who have
the expertise and capacity in STEM to support our teachers and students
x Funded in partnership with GE, which will also provide overall guidance and input into program
x Institutes will help DOE create tools (e.g., STEM Framework, Handbook for Professional
Learning, etc.) to support schools in developing STEM programs and help build a mission and
vision for STEM education in NYC, a key priority for the Chancellor
x Institutes will reach 600 – 800 teachers from 200 – 300 schools with 100K-150K students over
the next 2 years.
x Overall, the work will impact all students and schools by helping schools understand and
develop high quality STEM programs
Industry Partnerships:
• Goal is to align the city’s economic development strategy with our Workforce Development
programs, and make long-term investments in the skills and training to create upward income
mobility in the sectors we are supporting through our capital, incentive and land-use policies.
• We will form partnerships with industry to ensure our workforce system is equipping people
with the skills businesses need and improve quality of low-wage occupations
• Focus on six sectors:
o health care and technology- high growth, higher wage
o Industrial manufacturing and construction – offer relatively high income while not
requiring high educational attainment
o Retail and food service – robust job growth, but low wage, few benefits and limited
stability

*Quality Home Care Workforce Program – example of industry partnership
Goal:
x Raise quality of home health aide (HHA) jobs, as well as improve retention and the quality of
patient care, by improving the quality of training for new HHAs
Background:
x Approximately 1 in 7 low-wage workers is a home care worker
x The NYS Department of Labor estimated the number of HHA jobs to grow by 48% between 2010
and 2020 in New York City, with close to 5,000 openings a year
x Training, supervision, and scheduling practices often create a poor working environment and
low income
x Annual turnover for HHAs is 25-50% in New York City, and often aides don’t make it past the
first couple months.
x Hours can be insufficient and variable, and communication around scheduling can be a
challenge.
Announcement:
x Through SBS and New York Alliance for Careers in Healthcare, in partnership with
Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute and 1199SEIU Training and Employment Funds, we are
launching the Quality Home Care Workforce Pilot
x Program supports the City's Career Pathways strategy of building the skills employers seek and
improving job quality for low income workers.
x Program will improve training, supervision, and scheduling practices, as well as offer financial
counseling, which will lead to higher quality jobs, higher quality service, and more efficient
operations
x Over the next six months:
o 240 unemployed individuals will be trained as Home Health Aides using an enhanced
curriculum that was industry informed
o Another 240 individuals will be trained by CUNY using this same curriculum and
committed employer partners
o 240 current Home Health Aides will receive financial literacy counseling
o Approximately 1,000 currently employed Home Health Aides will benefit from agency
supervisory and scheduling training, depending on the size of the participating home
care employers
x As a result, in Year 1 of the pilot program, 720 individuals will be impacted directly through
training, with over a thousand low income workers impacted through supervisory and
scheduling training.
Hunts Point:
Goal:
• Reposition Hunts Point as a modern, resilient food distribution center that promotes local
entrepreneurship and job growth in the South Bronx

Background:
• Hunts Point is one of the largest food distribution centers in the world, occupying 329 acres,
housing more than 115 firms, and directly employing over 8,000 people
• Opportunity to leverage city-owned assets to strengthen existing businesses and attract new
entrepreneurs
Announcement
• Investing $150mm for infrastructure and other market improvements
• Investment is in addition to the $25mm announced at the end of last year for critical
infrastructure
• Combined, these investments are more than what the City invested in last 12 years ($169mm)
• Investments will improve existing facilities, reposition portions of the peninsula for job-intensive
food uses, better link regional growers and producers with New York City consumers and target
job-dense businesses like value-add processors
• Will create over 400 jobs while making the Food Distribution Center more sustainable and
resilient, lowering operating costs for all businesses and improving multi-model access
Industrial Initiatives:
Goal
x Encourage public and private investments in the industrial sector to catalyze innovation, support
businesses, and train our workforce for 21st century jobs.
Background
x The industrial sector employs 540,000 people across NYC (15.7% of total workforce, 10.7% of
Gross City Product)
x Median Wage: $56k; Average wage: $73k
The industrial sector offers opportunities for a diverse workforce
x Approximately 50% of industrial sector jobs are available to individuals who do not have college
degrees
x Median wage for non-college educated workers is $30k (50% higher than wages in other low-
skilled sectors such as accommodation, food services, and retail)
x Over 300,000 jobs in outer boroughs, primarily in Industrial Business Zones
NYC is well positioned for Manufacturing 2.0

x BLS projections show industrial jobs will grow by 3-7% over the next 10 years in NYC
x $50 billion of goods production expected to return to U.S. by 2020
x NYC growth sectors in high-end goods/services
o Food manufacturing, fabrication, digital production
o Small tech-driven firms with links to traditional NYC industries
o Bright talent pool – over 12,000 graduates per year in engineering, design, architecture,
etc.
Announcements:
x Innovative Manufacturing Centers

o Develop a network of specialized technology facilities and programs to equip NYC
residents and businesses:
Technologies for digital manufacturing, fabrication, and robotics.
R&D facilities for researchers (e.g. Samsung Smart Things Innovations Lab)
Workspace for start-ups (e.g. WeWork)
Fabrication lab with extension services for mature manufacturers (e.g.
TechShop)
Training and certification program (e.g. National Institute for Metalworking
credentialing)
Classrooms and events space for community engagement (e.g. Make @NYPL)
x Industrial Business Solutions Providers

o Relaunch a NYC branded network of Industrial Business Solutions Providers (IBSPs) to be
the City’s direct link to industrial businesses.
Ensure increased and consistent funding for IBSP network ($2.5M per year)
Create stronger communication, marketing, and feedback pathways between
businesses and the City
Deliver customized support for business strategy, process improvement,
technology upgrades, financial management, and space efficiency

Hi, Liz.
I just spoke with Penny about her lunch with John, and she suggested The Smith at 956 2nd Ave (at
51 st St). Would that work well for John? If not, I’m happy to find another place.
Thanks again,

Hi Matt,
Sorry, it seems like my email from last week did not go through.
John could make 3/3, 3/6 or just about any day the week of 3/9. Let me know when might work best for
Penny and we’ll add to the calendar.
Thanks!
Liz

Subject: Request for lunch with Penny
Hi, Liz.
I’m writing to see if we might be able to schedule a time for Penny and John to meet over lunch.
Penny’s lunchtimes are pretty much open starting on the 26 th (not 3/4, 3/13) so would you let me
know a couple days that work well for John?
Thanks again!
Matt

Hi,
Here is more info. on the TTP Queens College Internship Program based on my discussion with
Kristen (copied in case I am missing or mischaracterizing anything here).
Queens Program Overview

- TTP partnership with Queens College will provide (i) pre-professional programming (details
TBD based on participant needs assessment) and (ii) paid technology internships with local
employers. Private sector partners TBD and training service provider TBD.
- Program will serve between 75 and 100 upper level students (juniors/seniors focused on
tech), total across 3 cohorts.
- TTP will provide funding directly to Queens College, which will select and administer
program through a third-party provider.
- TIMING: TTP is working with Queens College to finalize contract ASAP and will determine
whether March 5th completion is possible by cob tomorrow.
Geographic Angle
- TTP is focused on partnering with educational institutions to source and cultivate tech talent
- Queens will be the third borough to forge a strong partnership between City and CUNY for
tech talent efforts, following Brooklyn Tech Triangle (CUNY in Brooklyn) and Microsoft +
Infor tech training commitments (CUNY in Manhattan).
- The long-term goal is to reach CUNY/higher ed institutions in Staten Island and the Bronx,
however there are no concrete partnerships with these institutions underway at this time.
Thanks!

ABNY OUTLINE
2/25/15 – 6:00 PM
Acknowledgements
17 months ago, I was honored to address an event hosted by this distinguished

organization -- just about a month before the 2013 mayoral election.
receive me.
progressive ideas would be met with the sound of crickets -- or perhaps worse –
when presented to those who’ve dedicated their lives to growing businesses and the
economy.
That’s because this organization understands – as do I – that rising inequality isn’t

just a problem for those of modest means….not just a threat to those barely hanging
on to their place in the middle class. We understand that inequality is a crisis that
impacts all of us -- including those who have enjoyed great personal success.
If New York can’t be a city of genuine opportunity for all – regardless of the
circumstances of your birth – we not only lose a part of who we are…we risk losing
our place as a global center of innovation, diversity, and progress.
That is why we refuse to accept the false choices that that for too long defined how
some viewed our city:
That sustained economic growth is fated to only help SOME, while leaving
many behind;
That more development inevitably means everyday New Yorkers will be

priced out;
That New York can’t be both a growing city AND a city of opportunity for all.

We know that shortsighted thinking doesn’t have to define our future.
A progressive agenda – one that seeks to reduce the cost of living for working
families, as well as boost their wages – isn’t in conflict with a thriving economy. In
fact, it can and MUST be the foundation for a lasting, growing economy.
Take a look at 2014.
Last year, New York saw:
95,900 jobs added in 2014 – the highest year-to-date growth rate in the past
20 years;
More than four million private sector jobs – an all-time high;
An unemployment rate down two whole points in less than a year – steepest
decline since reporting began in 1976; (this is inaccurate – NYC
unemployment rate in Dec 2013 was 8% and, by December 2014, it was
6.3%)
The expansion of an entertainment industry that produced a record 40

unique television series and over 240 films right here in New York last year;
And the continued growth of a booming tech sector that now employs nearly
300,000 people.
Our city is growing, both in terms of our economy and the number of people who
want to call New York home. By 2040, we will be a city of 9 million people.
So we remain focused on a critical challenge: growing our economy in a way that is

broad-based and guided by expanding opportunity to every New Yorker – because
the best and brightest come from every neighborhood in every borough. And if
families can’t afford to stay in the city, we are ALL denied the contributions made by
those unrealized success stories.
Now, there are two sides to the affordability equation: finding more affordable
places for families to live; and helping grow New Yorkers’ pocketbooks (higher
wages; better benefits; more programs to ease the squeeze that so many families
feel).
In the State of the City, we talked about our affordable housing plan: the boldest
municipal affordable housing plan in U.S. history.

For the first time ever, a REQUIREMENT of affordable housing as a

CONDITION of new development;
Protecting and strengthening rent regulations in to protect the make sure

units that are currently affordable STAY that way;
This adds up to 200,000 new units of affordable housing created or

preserved over a decade, with units created and preservedbuilt at more than
double the average annual rate of any time in of the last 25 years.
And we’re committed to the things besides affordable housing that make
neighborhoods livable: good schools, parks, playgrounds and other open
spaces, new commercial development.
Finally, we’re taking unprecedented steps to crack down on predatory

landlords who want only to make a quick buck at the expense of their
tenants’ well-being… and our city’s affordability.
Making housing in New York more affordable is essential to keeping ours a city of
So make no mistake, this administration will vigorously execute our affordable

housing plan as long as I am Mayor.
That is why we’re also working to grow our economy…to expand new job
opportunities, and drive wages in our city UP.

growth that benefits ALL New Yorkers, not just those at the top.
The partnership of the people in this room is critical to making New York a stronger,
fairer city for all who call it home. It is also critical to keeping New Yorker a growing
city defined by openness and innovation -- in other words, a special place to start or
grow a business.
Our City will do its part -- first, by investing in our people so that businesses don’t
need to look far to find the most skilled, best qualified workers in the world.
Specifically:

We’re starting early with more than 53K students enrolled in pre-K last year,
and another 15K this year (we need to match what we said in Albany budget
testimony, which was “approximately 70,000 children in year two”)… Nearly
dDoubling the number of middle school students in afterschool programs to
keep them safe and learning – and giving working parents peace of mind
during those hours between the end of the school day and the workday.
We’re on the cutting edge – with the Tech Talent Pipeline to support the
growth of New York’s technology sector and train New Yorkers to be those
companies' premier hiring choice. This program will not only enable the
next great tech innovations to come from New York, but ensure they are
driven by New Yorkers from every background and every borough.
We’re thinking big – by moving forward with a plan to redesign our

workforce development system to arm up to 30,000 New Yorkers a year with
the skills for 21st century jobs. FROM SOTC – SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC
WE CAN SAY??
And we’re looking to the future: the DOE will incorporate high-quality
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math or STEM programs into the full-
time curriculum. The City will be hosting 3 STEM institutes for teachers
citywide, across grade levels, to share practices and work directly with
experienced STEM partner organizations (Solar One, Engineering is
Elementary, Bootstrap, LEGO and others). The first institute will be in April
at Stuyvesant HS; up to 300 NYC public school teachers will participate.
And the City will also do its part by making significant investments in our city’s
infrastructure, so that businesses have the physical prerequisites for growth. This
City gets how important infrastructure is to economic growth, and we’re putting our
money where our my mouth is:
We invested in new economic hubs to create 3,000 new jobs in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and 1,000 new jobs at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. These are PERMANENT
jobs in areas of the city that for so long sat unused. They exemplify smart, inclusive
growth, in developing places that had sat largely unused for decades.
Today I want to announce a new proposed reinvestment project based on that same
philosophy.
Hunts Point is a critical food distribution hub in the Bronx near the RFK Bridge. This
site is large, occupying 329 acres and supporting 115 individual businessesprivate
wholesalers that employ over 8,000 people.
The buildings that currently sit in this space are crumbling. If we do nothing,
facilities at this site will eventually be forced to shut down, thousands of jobs will be
lost, and our city’s infrastructure will be dealt a major blow.

Our plan would invest $169 million over 12 years to revitalize the site so that it
grows rather than decays.
These investments will repair existing facilities, reposition portions of the peninsula
for job-intensive food uses, and better link regional growers and producers with
New York City consumers. They will also preserve thousands of jobs in the South
Bronx, and create hundreds more new ones.
Our plan would fortify a vital aspect of our infrastructure – our food supply – in a
way that is sustainable, improving New York’s resilience in the face of natural
disasters like Super-Storm Sandy.
It would strengthen our city’s critical partnership with upstate communities, farms
and businesses, recognizing that rooftop farms in Greenpoint can’t feed EVERY New
Yorker.
And coupled with plans for new, affordable housing development on the South
Bronx waterfront, this plan shows that when we talk about growth in every
neighborhood and every borough, we mean it.
This is just one example of the type of infrastructure improvements we will be

undertaking. Some projects will require partnerships, as well. In coming months,
we’re going to talk about big infrastructure projects that will necessitate federal
help.
But I want get back to talking about the partnership that this city seeks to
strengthen with you.
I’ve talked about how New York City will do OUR part to tackle our inequality crisis,
I want to call on you do YOURS.
If New York City because a fundamentally unaffordable place… one where the best
and brightest can’t afford to stay… no one will suffer more than the business
community.
That’s one reason why so many business leaders I talk to favor raising the minimum
wage.
Now, there are SOME people who say that a more than $13 minimum wage in New
York City is a “non-starter.” But let me tell you what’s REALLY a non-starter: for
New York to sit idle and watch our city become a place where only the super-rich
can afford to live.
Raising the minimum wage won’t make everyone in the city wealthier overnight, but
it would have a powerful upward pull on wages across the city, including for those

who make more than the minimum. This means more money for New Yorkers to
spend, growing local businesses, and our city economy.
If you’re in the business of selling multimillion dollar homes to foreign billionaires,

or manufacturing yachts or Faberge eggs, then a raise in the minimum wage
probably won’t help you. But given the stock market’s record rebound, business is
probably awful good for you these days.
On the other hand, if your business relies on consumer spending in New York City,
this should be something you fight for.
So I’m calling on all of you here today to fight – FIGHT – for Albany to raise the City
minimum wage to over $13 an hour…. and to locally index it so that it rises to a
projected $15 by 2019.
Let those of us in this room – and millions of new Yorkers across our city – speak to
Albany with one voice. We don’t want a symbolic gesture. We won’t accept half a
loaf. We need a higher, indexed minimum wage, and we need it now!
And we can’t talk about keeping New York open and affordable without talking
about housing, which is why I am calling on all of you to be allies as we push for our
affordable housing plan, both in our city and in Albany.
That means forcefully advocating for strengthening our rent regulations that keep
people from being priced out of our city…. And for keeping MTA fares low because
transit fare increases are tantamount to an enormously regressive tax increase.
(don’t believe this last line accurately reflects BdB’s position; he’s not fully against a
transit fare increase; he simply believes that riders can’t bear the burden for MTA’s
shortfall on their own – state and federal govt need to step up)
This partnership also means dealing head on with some of the negative
consequences of gentrification. The business community has self-interested
incentive to condemn anyone who games the system to get rich off of making
neighborhoods less affordable.
These people – be they predatory landlords or unscrupulous real estate operations –

would mortgage the future of our city for small short-term profits. We need your
help to stop them from getting away with it.
Our work to tackle our inequality crisis and keep New York and open innovative
place won’t be easy, but there is so much we can do on our own as a city, if we – this
Administration, the people in this room and everyday New Yorkers across our City –
all work together.
PERSONAL SMALL BUSINESS/ ABNY STORY HERE.

The imagination, enthusiasm, and grit of the people who call this city home are so
wonderfully exemplified in this room. But we must not forget how much of your
success has grown from the fertile ground of a city of opportunity – and that your
continued success requires that every child of New York has the same shot at
chasing her dreams as you did.
So today, let’s recommit to making our city a place of opportunity and innovation,
not one of cloistered opulence.

New Yorkers have done: leave our city more open, inclusive, and inspiring than we
found it.
It’s a big job, but the stories of the people in this room demonstrate that it is a task
well worth undertaking. And we will do it together.
Thank you!

NPR's policy is to not make internal edits to interviews with sitting presidents. But as with all
StoryCorps conversations, and just as when President George W. Bushrecorded in 2008, this
one has been edited for length.

Tried to bring out my inner-Wilmore. Here's a start:
Race
1. Knowing what you know now, would you

have still made that tv ad with Dante?
2. Would you still say Black Lives Matter?
3. Would you still have been BFFs with
Sharpton?
4. Would you admit hiring Shaprton’s person
maybe not the best idea for your administration?
5. I saw you all buddy-buddy with one of the
guys saying you have blood on your hands,…did you ever just want to say,
“fuck you?”
6. They went after your wife pretty bad. If
you could punch one of these guys – would it be the head of the police union or
Rupert Murdoch?
7. Do you sometimes wish your children were
white so their lives would be easier?
8. Dante has a whole security team. Do you
really still think he’s not safe?
9. Do you think the attacks on your wife have
been racist?
10. What was going through your mind when
the police turned their backs on you?
11. What’s it like being a white man raising
children of color?
12. Have you smoked pot at Gracie? Any

arrests we don’t know about?
Politics
1. Do you think Hillary Clinton will be

President?
2. Who do you think her toughest challenger
will be?
3. What do you think her toughest challenge
will be?
4. Does she have your backing? Why or why
not?
5. Would you vote for her or Warren?
6. Who do you think will focus the most on
income inequality?
7. Do you think Obama’s been a good
president?
8. Has he kept his word to the American
people?
9. Do you think Hillary would be a better
president than him?
10. Do you think you are blacker than Bill
Clinton?

What are your thoughts on a video for Inner Circle featuring you and the Gov to the tune of
“Anything you can do, I can do better?”
Would be a few short clips of both of you in your office doing random things – think bouncing a ball
on a paddle, dribbling a soccer ball, balancing a spoon on your nose, etc (we can make it more
dignified). Would have the editing feel of the Buscemi video from last year with the song in the
background.
This could be a fun little thing that goes a long way.
Team is for. Thoughts?

Hi Rebecca,
Are you familiar with Robert Smigel’s autism education benefit, Night of Too Many Stars? I have
also been working on that, and we taped a big show at the Beacon Theatre just this past Saturday
night. You may have read some of the press about it – the show was hilarious, and also touching.
There is a second part to the show, and that is a celebrity phone bank that will air LIVE on Comedy
Central this Sunday night from 8 – 10pm. Jon Stewart is host, and it will take place in the Daily
Show studio.
Here’s a link to Night of Too Many Stars on the Comedy Central web site.
http://www.cc.com/shows/night-of-too-many-stars
I was talking to Robert Smigel last night, and he asked me if I could reach out to the Mayor to see if
he might want to briefly drop by the phone bank. We’d figure out something fun to do with him.
Some of the other people who will be there include Larry David, Martin Short, Larry Wilmore, John
Oliver, the ladies from Broad City, Susan Sarandon, Uzo Aduba, and several of the Daily Show
correspondents, plus many more.
Robert and his wife have a 17-year-old son who has fairly severe autism, hence his drive to put this
show together every other year.
The show is always a tremendous amount of fun, and it raises money for autism education programs
nationwide.

Let me know if he can make it.
Thanks!
Best,
Hillary

Thanks,

For too long, our City has focused a half a billion dollar training and
workforce development budget on initiatives that led to temporary, low
paying jobs that offered only superficial opportunity. Over the past few
years, less than 10% of our workforce development investment has gone
into skills training. We’re increasing that, FOUR-FOLD.
We’re moving forward with a plan to redesign our Career Pathways

system to arm up to 30,000 New Yorkers annually with the skills they need
for quality, stable jobs of today and tomorrow. That’s more than TRIPLE
the number of New Yorkers who currently receive this type of training.

“More than double what it had been” isn’t accurate in this context. It’s accurate to say
that the Mayor’s 2015 budget doubled HPD’s 5-year budget compared to what was
previously budgeted for those same years by the Bloomberg Administration. However,
the $8.2 billion City Capital budget for Housing New York is 55% more (not double)
than the total City Capital budget for the Bloomberg-Era New Housing Marketplace
Plan.
Also, we expect our leverage ratio to be somewhat lower than the New Housing
Marketplace Plan (3x vs 2.48x) because we are financing more costly units (deeper
affordability; more new construction).
So back to the drawing board.

Hi John,
Here are the facts on the Housing New York budget:

• The Mayor’s 2015 budget (e.g. the five-year plan) more than
doubled HPD’s annual capital budget
• The total projected City Capital over ten years will be $8.2 billion
(FY15 to FY25)
• This City Capital will leverage private sources on a 3 to 1 basis
• Total development costs for preserving and creating 200,000
units will be $41.4 billion
Let me know if you have questions.

ABNY SPEECH
3/4/15 – 6:30PM
Acknowledgements
17 months ago, I was honored to address an event hosted by this organization -- just
about a month before the 2013 mayoral election.
receive me.
progressive ideas would be met with the sound of crickets – or perhaps worse –
when presented to those who have dedicated their lives to growing businesses and
the economy.
That’s because ABNY understands – as do I – that rising inequality isn’t just a

problem for those of modest means… not just a threat to those barely hanging on to
their place in the middle class. You and I understand that inequality is a crisis that
impacts ALL of us -- including those who have enjoyed great personal success.
If New York cannot be a city of genuine opportunity for ALL – regardless of the
circumstances of their birth – then we not only lose a part of who we are – we risk
losing our place as a global center of innovation, diversity, and progress.
That is why we REFUSE to accept the false choices that for too long have defined the
way that some have viewed our city:
That sustained economic growth is fated to only help SOME, while leaving so
many behind;
That more development inevitably means that everyday New Yorkers will be
priced out;
That New York cannot be both a growing city AND a city of opportunity for
all.

We know that sort of myopic thinking should not, and will not, define our future.
families, as well as boost their wages – is not in conflict with fostering a thriving
economy. In fact, it can and MUST be the foundation for a sustainable, growing
economy.
We’ve just begun to implement our agenda, but if 2014 is any indication, policies
promoting fairness and equality are doing anything but precluding economic
growth.
Just take a look at the good news from last year.
95,900 jobs added;
An unemployment rate down nearly two points in less than a year – with the
third quarter experiencing the largest three-month drop in unemployment
on record;

television series and over 240 films right here in New York;
300,000 people.
Our city is growing, both in terms of our economy, and the number of people who
And so we remain focused on a critical challenge: growing our economy in a way

that is broad-based and guided by expanding opportunity for every New Yorker. We
know that the best and brightest come from every neighborhood in every borough –
and those with the grit and determination to succeed come from all walks of life. So
if families can’t afford to stay in our city, then we are ALL denied the contributions
offered by those unrealized success stories.
places for families to live; and helping grow New Yorkers’ incomes -- through
higher wages, better benefits, and more steps to reduce the squeeze that so many of
our families feel.
In the State of the City, I talked about my Administration’s affordable housing plan:
the boldest municipal affordable housing plan in U.S. history.


CONDITION of new development resulting from rezoning;
Fighting to protect and strengthen rent regulations to ensure that housing

units that are currently affordable will STAY that way;
And dedicating $36 million to protecting tenants from harassment and

cracking down on predatory landlords – the minority of landlords who want
only to make a quick buck at the expense of their tenants’ well-being…at the
expense of our city’s affordability.
We’re more effectively leveraging private capital with our enormous $8.2
billion investment – over 50% more than what it had been – to produce more
units for a broader range of New Yorkers.
All of that adds up to 200,000 units of affordable housing created or

preserved over a decade…units built at DOUBLE the average annual rate of
the last 25 years.
Additionally, we’re catalyzing 160,000 new market rate units to help housing
supply keep up with a growing population.
And as we re-zone to add more housing capacity, we are committed to

making concurrent investments in infrastructure, so that communities don’t
have to wait years for new schools, parks, playgrounds and other open
spaces. These are hallmarks of responsible development… and priorities to
this Administration.
Making housing in New York more affordable is critical to keeping this a city of
That is why we are also working to GROW our economy…to expand new job

growth that benefits ALL New Yorkers -- NOT just those at the top.
fairer city for ALL who call it home. It is critical to keeping New Yorker a city
defined by openness and innovation -- a special place to start or grow a business.

Our city will do ITS part -- first, by investing in our people, so that businesses don’t
need to look far and wide to find the most skilled, best qualified workers in the
world.
Specifically:
We’re starting early with more than 53,000 students enrolled in pre-K LAST year –
this year it will be available to EVERY family that wants it.
And we are more than DOUBLING the number of middle school students in
afterschool, to keep them safe and on task, giving working parents peace of mind
during those critical hours between the end of the school day and the end of the
work day.
And our commitment to making New York a place where EVERYONE is prepared for
opportunity goes much further.
We are making a $29 million investment to expand academic intervention and STEM
at CUNY community colleges, because an education granting the knowhow needed
for 21st century jobs ought to be available to EVERYONE in New York City.
For too long, our City has focused a half a billion dollar training and workforce
development budget on initiatives that led to temporary, low paying jobs that
offered only superficial opportunity. Over the past few years, less than 10% of our
workforce development investment has gone into skills training. We’re increasing
that amount, THREE-FOLD.
We’re moving forward with a plan to redesign our Career Pathways system to arm
up to 30,000 New Yorkers annually with the skills they need for quality, stable jobs
of today and tomorrow. That’s more than TRIPLE the number of New Yorkers who
currently receive this type of training.
We’re working with companies across many industries – from health care to
construction – and we recognize that each industry has different needs. In some
industries, we need to make sure that new jobs mean better wages and benefits for
workers. Other industries -- like technology -- are growing rapidly, but are in need
of space…and especially talent.
That’s why we created the Tech Talent Pipeline: to support the growth of New
York’s booming technology sector, AND training New Yorkers to be those
companies' premier new hires. 3,000 New Yorkers will benefit from our action THIS
year. Not sometime in the distant future -- THIS YEAR.

Another example: modern manufacturing…. New businesses that utilize technology
and the ingenuity of New Yorkers from every borough to quickly turn exciting ideas
into tangible products, regardless of their scale. It means using technologies like 3-
D printers that are revolutionizing production so that great ideas can come to life
right here, right now in New York City. It’s a SECTOR that offers opportunities for a
diverse workforce, and is critical to our future.
We’ll partner with modern manufacturing companies to make sure that our training
initiatives are offering New Yorkers the skills needed in this industry. We’re also
securing commitments from businesses to HIRE New Yorkers who complete this
training.
The City will also do its part by making significant investments in the built
environment so that businesses have the physical prerequisites for growth. New
York City understands how important infrastructure is to economic growth, and
that is why we are putting our money where our mouth is.
We’re investing in City-owned assets so that innovative businesses can grow.
Brooklyn Navy Yard is a $140 million redevelopment project that will transform a
previously underutilized warehouse space into a modern manufacturing facility that
will create 3,000 good jobs. Because of our investment, a cold, empty space is
becoming a hub of opportunity, filled with exciting, creative businesses…. And with
job training opportunities ON SITE to ensure new opportunities here are open to
EVERY New Yorker.
We’re taking what works at the Navy Yard – capital investment, job training, and a
bold approach and applying it to the Brooklyn Army Terminal, where we’re opening
half a million square feet for modern manufacturing businesses. This means 1,000
new jobs…. PERMANENT jobs representing smart, inclusive growth, in space that
was unused for decades.
Today, I want to announce a new project based upon that same philosophy – Hunts
Point, a key food distribution hub in the South Bronx.
Our plan will invest $150 million over 12 years to revitalize Hunts Point -- fortifying
a vital aspect of our infrastructure – our food supply.
It will modernize the buildings and infrastructure that are currently there, and open
up new space for small businesses. More than that, it’s a bold vision and a major
financial commitment that will make the site resilient and sustainable, improving
New York’s readiness for natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy.

It’s hard to overstate how important this facility is for our city. It occupies 329 acres
and supports 115 private wholesalers that employ over 8,000 people. These are
good, decent-paying jobs for New Yorkers at every education level. Our plan
protects those jobs and positions the site to create many more jobs for New Yorkers
in the future.
And it will include dedicated space to better link food grown and produced in
Upstate New York, strengthening our city’s critical partnership with Upstate
communities, farms, and businesses. I know there are many great rooftop farms in
Greenpoint… but we all understand that they can’t provide enough food for EVERY
New Yorker. Strengthening our Upstate partnerships is CRITICAL.

undertaking. Some projects will require partnerships. In the coming months, we’re
going to unveil large infrastructure projects that will necessitate federal help.
But we can do so much on our own. In fact, we’re fostering the growth of whole new
INDUSTRIES. We’re doing so in ways that offer opportunities to all New Yorkers,
and opportunities for employers to tap into our world-class workforce.
We’ve talked about technology and modern manufacturing, but we’re also making
substantial strategic investments in other growth sectors like health care, and we’ll
be making announcements on these investments soon.
Now, I’ve talked about how New York City will do OUR part to tackle our inequality
crisis, I also want to call on YOU – the business leaders gathered in this room – to do
YOURS.
Let’s face it. If New York City becomes an inequitable and unaffordable place… one
where the hardest working and most ambitious -- who come from every borough --
cannot afford to stay… no one will suffer more than the business community.
New York success stories are rarely fairy tales. If New Yorkers cannot forge success
here through hard work and gumption, we will feel a profound drag on our
economy… AND on our character.
The City is making investments to ensure that doesn’t happen. We’re not just
talking about that goal; we’re dedicating our OWN balance sheet to it.
All told, this Administration will invest billions upon billions into growing our
economy. And, one way or another, all of the business leaders in this room will
benefit from that investment. Many of you will benefit magnificently… and not just
from OUR investment, but from the investment of time, energy, and sweat given by
New Yorkers working towards new skills and better careers.

The partnerships between New York City and the business community matter a
great deal to me.
So look, I’m holding up my end of the bargain…and then some. And we all know
hard working, everyday New Yorkers are holding up THEIR end.
I need you to hold up YOURS.
I pledge to you that as long as I’m Mayor, New York City will take responsibility for
developing the best possible workers, fortifying our infrastructure, improving our
transit system through citywide ferries and expanded bus rapid transit, reducing
unnecessary red tape and regulations that deter innovation, and jump-starting
growth for businesses…for whole SECTORS of our economy.
I need YOU to take responsibility for providing the great people of this city with the
opportunities… the wages… and the chances for advancement…that they need and
deserve.
That means hiring New Yorkers from EVERY neighborhood.
We are training our people so that they are the best equipped – anywhere – for the
jobs of today and tomorrow. Give them the chance to put their skills… their drive
and determination… to work for YOUR company.
It also means raising wages at YOUR company. Higher wages mean more money in
consumers’ pockets…more money to grow businesses… to grow the city’s economy.
This is something I’ve been talking to many business leaders about.
And keep in mind – companies like The Gap…like Aetna…and like New York City’s
own Shake Shack…have ALREADY raised their wages above the national minimum
wage.
They are not doing it to be charitable. They are doing it because they know that
higher wages mean more productive workers…and stronger local economies. And
I’d say business for THOSE folks… is going pretty well.
And it’s not just big businesses. UncommonGoods is an innovative retailor based
out of the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Its CEO and Founder, David Bolotsky, is an
outspoken advocate for raising workers’ wages, and pays even seasonal workers
well above the minimum wage. He puts it pretty plainly when he writes QUOTE “We
see higher productivity and lower turnover when employees are fairly
compensated.” END QUOTE

Also, let’s not forget about all of the studies that show how increasing workers’
wages has a powerful upward pull on whole economies because of increased
consumer spending.
So to that point, I am calling on major investors and lenders to use their significant
influence to invest their resources in ways that promote and grow companies that
pay good wages.
These are people who have any a huge impact on our city’s economy – and they
should use it for the good of the people of our city… and for the good of our
economy. But this is more than micro, or macroeconomics.
When you think about what you pay your employees – ALL of your employees --
think about the difference that a little more cash means for people striving to do
better. Think of the all the great success stories in this room that wouldn’t have
even been POSSIBLE if that struggle – a struggle with a singular sense of purpose –
hadn’t paid off. That idea…that promise…is at risk today. To the business leaders
here today, I want you to remember that every day…. the same way that I do as
Mayor.
Our work to tackle the inequality crisis…and keep New York an open innovative
place…won’t be easy. But there is so much we can do on our own as a city, if we –
this Administration, the people in this room, and everyday New Yorkers across our
City – all work TOGETHER.
The imagination, enthusiasm, and determination of the people who call this city
home – those qualities are shared by so many in this room.
But we must not forget how much of your success has grown from the fertile ground
of a city of opportunity – THIS City of Opportunity -- and that your CONTINUED
success requires that every child of New York – every ONE -- has the same shot at
chasing HER dreams as YOU did.
So today, let’s recommit to making our city a place not of exclusive opulence…but of

New Yorkers have done: to leave our city more open, more inclusive, and more
bountiful in opportunity than that one that we called home.
It’s a big job, but the stories – big and small – of those here, and those in every
corner of New York -- demonstrate that it is a task well worth undertaking.
And we will do it…together.
Thank you!

comparison of the projected ten-year HNY budget of $8.2 billion and the ten-year

Should be “nearly doubling”. Let’s rephrase to:
“And we are nearly doubling enrollment in after-school programs for

middle school students, to keep them safe and on task, giving working
parents peace of mind during those critical hours between the end of the
school day and the end of the work day.”

ABNY SPEECH
3/4/15 – 9:00PM
Acknowledgements
17 months ago, I was honored to address an event hosted by this organization -- just
about a month before the 2013 mayoral election.
receive me.
progressive ideas would be met with the sound of crickets – or perhaps worse –
when presented to those who have dedicated their lives to growing businesses and
the economy.
That’s because ABNY understands – as do I – that rising inequality isn’t just a

problem for those of modest means… not just a threat to those barely hanging on to
their place in the middle class. You and I understand that inequality is a crisis that
impacts ALL of us -- including those who have enjoyed great personal success.
If New York cannot be a city of genuine opportunity for ALL – regardless of the
circumstances of their birth – then we not only lose a part of who we are – we risk
losing our place as a global center of innovation, diversity, and progress.
That is why we REFUSE to accept the false choices that for too long have defined the
way that some have viewed our city:
That sustained economic growth is fated to only help SOME, while leaving so
many behind;
That more development inevitably means that everyday New Yorkers will be
priced out;
That New York cannot be both a growing city AND a city of opportunity for
all.

We know that sort of myopic thinking should not, and will not, define our future.
families, as well as boost their wages – is not in conflict with fostering a thriving
economy. In fact, it can and MUST be the foundation for a sustainable, growing
economy.
We’ve just begun to implement our agenda, but if 2014 is any indication, policies
promoting fairness and equality are doing anything but precluding economic
growth.
Just take a look at the good news from last year.
95,900 jobs added;
An unemployment rate down nearly two points in less than a year – with the
third quarter experiencing the largest three-month drop in unemployment
on record;

television series and over 240 films right here in New York;
300,000 people.
Our city is growing, both in terms of our economy, and the number of people who
And so we remain focused on a critical challenge: growing our economy in a way

that is broad-based and guided by expanding opportunity for every New Yorker. We
know that the best and brightest come from every neighborhood in every borough –
and those with the grit and determination to succeed come from all walks of life. So
if families can’t afford to stay in our city, then we are ALL denied the contributions
offered by those unrealized success stories.
places for families to live; and helping grow New Yorkers’ incomes -- through
higher wages, better benefits, and more steps to reduce the squeeze that so many of
our families feel.
In the State of the City, I talked about my Administration’s affordable housing plan:
the boldest municipal affordable housing plan in U.S. history.


CONDITION of new development resulting from rezoning;
Fighting to protect and strengthen rent regulations to ensure that housing

units that are currently affordable will STAY that way;
And dedicating $36 million to protecting tenants from harassment and

cracking down on predatory landlords – the minority of landlords who want
only to make a quick buck at the expense of their tenants’ well-being…at the
expense of our city’s affordability.
We more than doubled the 10-year capital budget for affordable housing
with our enormous $7.2 billion commitment and will leverage an additional
$32 billion in private investment to produce more units for a broader range
of New Yorkers.
All of that adds up to 200,000 units of affordable housing created or

preserved over a decade…units built at DOUBLE the average annual rate of
the last 25 years.
Additionally, we’re catalyzing 160,000 new market rate units to help housing
supply keep up with a growing population.
And as we re-zone to add more housing capacity, we are committed to

making concurrent investments in infrastructure, so that communities don’t
have to wait years for new schools, parks, playgrounds and other open
spaces. These are hallmarks of responsible development… and priorities to
this Administration.
Making housing in New York more affordable is critical to keeping this a city of
That is why we are also working to GROW our economy…to expand new job

growth that benefits ALL New Yorkers -- NOT just those at the top.
fairer city for ALL who call it home. It is critical to keeping New Yorker a city
defined by openness and innovation -- a special place to start or grow a business.

Our city will do ITS part -- first, by investing in our people, so that businesses don’t
need to look far and wide to find the most skilled, best qualified workers in the
world.
Specifically:
We’re starting early with more than 53,000 students enrolled in pre-K LAST year –
this year it will be available to EVERY family that wants it.
And we are nearly DOUBLING the number of middle school students in afterschool,
to keep them safe and on task, giving working parents peace of mind during those
critical hours between the end of the school day and the end of the workday.
And our commitment to making New York a place where EVERYONE is prepared for
opportunity goes much further.
We are making a $29 million investment to expand academic intervention and STEM
at CUNY community colleges, because an education granting the knowhow needed
for 21st century jobs ought to be available to EVERYONE in New York City.
For too long, our City has focused a half a billion dollar training and workforce
development budget on initiatives that led to temporary, low paying jobs that
offered only superficial opportunity. Over the past few years, less than 10% of our
workforce development investment has gone into skills training. We’re increasing
that amount, THREE-FOLD.
We’re moving forward with a plan to redesign our Career Pathways system to arm
up to 30,000 New Yorkers annually with the skills they need for quality, stable jobs
of today and tomorrow. That’s more than TRIPLE the number of New Yorkers who
currently receive this type of training.
We’re working with companies across many industries – from health care to
construction – and we recognize that each industry has different needs. In some
industries, we need to make sure that new jobs mean better wages and benefits for
workers. Other industries -- like technology -- are growing rapidly, but are in need
of space…and especially talent.
That’s why we created the Tech Talent Pipeline: to support the growth of New
York’s booming technology sector, AND training New Yorkers to be those
companies' premier new hires. 3,000 New Yorkers will benefit from our action THIS
year. Not sometime in the distant future -- THIS YEAR.
Another example: modern manufacturing…. New businesses that utilize technology

and the ingenuity of New Yorkers from every borough to quickly turn exciting ideas
into tangible products, regardless of their scale.

It means using technologies like 3-D printers that are revolutionizing production so
that great ideas can come to life right here, right now in New York City. It’s a
SECTOR that offers opportunities for a diverse workforce, and is critical to our
future.
We’ll partner with modern manufacturing companies to make sure that our training
initiatives are offering New Yorkers the skills needed in this industry. We’re also
securing commitments from businesses to HIRE New Yorkers who complete this
training.
The City will also do its part by making significant investments in the built
environment so that businesses have the physical prerequisites for growth. New
York City understands how important infrastructure is to economic growth, and
that is why we are putting our money where our mouth is.
We’re investing in City-owned assets so that innovative businesses can grow.
Brooklyn Navy Yard is a $140 million redevelopment project that will transform a
previously underutilized warehouse space into a modern manufacturing facility that
will create 3,000 good jobs. Because of our investment, a cold, empty space is
becoming a hub of opportunity, filled with exciting, creative businesses…. And with
job training opportunities ON SITE to ensure new opportunities here are open to
EVERY New Yorker.
We’re taking what works at the Navy Yard – capital investment, job training, and a
bold approach and applying it to the Brooklyn Army Terminal, where we’re opening
half a million square feet for modern manufacturing businesses. This means 1,000
new jobs…. PERMANENT jobs representing smart, inclusive growth, in space that
was unused for decades.
Today, I want to announce a new project based upon that same philosophy – Hunts
Point, a key food distribution hub in the South Bronx.
Our plan will invest $150 million over 12 years to revitalize Hunts Point -- fortifying
a vital aspect of our infrastructure – our food supply.
It will modernize the buildings and infrastructure that are currently there, and open
up new space for small businesses. More than that, it’s a bold vision and a major
financial commitment that will make the site resilient and sustainable, improving
New York’s readiness for natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy.
It’s hard to overstate how important this facility is for our city. It occupies 329 acres
and supports 115 private wholesalers that employ over 8,000 people. These are
good, decent-paying jobs for New Yorkers at every education level. Our plan
protects those jobs and positions the site to create many more jobs for New Yorkers
in the future.

And it will include dedicated space to better link food grown and produced in
Upstate New York, strengthening our city’s critical partnership with Upstate
communities, farms, and businesses. I know there are many great rooftop farms in
Greenpoint… but we all understand that they can’t provide enough food for EVERY
New Yorker. Strengthening our Upstate partnerships is CRITICAL.

undertaking. Some projects will require partnerships. In the coming months, we’re
going to unveil large infrastructure projects that will necessitate federal help.
But we can do so much on our own. In fact, we’re fostering the growth of whole new
INDUSTRIES. We’re doing so in ways that offer opportunities to all New Yorkers,
and opportunities for employers to tap into our world-class workforce.
We’ve talked about technology and modern manufacturing, but we’re also making
substantial strategic investments in other growth sectors like health care, and we’ll
be making announcements on these investments soon.
Now, I’ve talked about how New York City will do OUR part to tackle our inequality
crisis, I also want to call on YOU – the business leaders gathered in this room – to do
YOURS.
Let’s face it. If New York City becomes an inequitable and unaffordable place… one
where the hardest working and most ambitious -- who come from every borough --
cannot afford to stay… no one will suffer more than the business community. You
don’t just benefit from a world-class workforce -- it’s a requisite for the growth and
profits for your company.
The City is making investments to ensure the affordability crisis doesn’t chase future
private sector success stories out of New York City.
We’re not just talking about that goal; we’re dedicating our own balance sheet to it.
I pledge to you that as long as I’m Mayor, New York City will take responsibility for
developing the best possible workers, fortifying our infrastructure, improving our
transit system through citywide ferries and expanded bus rapid transit, reducing
unnecessary red tape and regulations that deter innovation, and jump-starting
growth for businesses.
I’m holding up my end of the bargain…and then some.
But I need YOU to take responsibility for providing the great people of this city with
the opportunities… the wages… and the chances for advancement…that they need
and deserve.

That means hiring New Yorkers from EVERY neighborhood. Give them the chance
to put their skills… their drive and determination… to work for YOUR company.
It also means raising wages at your company.
Companies like The Gap…like Aetna…and like New York City’s own Shake
Shack…have ALREADY raised their wages above the national minimum wage.
They are not doing it to be charitable. They are doing it because they know that
higher wages mean more productive workers…AND stronger local economies.
Indeed, studies that show how increasing workers’ wages has a powerful upward
pull on whole economies because of increased consumer spending.
And it’s not just big businesses that are taking the lead on higher wages.
UncommonGoods is an innovative retailor based out of the Brooklyn Army
Terminal. Its CEO and Founder, David Bolotsky, is an outspoken advocate for
raising workers’ wages, and pays even seasonal workers well above the minimum
wage. He puts it pretty plainly QUOTE “We see higher productivity and lower
turnover when employees are fairly compensated.”
I am also calling on major investors and lenders to use their influence to invest their
resources in ways that promote and grow companies that pay good wages. These
are people who have a very real impact on our city’s economy – and they MUST use
their power to benefit the people of our city - middle class, working class, and poor
families alike.
Think of the all the success stories in this room that wouldn’t have been POSSIBLE if
that struggle – a struggle with a singular sense of purpose –hadn’t paid off. That
idea…that promise… one that has paid huge dividends for so many here today… is at
risk. And so we must take action.
Our work to tackle the inequality crisis…and keep New York an open, innovative
place…won’t be easy. But there is so much we can do on our own as a city, if we –
this Administration, the people in this room, and everyday New Yorkers across our
City – all work TOGETHER.
So today, let’s recommit to making our city a place not of exclusive opulence…but of
It’s a big job, but the stories – big and small – of those here, and those in every
corner of New York -- demonstrate that it is a task well worth undertaking.
And we will do it…together.
Thank you!

Not quite following what you mean exactly.
We’re currently in our first full academic year of BdB’s mayoralty. Do you mean using

Should be “nearly doubling”. Let’s rephrase to:
“And we are nearly doubling enrollment in after-school programs for

middle school students, to keep them safe and on task, giving working
parents peace of mind during those critical hours between the end of the
school day and the end of the work day.”

I will double-check with DYCD, but he’s used the “doubling” phrasing
before.

Notes: MN Congressman (Minneapolis) since 2007. Ellison is the first Muslim to be

inequality and raising the minimum wage. He recently commended Wal-Mart for
their pledge to raise the minimum wage for their employees.
The congressman has walked picket lines protesting what he considered Wal-
Mart’s poor pay and working conditions. But Friday he offered praise for a
company that often ranks at the bottom of surveys.
“I want to commend Wal-Mart,” Ellison said. “Wal-Mart is ahead of the federal
government. There is a recognition that we can’t get by in a two-tier
economy.”
Ellison said he and others pushing higher wages will use Wal-Mart’s action as
a way to compel more retailers to act. That includes Target, which is
headquartered in his congressional district.

on 2/25. In his announcemnent he said
Today, we are producing, building, creating and discovering more than ever
before, and yet, for the middle-class, getting ahead has never been harder. I
believe that if you’re willing to work hard every day and play by the rules, you
shouldn’t go to bed worrying about tomorrow. To save the American
Dream, we need to go back to the basics. We need to create living-wage jobs
and invest in the kind of infrastructure projects that benefit our communities.
We need to make college more accessible and affordable so that our young
people can get an education, get a job, and start saving to buy a home, support
their families and retire with a sense of dignity and security. We need to make
smart choices on fair trade that reward the worker instead of the wealthy.

Progressive Taxation
Policy: Fair Share Taxation

Description: “Corporations and the wealthy are failing to pay their fair share of taxes…We can create a fairer
tax system to ensure that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share, and make it easier for
families to regain the security they’ve lost.” [Americans for Tax Fairness, “A Fair Tax System”]
Details: We can crack down on corporate tax dodging by restricting corporation inversions (registering
Americans companies as foreign corporations and eliminating offshore loopholes and special tax
breaks. To ensure the wealthy pays their fair share, we can start by strengthening the estate tax.
Resources: Americans for Tax Fairness; AFL-CIO Corporate Watch, “Avoiding Their Fair Share of Taxes”
Policy: Bad Business Fee

Description: “When workers have a voice in the process to determine wages and conditions, our democracy
thrives. Expanding workers’ ability to negotiate – either directly with their employers or through
a Bad Business Fee – gets us closer to wrestling some control back from the corporate 1% and on
the path toward healing our ailing economy.” [Jobs with Justice, “Low Wages are Bad
Business”]
Details: “Allow a government to levy significant fines on a company that is paying excessively low
wages and relying on taxpayers to foot the bill. Companies would be incentivized to work with
and respond to their employees requests for fair wages and adequate benefits directly. Otherwise
they would pay for parallel social services through a fee that workers and community members
have input over. In other words, a bad actor in our economy is held accountable to either provide
a good job or supply income or subsidies for existing and unemployed workers.” [Jobs with
Justice, “Low Wages are Bad Business”]
Resources: Jobs with Justice, “Low Wages are Bad Business”
Policy: Pied-à-terre tax

Description: Non-NYC residents avoid paying personal income taxes and benefit from large property tax
exemptions, yet they continue to utilize city services and infrastructure. Instituting a pied-à-terre
tax on wealthy, non-residential owners of NYC properties would bring much needed balance and
fairness to our city’s tax system.
Details: Instituting a property tax surcharge on expensive apartments and homes (over $5 million) that
are owned by non-city residents. The annual surcharge, ranging from .5% to 4% would raise
$665 million a year in revenue. [Crain’s NY Business, “Manhattan Democrats to introduce pied-
à-terre tax bill”, 9/22/2014]
Resources: Fiscal Policy Institute, “FPI proposes a tax on the most expensive NYC pied-a terre residential
units”, 9/22/2014
Policy: Millionaire’s tax

Description: Requiring those who have benefitted from our economic system – individuals making more than
$1 million annually – to pay their fair share of taxes through a modest increase.
Details: Current millionaire’s tax in New York State is scheduled to expire at the end of 2017.
Resources:

Policy: Mansion tax
Description: A 1% levy on all homes and apartment sales over $1 million.
Details: New York State’s mansion tax was first instituted in 1989 by the NYS Legislature and Governor
Mario Cuomo. The NYS Division of Budget estimated that the tax generated $259 million for
the state in fiscal year 2012-2013.
Resources: WSJ, “City Eyes Mansion-Tax Boost to Assist Affordable Housing”, 11/18/2014; NY Post,
“Mansion Tax Produces Geyser of Revenue for New York”, 3/20/2014]
Policy: Luxury tax

Description: Tax or surcharge on luxury (or non-essential) goods such as boats, private planes, etc.
Details:
Resources: Economy Watch, “Luxury Tax in the United States of America (U.S.A.)”
Policy: Endowments tax

Description: Certain large-scale institutions have put their tax-free status into question by operating more like
hedge funds than non-profit institutions. An endowments tax would ensure that interest is fairly
taxed for the public good.
Details: Massachusetts legislation proposed a 2.5% annual tax on any amount of an endowment
exceeding $1 billion. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has been supportive of requiring large
endowment to make 5% annual payouts.
Resources: WSJ, “College Endowment Tax is Studies”, 5/9/2008; NY Post, “Colleges getting away with
huge tax-free endowments”, 9/28/2014

Subject: Progressive Taxation
Folks:
Attached here is memo Mahen put together on progressive taxation. His purpose was to create a research
doc which we could use to craft a briefing to help MBdB facilitate a discussion with mayors around some of
these options/ endeavors and their interest, thoughts, and feedback.
I plan to work with Gabriel on this, but any input from JDC to help us meet your vision and goals would be
very helpful.
When we meet together on Friday at City Hall, we can discuss and I can work by COB Friday to have a first
draft for review so we are comfortable with shared vision and talk points well in advance of when MBdB is
supposed to facilitate.
Is that an ok plan?
Any notes JDC want to share now?
Need anything further from Mahen to add?
Thanks, all.
Stephanie

Steph,
Gabe passed along your progressive taxation doc. Thought I'd add to it in case helpful - see attached.
Let me know if you need anything else. I took out the financial transactions tax section because BdB is on-

record as opposing it...then again he could be convinced otherwise.

TRANSPORTATION (MBDB will lean into this and facilitate discussion)
Goals: Give path to Mayors to push for Re-Authorization, Frame Issue Around Access to Opportunity
1. Full Funding For Transportation Bill is important for Cities

x MBDB has big transportation projects in the Tri State Area that are important for NYC
o MAX TO SUPPLY EXAMPLES – JDC SUGGESTS LOOKING AT GATEWAY
PROJECT AS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT, KWATRA FLAG THIS HAS
ALBANY IMPLICATIONS
x US Government expert lays out impact of reauthorization to Mayors

o We hope to have Secretary Foxx but will be game-time decision because of his
health. We are getting Assistant Secretary in his place regardless and possibly Sec of
Labor to discuss jobs that come with reauthorization
2. Propose joint action by mayors to collectively lobby congress on reauthorizing

x We recommend letter we will get signatures on that we will send to House and Senate leaders
Boehner and Reid and do press on.
3. Share organizing tool-kit with mayors

x Engaging Building Trades locally and nationally to joint lobbying effort
x Engaging Contractors for same
x Engaging Clergy and Organizations of Faith to join lobbying efforts
4. MBDB will ask every Mayor in room to each develop lists of members of the house and Senate they
can effectively lobby, especially Republicans
5. MBDB to argue to other mayors that affordability cannot be tackled by focusing on housing alone –
transportation that connects middle and working class people from home to jobs is crucial
MBDB to highlight our 5 boro ferry plan and Bus Rapid Transit investments from State of
the City address
MBDB to highlight work 2-3 other Mayors are doing with similar type projects, Federal
affairs working on research for these materials
HOUSING (to be led by Mayor Walsh)
Goal: Mayor to share with other Mayors the affordable housing work we are doing in NYC and the traps

Description: “Corporations and the wealthy are failing to pay their fair share of taxes…We can create a fairer tax system to
ensure that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share, and make it easier for families to regain the security
they’ve lost.” [Americans for Tax Fairness, “A Fair Tax System”]
Details: We can crack down on corporate tax dodging by restricting corporation inversions (registering Americans
companies as foreign corporations and eliminating offshore loopholes and special tax breaks. To ensure the
wealthy pays their fair share, we can start by strengthening the estate tax.

Description: “When workers have a voice in the process to determine wages and conditions, our democracy thrives. Expanding
workers’ ability to negotiate – either directly with their employers or through a Bad Business Fee – gets us closer
to wrestling some control back from the corporate 1% and on the path toward healing our ailing economy.” [Jobs
with Justice, “Low Wages are Bad Business”]
Details: “Allow a government to levy significant fines on a company that is paying excessively low wages and relying on
taxpayers to foot the bill. Companies would be incentivized to work with and respond to their employees requests
for fair wages and adequate benefits directly. Otherwise they would pay for parallel social services through a fee
that workers and community members have input over. In other words, a bad actor in our economy is held
accountable to either provide a good job or supply income or subsidies for existing and unemployed workers.”
[Jobs with Justice, “Low Wages are Bad Business”]

Description: Non-NYC residents avoid paying personal income taxes and benefit from large property tax exemptions, yet they
continue to utilize city services and infrastructure. Instituting a pied-à-terre tax on wealthy, non-residential
owners of NYC properties would bring much needed balance and fairness to our city’s tax system.
Details: Instituting a property tax surcharge on expensive apartments and homes (over $5 million) that are owned by non-
city residents. The annual surcharge, ranging from .5% to 4% would raise $665 million a year in revenue. [Crain’s
NY Business, “Manhattan Democrats to introduce pied-à-terre tax bill”, 9/22/2014]
Resources: Fiscal Policy Institute, “FPI proposes a tax on the most expensive NYC pied-a terre residential units”, 9/22/2014

Description: Requiring those who have benefitted from our economic system – individuals making more than $1 million
annually – to pay their fair share of taxes through a modest increase.

Policy: Financial Transaction Tax
Description:
Details: Not doable on city level (we aren’t expected to do anything) federal government needs to do it
Dave Camp is heading up tax reform for republicans. Conservative but stock transfer tax and
endowment taxation. He is doing it because it’s a revenue neutral approach for lowering income tax on
millionaires, but shows that there are ideas that are being considered by bi partisan partners.
Resources:
Policy: Mansion tax

Details: New York State’s mansion tax was first instituted in 1989 by the NYS Legislature and Governor Mario Cuomo. The
NYS Division of Budget estimated that the tax generated $259 million for the state in fiscal year 2012-2013.

Policy: Luxury tax

Details:

Description: Certain large-scale institutions have put their tax-free status into question by operating more like hedge funds
than non-profit institutions. An endowments tax would ensure that interest is fairly taxed for the public good.
Details: Massachusetts legislation proposed a 2.5% annual tax on any amount of an endowment exceeding $1 billion.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has been supportive of requiring large endowment to make 5% annual payouts.

MORE INFO GATHERED BY CPD (draft form; do not share):

FAIR-SHARE REVENUE OPTIONS WOULD ENSURE HEDGE FUNDS DON’T DODGE TAXES AND FULLY FUND OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
Fair-share taxes and fees targeting hedge funds, billionaires, high-income LLCs and tax-dodging big corporations can raise
between $3.1 and $4.2 billion dollars per year — more than enough to pay for complete compliance with the Campaign for
Fiscal Equitss (“CFE”) decision, ensuring fair funding for all public schools.
Lawmakers should move forward with enough of the fair-share revenue options outlined in this report to ensure that this year’s
state budget includes $2.2 billion in new school aid to comply with CFE and pay down Gap Elimination Adjustment arrears.
CLOSE HEDGE FUND TAX LOOPHOLES
x Repatriate New York State Share of Tax Revenue Lost to Federal Carried Interest Loophole: $100 million
x Tax Nonresident Hedge Fund Management Fees: $50 million
x Eliminate the Carried Interest Exemption under New York City’s Unincorporated Business Tax: $200 million
These initiatives close the “carried interest loophole” that lets hedge funds making billions in profits pay less in taxes than small
businesses in our local communities, and assure that hedge fund managers working in New York but living elsewhere pay their
fair share of taxes.
INSIST ON MINIMUM FAIR-SHARE TAXES FROM HEDGE FUNDS AND BIG CORPORATIONS
x Restore the Capital Base Alternative Tax (“Corporate Minimum Tax”) to the Corporate Franchise Tax: $500-$700 million
x Update LLC filing fees (applies to LLCs & non-LLC partnerships): $500 million

x Repeal the Financial Services Investment Tax Credit: $30 million
These initiatives assure that high-income LLCs, Wall Street and big businesses pay their fair share, while protecting local small
businesses in our communities.
ENSURE THE SUPER-RICH PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE

x New top brackets on Personal Income Tax (PIT) 11% at $10M: up to $1.7 billion
x Close the Pied-a-terre Tax Abatement Loophole: $250-$900 million
x Helicopter Commuter Tax: $10 million
These initiatives ensure that billionaires and multi-millionaires pay their fair share of taxes, and close property tax loopholes
benefitting the absentee owners of luxury Manhattan condominiums.
HEDGE FUNDS AND HEDGE FUND MANAGERS AREN’T PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE IN TAXES
Hedge funds and hedge fund managers use a number of specific loopholes in federal, state and local law to avoid taxes in New
York.
Problem: Hedge funds use the “carried interest” loophole to avoid fair taxation.
By defining a large portion of their massive income as “carried interest,” hedge fund managers avoid fair-share taxes at the
federal, state and local level in New York
Federal legislation to close the “carried interest” loophole is estimated to generate $17 billion dollars over ten years, an average
of $1.7 billion per year.[6]
When a hedge fund manager invests capital provided by a limited partner, they typically take a share of the profits from that
investment as a fee. That share is known as “carried interest.” This income should be subject to taxation, the same as any other
income – but it isn’t.
Lost revenue under the loophole is largely the result of taxing personal income derived from carried interest at the difference
between the federal capital gains rate and the top individual income tax rate — that difference is 19.6 percentage points.
Essentially, this is performance compensation – just like tips for a waiter or waitresses are performance compensation. But while
a waitress is obliged to pay full income tax on this money, a hedge fund manager isn’t.
A new 19.6 percent surtax on carried interest, if adopted by all the states, would generate $1.7 billion per year. Each one
percent of surtax would generate $89.5 million per annum nationwide. The Fiscal Policy Institute estimated in 2008 that 44% of
the earnings of private equity occurred in New York City.[7]
If we assume that holds true today, then a 2.5 percent surtax applied to hedge fund income that is not being taxed appropriately
at the federal level would generate $100 million per year for New York, repatriating lost revenue for use to fund schools and
essential public services here.
Problem: Non-resident hedge fund managers are dodging New York State income taxes on much of their income
The 2010 Executive Budget proposal proposed to “expand the nonresident personal income tax to include income received from
hedge fund management fees.” Currently, only a small portion of such income is taxed as compensation, with the remainder
deemed tax-free capital gains. This proposal would result in equal treatment of this income for residents and nonresidents, and
raise at least $50 million per year.
Problem: The “carried interest” loophole allows hedge funds to avoid many New York City business taxes
The City taxes a portion of the fees received by managing partners in private equity and hedge funds under its business tax
system but exempts a portion known as “carried interest” from taxation.
When a fund manager invests capital provided by a limited partner, they typically take a share of the profits from that investment.
That share is known as “carried interest,” and avoids City taxes.
Eliminating this loophole would put the taxation of private equity and hedge funds on the same footing as that of thousands of
smaller businesses.
The New York City Independent Budget Office has estimated that eliminating the carried interest exemption from the New York
City Unincorporated Business Tax would yield $200 million a year.[8]
Problem: Hedge funds and luxury real estate developers use “LLCs” (limited liability corporations) to solicit huge investments,
shield investors and limit taxation.
Some LLCs have huge amounts of New York State gross income — but they don’t pay their fair share in taxes and fees, unlike
the small-to-medium sized businesses that anchor most communities.
From 2003 to 2006, New York instituted a fair-share LLC fee structure, which was later replaced with a flat-fee structure that
allows hedge funds and speculative investment pools to avoid their fair share of the cost of public goods.
Since some LLCs have massive gross income, it would be fitting to apply roughly the same minimum taxes for other
corporations (i.e. the 9A corporate tax) to the LLC fee structure.
The current 9A structure includes a fixed-dollar minimum corporate tax for businesses with gross income of $500M-$1B at
$100,000, and for those with gross income > $1 B, the fixed dollar minimum tax is $200,000.
For 2015, DOB projects that the current LLC fee structure will generate $88 million. According to analysis by the Fiscal Policy
Institute, a fair-share fee structure is projected to generate approximately $600 million, or roughly $500 million more than the
existing fee structure.
Problem: Cuomo eliminated the corporate minimum tax

The business tax “reform” package enacted by Governor Cuomo in 2014 will cost the state $440 million or more annually in
reduced taxes when fully phased in.
Cuomo’s changes eliminated the capital base alternative tax (“corporate minimum tax”), which could result in some very large
corporations paying a miniscule amount of tax relative to the volume of business they conduct in New York – possibly including
hedge funds.
It should be restored and the cap increased to $25 million, to make sure big corporations doing business in New York pay at
least some taxes.
Problem: Multi-millionaires and billionaires with huge yearly personal incomes are paying a smaller share of their income in
state and local taxes than the middle class.
New York’s current “temporary” top income tax bracket is 8.82% for incomes of $2 million and over – and it is set to expire in
2017.
In 2010, there were about 3800 households filing taxes in New York with incomes at or over $10 million per year
A new 11% tax rate for this group would generate $1.7 billion per year in fair-share revenue for schools and services. Less than
half (47%) of those affected are full-year New York State residents – many are hedge fund managers with homes all around the
world
Instituting these new top rates would put the combined New York City and New York State top rate very close to the combined
rate for California and San Francisco, leaving Silicon Valley wealth and hedge fund/Wall Street wealth comparably taxed.
Problem: Wall Street trading firms making billions in profit and getting taxpayer subsidies
Right now, investments in buildings and equipment used by broker/dealers are eligible for an investment tax credit. The credit is
complex, subject to extensive recapture and concentrated among relatively few taxpayers, providing benefits to an extremely
affluent and limited segment of the financial services industry.
For the last year for which data is available only 28 filers used this credit.[9]
This reform was recommended by the Solomon/McCall Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and was also proposed by
Governor Cuomo in January 2014.[10]
Problem: Luxury Manhattan apartment owners from out of state or overseas that don’t live in their multi-million-dollar condos
but still get special tax breaks
This reform gives pied-a-terre owners a choice: live full-time in your apartments and get tax breaks, or don’t live in them full-time
and give up the breaks.
If each of the roughly 90,000 absentee-owner units in New York City were assigned a very modest average market value of $1.5
million each and a current tax assessment that – with 421a benefits, phase-in caps and improper assessments – equals about
one-quarter of the real market value of the unit.[11]
With these assumptions, a 1.1 per cent tax rate on true market value would produce more than $900 million in new city revenues
annually.
The Fiscal Policy Institute, using a similar analysis, has recommended that New York City introduce a graduated 4 percent tax
based on comparable sales for all absentee-owner units with a market value of more than $5 million; that proposal, which would
concentrate the tax burden on units worth more than $25 million, would bring in an estimated $250 million in new revenue every
year.[12]
The state STAR program recently instituted a similar ban on tax breaks for second homes.

Per my conversation with Gabe and Avi, here is an edited agenda. Main changes include,
- Assumes that Sec Perez is attending, since we are extending an invite to him.
- Based on previous feedback from MBdB, recognizes that we can’t engage a
Secretary, a DOT Under-Secretary, and Sen. Warren, and dive into meaningful
conversation about transportation and housing all in one morning. Instead, I propose
we welcome outside speakers and address transportation in the am, then break for
lunch and the press conference, and in the pm come back for the housing discussion.
- On transportation, we want the outcome to be that we support GROWING THE
FUNDING PIE. This is a message that we need to push equally as hard with Ds and Rs
to succeed.
I also enclosed the Commitment to Action additions and the most current list of participants.
Please send me your edits and suggestions asap so that I can engage Boston on our vision for the
Summit.
Thanks,
Max

I’ve included these in a draft Commitment to Action with housing and transportation added.
Transportation:
x Safe Streets for All: Commit to adopt a comprehensive policy that safeguards lives of
pedestrians and bicyclists through improvements such as safety investments on the
ground, enforcement policies, traffic safety education, and legislative action.

x Access to Opportunity: Improve access to jobs, schools, and community resources

through supporting public transit connections in communities with limited transportation
options, including low income communities, seniors, youth, and communities of color. In
addition, support workforce development opportunities in these communities to create a
pipeline to good transportation jobs via partnerships.
Housing:
x Make affordable housing policies work for all city residents: Work to broaden the
range of residents who benefit from affordable housing programs to include both the
lowest-income residents and middle-income workers who increasingly struggle to afford
residing in our cities. For example, in conjunction with finance partners such as local and
state housing finance agencies, cities can develop finance programs or mechanisms that
allow for a broader range (both lower income and middle-income workers) to have access
to city-supported affordable housing.
x Supportive housing: Cities should commit to creating more supportive housing for
people with disabilities and histories of homelessness. Partnerships with States to fund
supportive services and exploring whether Medicaid costs currently borne by the State
can be reduced by investing in supportive housing. Cities can also work with their local
housing authority to make a greater commitment of Section 8 vouchers available, upon
turnover, to homeless families. Another locally-controlled initiative to improve housing
affordability.
In support of the above efforts, we also agree to work together to achieve federal action on:
x Nationwide minimum wage increase: Support increasing the federal minimum wage.
x Funding Commitments for early childhood education: Advocate for existing
federal programs that support early childhood education.
x Nationwide universal pre-kindergarten: Support expanded access to high-quality
early childhood education for children across the nation.
x Broadband advocacy and initiative: Advocate for federal programs and initiatives
that bolster technological innovation, and accelerate and diversify the workforce
pipeline in technology for low-income individuals and people of color.
x Housing — Local leadership and flexibility: Support increasing flexibility for local
governments/mayors to target resources to meet the most pressing needs. This
includes supporting LIHTC income averaging to meet needs of families often left out
of traditional federal housing supports, like very low income and middle income
families.
x Local Affordable Housing Trust Fund: Support increasing dedicated funding for the
National Housing Trust Fund to directly provide communities with critical funds to
build, preserve, and rehabilitate housing for those residents most in need.
x Federal housing support for our residents: Support federal funding for affordable
housing in our cities, including funding for public housing authorities, Section 8 and
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants.
x Transportation – Local Vision, Local Accountability: Support federal grant
programs and policy changes that give cities and regions direct access to federal
funding along with increased accountability. Decisions about transportation

Excellent points.
1) We have not found an action goal for housing that is as clear as that for
Transportation. We suggest we use this 1 ½ hr conversation on housing to bring
attention to the need for affordable housing around the country, and build a sense
of momentum around the work that some mayors are doing to turn address the
problem. NYC’s housing plan and initiatives are great examples to share, and other
cities also have best practices. This said, we are waiting to hear from Boston about
their goals. Just know, there is a lot of push and support from many participating
cities re housing needs.
2) The Commitment to action is probably not going to be the right vehicle for
identifying organizing activities. We could replicate the Count On Me document
we prepared for the Immigration Summit. On the other hand, the Commitment
to action has been critical to determining the four corners of the work we do as a
Task Force, so that we have clear goals in mind. We suggest that we expand the
Commitment to Action under the radar and without bringing too much attention to
it, unlike last time.

Agree with these edits with just 2 concerns.
1) Want to make sure we have executable and clear plan for the housing portion of the
work group – our goal as stated is for MBDB to share with other mayors all we’ve
been doing on affordable housing – investments, rezonings, tenant protection – but
no real organizing or action goal. Will Boston supply that goal and share it with us if
they are taking lead on this portion?
2) Commitment to action – want to make sure that our action items aren’t just adding
things/names to this list, but that we pump up and highlight the organizing efforts
we can run metrics and progress on regarding transpo – sign on letter to congress,
unions and contractors who’ve taken action talking to their congressmembers, etc –
stating the obvious this doesn’t preclude us from expanding our commitment to

action, but that should not be our product.

Foxx should help us get a secretary / star from white house to help them move their agenda on
transportation if he himself can’t come. That’s the angle polly should work and that mayor may want

Boston agreed with our suggestions. A few points of clarification:
- Staff will engage Mayor Walsh to make outreach calls to colleagues asking them to
attend the Summit.
- They had a suggestion re press conference location (I will send under separate
cover).
- If MBdB not attending Sunday panel, then they may cancel it. Mayor Walsh may
choose to bring this up with MBdB. Note that this is something they worked on with
Citi, who is considering awarding us a grant to help run the Task Force.
- Senior staff is engaging Mayor Walsh re Sunday night small group meeting. She
suggested that MBdB mention it the next time they speak too.
- Boston is working with Sen Warren on topic of her address. They favored our
suggestion that she speak about a progressive urban agenda that focuses on
inequality. Also, she is in the Senate Finance committee, with jurisdiction over
transportation and housing matters.
- FYI, Boston has not gotten Sen. Warren to agree to participate in the press
conference.

Foxx should help us get a secretary / star from white house to help them move their agenda on
transportation if he himself can’t come. That’s the angle polly should work and that mayor may want
to work directly with foxx to make personal appeal. Imo.

FYI, Sec. Perez is not available to attend the Summit. Instead, DOL is offering that the Deputy
Secretary participate. Maybe we ask him to join us on Sunday?
Do we want to reach out to Sec. Castro? Or Sen. Sanders or Schumer? Other ideas?

See attached for high-level talkers on rezonings we're using and backgrounders on all
rezoning areas (inc ENY which is all you need of course). Let's talk tomorrow about ENY in
particular and drill down on anti-displacement (tenant protections from harassment,
strengthening rent laws, mandatory inclusionary zoning-- I can translate all). Talk at 9am?

Talking Points on Housing and Neighborhood Planning
For general use and for agency budget testimony*
x Creating and preserving 200,000 units of affordable housing is a centerpiece of Mayor de

Blasio’s effort to confront economic inequality.
x Achieving this goal will require a new way of thinking about neighborhood needs and working
across government silos to ensure we are helping to equitably grow neighborhoods and create
new economic opportunity. . .not just increase residential density
x [Our agency] is part of a team looking holistically not just at additional housing capacity, but the
full host of infrastructure and City services to support neighborhoods. . ..and will be coming to
the table with capital investments to support this growth [as you have heard today]
x THIS is the responsible way to account for new density in our communities.
x Close partnership with these communities is essential to these neighborhood planning efforts.
We share a commitment with local stakeholders to protect the people and places that form the
fabric of their neighborhoods, even as the City must evolve to accommodate a growing
population and tackle the housing crisis that burdens so many families.
x This is the opportunity for neighborhoods to write their own future, through a public, open,
ground-up planning process, instead of having developers or market forces write it for them.
This is our opportunity for a real public response to the forces of gentrification.
x This type of holistic, ground-up, interagency planning is occurring in six neighborhoods across
the city.
x We look forward to continuing engagement with neighborhoods and developing neighborhood

plans that allow all New Yorkers at every rung of the economic ladder to live, work, and raise a
family.
* Note that IGA will work with each agency to tailor additional messages that are agency-specific
Draft Confidential

Bay St Corridor, Downtown Staten Island
The Bay Street Corridor neighborhood study

envisions a new mixed-use district on the North
Shore of Staten Island, within walking distance of
the ferry. Working in close partnerships with local
residents, businesses and community groups, the
City seeks to strengthen the borough’s emerging
downtown neighborhood by providing a wider range
of retail and services while expanding affordable
housing options for a range of income groups and
populations including seniors and young adults.
Location: Bay St from Sands Street to Victory Blvd
Neighborhoods: Tompkinsville, Stapleton, near St.

George and larger Downtown SI area
Transit: Staten Island Rail Road; express bus
Size: 14 blocks, 0.6 miles
Last rezoned: 1961
Existing Zoning: M1-1
Proposed Zoning: TBD
Timeline: Q4 2016 certification
Stakeholders:
Borough President: James Oddo
City Council: Debi Rose (49)
Community Board: 1
Senate: Diane Savino (23);
Assembly: Matthew Titone (61)
Background
The proposed Neighborhood Plan builds upon the recommendation of the North Shore 2030 report to create
a vibrant downtown environment providing stronger connections to the NY Harbor. It will leverage nearly
$1 billion in public and private investments already underway in St. George and along the Stapleton
Waterfront to support the surrounding neighborhoods. The large development projects at the NY Wheel,
Empire Outlets shopping mall, the former Coast Guard site, the new Staten Island Supreme Court building
and Stapleton Waterfront are setting the stage for the long-desired 24/7 “downtown” lifestyle desired by
many Islanders. Recent new developments are already changing the trajectory of the area and include self-
storage, office, auto-part sales, schools, a gym, and affordable housing.
City Investment: TBD. Investments in street improvements, shoreline improvements or potential flood
protection, school capacity, waterfront access and recreation are needed.

East Harlem CD 11
East Harlem Neighborhood Study
The East Harlem neighborhood study seeks to engage local
residents, businesses, and community groups and address the
neighborhood’s needs comprehensively, including replacing
obsolete zoning to promote mixed-income housing,
commercial and community facilities; improving
infrastructure and City services, and promoting community
wellness, workforce development, and economic
opportunity. In tandem, the City will aggressively renew
public investments in affordable housing; rehabilitate and
preserve existing non-subsidized housing; and protect tenants
against harassment and displacement.
Location: East 96th Street to East 141st Street, from Fifth

Avenue to the East River and Harlem River.
Neighborhoods: East Harlem
Transit: 4,5,6 and express bus service; Metro-North train

station at 125th and Park. Future 2nd avenue subway in the
2020s.
Last rezoned: Portions rezoned in 2002;
Existing Zoning: Mix of M, R and C
Proposed Zoning: TBD
Timeline: Q4 2017 certification (under review)
Stakeholders:
x Borough President: Gale Brewer
x City Council: Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (8); Inez
Dickens (9)
x Community Board: 11
x Senate: Jose M. Serrano (29); Bill Perkins (30)
x Assembly: Robert J. Rodriguez (68); Keith Wright (70)
x Community Organizations: Civitas and other local
organizations
Background
The East Harlem study will look at all of Community District 11, with the exception of Randall’s Island. The
East Harlem Neighborhood Study builds upon previous work of community stakeholders, primarily Community
Board 11 and Civitas, who focused on development opportunities along Park Avenue. The current study area will
take a broader and more integrated look at the neighborhood. It will identify enhancements that will facilitate
pedestrian mobility and enliven the public realm. The City is already working with DOT, the MTA, CB 11, and
the New Harlem East Merchants Association to design public realm improvements in the area around the Park
Avenue / 125th Street transit hub. A major component of the study will be a Neighborhood Health Initiative in
partnership with the Fund for Public Health in New York, the New York Academy of Medicine, Mount Sinai
Hospital, and the Department of City Planning to focus on East Harlem.
City Investment: TBD

East New York
The East New York neighborhood study is a comprehensive

effort to promote affordable housing and economic
development and introduce new community resources to
foster a more equitable and livable East New York, Cypress
Hills and Ocean Hill. Zoning changes will direct growth
along transit corridors while preserving the residential
character of interior blocks. All residential development will
be required to include housing that is affordable to existing
residents. The plan will also seek to aggressively preserve
existing affordable housing and protect existing residents
against harassment and displacement.
Location: Fulton Street, Euclid Avenue, Conduit Boulevard,

Pitkin Avenue and Sheffield Avenue. Broadway, Van
Sinderen Avenue, East New York Avenue and Sackman
Street.
Neighborhoods: East New York, Cypress Hill, and Ocean

Hill. Near Broadway Junction transit area.
Transit: J/Z line along Fulton; A/C line along Pitkin.
Size: 191 blocks, 308 acres
Last rezoned: 1961

Existing Zoning: R5, R6, C8, M1
Proposed Zoning: R5B, R6A, R7A, R7D, R8A, C4, MX
Timeline: May 2015 certification
Stakeholders:
x Borough President Eric Adams
x City Council: Rafael Espinal (37); Inez Barron (42)
x Senate: John L. Sampson (19); Martin Malavé Dilan (18)
x Assembly: Latrice Walker (55); Erik Dilan (54)
x Community Organizations: Cypress Hills LDC, LDC of East New York, Arts East New York, United
Community Centers, East New York Restoration Corporation, Highland Park Community Development
Corporation, and YMCA of North Brooklyn.
Background:
East New York experienced significant population decline in the 1970s and 80s, falling from 66,000 people in
1960, to a low of 40,000 people in 1980. The population is currently at 48,000 people, and it can be expected
that by 2030, the Plan would foster a return to the 1960 population levels. The East New York Neighborhood
Study is informed by the planning work and stakeholder engagement that occurred over a two-year period as
part of the US HUD funded Sustainable East New York plan.
City Investment: $85 million in the ten-year capital plan for streets, parks, etc. [Internal use only].

Flushing West
The Flushing West neighborhood study is examining

a 10-block area of underutilized sites in the western
portion of downtown Flushing, adjacent to the
Flushing Creek waterfront. The study builds upon
locally developed plans and envisions creating over a
thousand new units of housing, tens of thousands of
square feet of new retail, commercial and community
facility spaces, and vibrant new public access areas
along the waterfront to meet the needs of this
remarkably diverse and growing neighborhood.
Location: Western portion of Downtown Flushing,

adjacent to Flushing Creek
Neighborhoods: Downtown Flushing
Transit: 7 Line; LIRR
Last rezoned: 1998
Existing Zoning: C4-2, M1-1, M3-1
Proposed Zoning: C4-4 (and special district)
Stakeholders:
x Borough President Melinda Katz

x City Council: Peter Koo (20)
x Senate: Senator Tony Avella (11); Toby Ann Stavitsky (16);
x Assembly: Ron Kim (40)
x Community Organizations: Flushing Business Improvement District, Greater Flushing Chamber of
Commerce, Asian-Americans for Equality, MinKwon Center for Community Action.
Background:
This study will build upon a draft land use, zoning and master planning effort initiated by the Flushing Willets
Point Corona Local Development Corporation. This organization received a $1.5 million Brownfield
Opportunity Area (BOA) grant in 2010 and selected a consultant team lead by AKRF, SHoP Architects and
Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects to study the area between downtown Flushing and the Flushing Creek.
This BOA study is the basis for current planning work.
City Investment: TBD.

Jerome Avenue Corridor
The Jerome Avenue Corridor neighborhood study seeks to

revitalize a two-mile stretch of Jerome Avenue, which is a major
transit corridor that serves the adjacent neighborhoods of
Highbridge, Mount Eden, Concourse, Mount Hope, University
Heights, and Morris Heights. The study seeks to provide
affordable housing, retail, local services and amenities, and to
improve streetscapes and pedestrian safety to better connect
adjacent residential neighborhoods. Preserving affordable
housing and protecting tenants against harassment and
displacement is also central concern.
Location: Jerome Ave (Mullaly Park to Fordham Rd)
Neighborhoods: Highbridge, Mount Eden, Concourse, Mount

Hope, University Heights, and Morris Heights
Transit: 4 (Jerome Ave); B/D (Grand Concourse)
Size: 73 blocks, 2 miles
Last rezoned: 1961
Existing Zoning: C8-3, M1-2, R7-1, R8, C-4-4, commercial overlays
Proposed Zoning: mid-density contextual residential and commercial, MX (residential and light
industrial/commercial)
Stakeholders:
x Borough President: Ruben Diaz
x City Council: Fernando Cabrera (14); Vanessa Gibson (16)
x Community Board: 4 and 5
x Senate: Gustavo Rivera (33); José Serrano (29)
x Community Organizations: WHEDCO, New Settlement Apartments, Highbridge Community Development
Corporation, Mount Hope Housing, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, Bronx Works
Background:
Jerome Avenue is primarily home to low-scale commercial, community facilities, and auto-related uses,
parking facilities, and a modest number of industrial uses, but it also includes more than 5,000 residential units
mostly in older 6- to 8-story apartment buildings. A majority of the existing zoning, in place since 1961, allows
heavy commercial and light industrial uses and does not permit residential development; portions of the study
area are zoned for mid-density residential and local commercial. Recent new developments are already
changing the trajectory of the area and include self-storage, office, auto-part sales, schools, a gym, and
affordable housing.
City Investment: TBD. Estimate of $40 Million for streetscape improvements, parks, and infrastructure. Does
not include $500 million needed to upgrade Harlem River Bridge crossings.

Long Island City
The Long Island City Core rezoning and neighborhood plan aims to
increase affordable housing production, promote a balance between
new residential and commercial development, and identify needed
infrastructure investments to support existing and new residential and
worker populations. The plan will build on the area’s many
strengths—strong real estate market, excellent mass transit access,
and proximity to Midtown Manhattan and the planned Cornell Tech
campus on Roosevelt Island—while ensuring that area's growth will
provide opportunities for households across a range of incomes.
Location: Area along three key corridors, Queens Plaza (from East
River to Jackson Ave / Northern Blvd intersections); Jackson Ave
and Northern Boulevard
Neighborhoods: Long Island City, with adjacent planning activity in

Sunnyside Yards
Transit: E, G, M, N, Q, R, 7 lines; future LIRR stop
Last rezoned: 2001, 2004, 2008

Existing Zoning: Medium to high-density mixed-use district (5-12 FARs)
Proposed Zoning: Higher density mixed-use districts (8-12 FARs and potential zoning incentives)
Stakeholders:
x Borough President Melinda Katz
x City Council: Jimmy Van Bramer (26)
x Community Board: 1 and 2

Background:
A portion of this area was already rezoned as part of the 2001 LIC Special Mixed-Use District rezoning. The
current LIC Core study is a much larger area than the 37-block LIC special district rezoning in 2001. Aside
from its larger size, the LIC Core plan differs from prior rezonings in that it will proactively address how to
leverage strong real estate market forces to create opportunities for requiring affordable housing, fostering
compatible commercial and mixed-use development to support entrepreneurship, and identify critical
investments in needed infrastructure and neighborhood services to support current demands and future growth.
It also will be the first neighborhood planning study to examine how to provide economic opportunities to
benefit the residents of Queensbridge Houses, the nation's largest public housing complex.
City Investment: TBD

See below for some notes. We can talk in am about these, rent laws, and additional context
about all this. Will call your cell at 9.
Problem: Predatory landlords try to capitalize on rising real estate values by harassing
tenants to the point where they are forced out, at which time the landlord can raise rents
on the vacant apartment or convert it to luxury condos. These abuses can include dangerous
construction that creates unlivable conditions; or extreme neglect; or denying heat in the
winter, or otherwise interfering with critical utilities. (I can get you a list from HPD of the
really fearsome stuff.)
What we're doing about it:

- collaborating with our partners at State Dept of housing and the Atty General's office on
the new Tenant Harassment Protection Task Force-- leveraging collaboration to mine shared
data to ID bad actor landlords, investigate them with joint cellar-to-roof inspections,
coordinate enforcement actions, and support the AG in building criminal cases where
appropriate.
- creating Tenant Protection Hotline (will share details)
Problem: 90% of landlords and 10% of tenants are represented in housing court
What we're doing: in areas slated for rezoning (13 zip codes), the city is providing free legal
representation for tenants. Our rezoning will unlock additional value for property owners in
these areas and should landlords try to evict their tenants, we will make sure they are able
to defend themselves; or help them proactively find legal assistance if they are being
harassed.
Problem: developers have historically been permitted to build whatever housing they want
in rezoned neighborhoods-- if the market will support it, they will build it, leading to
displacement for families unable to afford the housing stock
What we're doing: mandatory inclusionary zoning. In rezoned areas, it will no longer be an
option to build affordable housing as part of whatever residential project you are building. It
will be required.

OVERVIEW:
Mayor convenes group for 1 hour post dinner
ATTENDEES:
Murray
Adler
Hodges
Landrieu
- Hoping to lock Wharton today

- Reaching back out to Cownie
VISION:
Mayor facilitates conversation where he discusses the need to generate revenue, his propensity towards progressive
taxation efforts to ensure that low and middle income folks do not bear even more tax burdens, describes a few
examples regionally, asks for opinions and ideas that folks are comfortable working on locally, and how they can
potentially work together on the national front.
STAFF:
A staffer is in the room but only to take notes (SY?) mayors chat among themselves. It's a low-key closed event with
just an initial brainstorm to gauge interest and enthusiasm that maybe can have some key takeaways to move the
conversation forward in a more formalized way and to build rapport with mayors in the room.
OUTCOMES:
- Possible outcomes are that they could agree to send comment to federal tax reform working groups jointly or
individually
- Mayors could invite each other to come to visit/ tour innovative programs in each of their home cities
- They could commission memo on areas of interest to discuss in a more formal way or panel at an upcoming
conference (San Francisco June 2015)
RESEARCH:
The following research contains a number of descriptions of progressive taxation initiatives, however we should focus
mainly on
Carried interest loophole (federal)
Mansion Tax (state)
Bad Business Fee (municipal)
Progressive Taxation – Municipal Level Reforms
Policy: Progressive Local Income Taxes (including payroll taxes, local services taxes, and occupational privilege taxes).
Description: Income taxation is the most progressive revenue raising tool that governments have in their toolbox. While most
municipalities generate the bulk of their revenue through property taxes, sales taxes, and fees, these methods are
inherently regressive (policy tools to limit the regressivity of property and sales taxes are explored in greater detail
below). Wages and salaries make up 68% of total income generated in the United States.
Details: Seventeen states and the District of Columbia currently allow cities, counties, and municipalities to levy their own
separate individual income taxes in addition to state income taxes: Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Currently 4,943 jurisdictions in these states, covering over 23 million Americans, have
implemented some form of income taxation. Where income taxes are in place, they should be progressive with
rates increasing for higher earners rather than a flat percentage or fee applied to all workers.

Resources: For complete tables of local income taxation, please see “Local Income Taxes: City- and County-Level Income and
Wage Taxes Continue to Wane” by Joseph Henchman & Jason Sapia.

Resources: Jobs with Justice, “Low Wages are Bad Business”. Liz Ryan Murray of National People’s action is the expert on this
issue: Liz@npa-us.org.

Policy: Local Intangibles tax

Description: For the 1%, much of their untaxed wealth comes in the form of intangibles such as interest, and dividends.
Details: 30 Kansas counties, 105 Kansas cities, and 400 Kansas townships impose a local intangibles tax on interest,
dividends, and securities transactions (but not wages). The tax rates are generally uniform: county tax is 0.75%
and city and township taxes are 2.25%. No city or township has a rate higher than 2.25%, and 36 have a lower
rate, as low as 0.25%. The taxes cumulatively raised approximately $2.4 million in 2008.

Wage Taxes Continue to Wane” by Joseph Henchman & Jason Sapia.
Policy: Luxury tax

Details:

State-Level Reforms
The most pressing structural problems of municipal revenue can be addressed through creative political strategies at the state level
if municipalities organize with one another to advocate for progressive state level reforms
Policy: Mansion tax


Description: Certain large-scale institutions have put their tax-free status into question by operating more like hedge funds
than non-profit institutions. An endowments tax would ensure that interest is fairly taxed for the public good.
Details: Massachusetts legislation proposed a 2.5% annual tax on any amount of an endowment exceeding $1 billion.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has been supportive of requiring large endowment to make 5% annual payouts.
Resources: WSJ, “College Endowment Tax is Studies”, 5/9/2008; NY Post, “Colleges getting away with huge tax-free
endowments”, 9/28/2014
Policy: Eliminate Net Operating Loss (NOL) Carryback

Details: NOL “allows companies to use current-year income losses to offset income from earlier years. While virtually
every state allows companies to carry losses forward, in accordance with federal rules, many states have
decoupled from the federal provision that allows companies to rewrite history by carrying their losses back two
years. Seventeen states, however, have not done so, and face continued revenue losses from their inaction on this
tax break.”
Resources: Michael Mazerov, “Minority of States Still Granting Net Operating Loss ‘Carryback’ Deductions Should Eliminate
Them Now,” Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, May 11, 2009.
Policy: Substantial Minimum Tax

Details: “States can consider adopting some form of alternative minimum tax (AMT) to ensure that corporations pay some
tax no matter how many loopholes they are able to take advantage of. . . . Flat-dollar minimum taxes are typically
between $100 (as is the case in Utah) and $250 (Vermont).”
Resources: “90 Reasons We Need State Tax Reform” Citizens for Tax Justice and Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
Policy: Corporate Disclosure and Tax Expenditure Estimates

Details: “Sensible goals for corporate tax disclosure efforts include: Identifying all the substantial tax deductions,
exemptions and credits claimed by each large corporation in a state. Evaluating the net impact of these tax breaks
on the bottom-line income tax payments of each corporation. Assessing the effectiveness of these tax breaks in
creating jobs and growing the state’s economy … The vast majority of states now require ‘tax expenditure
reports,’ which provide a complete list of the corporate tax breaks allowed under state law along with an annual
cost estimate for each tax provision. . . . But virtually none of the states provide comprehensive company-specific
information on the wide array of corporate tax breaks allowed by the tax laws.”
Resources: “90 Reasons We Need State Tax Reform” Citizens for Tax Justice and Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

Description: Requiring those who have benefitted from our economic system – individuals making more than $1 million
annually – to pay their fair share of taxes through a modest increase.
Resources:
OTHER OPTIONS

Description: “Corporations and the wealthy are failing to pay their fair share of taxes…We can create a fairer tax system to
ensure that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share, and make it easier for families to regain the security
they’ve lost.” [Americans for Tax Fairness, “A Fair Tax System”]

Details: We can crack down on corporate tax dodging by restricting corporation inversions (registering Americans
companies as foreign corporations and eliminating offshore loopholes and special tax breaks. To ensure the
wealthy pays their fair share, we can start by strengthening the estate tax.

HEDGE FUNDS AND HEDGE FUND MANAGERS AREN’T PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE IN TAXES
Hedge funds and hedge fund managers use a number of specific loopholes in federal, state and local law to avoid taxes in New
York.
Problem: Hedge funds use the “carried interest” loophole to avoid fair taxation.
By defining a large portion of their massive income as “carried interest,” hedge fund managers avoid fair-share taxes at the
federal, state and local level in New York
Federal legislation to close the “carried interest” loophole is estimated to generate $17 billion dollars over ten years, an average
of $1.7 billion per year.[6]
When a hedge fund manager invests capital provided by a limited partner, they typically take a share of the profits from that
investment as a fee. That share is known as “carried interest.” This income should be subject to taxation, the same as any other
income – but it isn’t.
Lost revenue under the loophole is largely the result of taxing personal income derived from carried interest at the difference
between the federal capital gains rate and the top individual income tax rate — that difference is 19.6 percentage points.
Essentially, this is performance compensation – just like tips for a waiter or waitresses are performance compensation. But while
a waitress is obliged to pay full income tax on this money, a hedge fund manager isn’t.
A new 19.6 percent surtax on carried interest, if adopted by all the states, would generate $1.7 billion per year. Each one
percent of surtax would generate $89.5 million per annum nationwide. The Fiscal Policy Institute estimated in 2008 that 44% of
the earnings of private equity occurred in New York City.[7]

If we assume that holds true today, then a 2.5 percent surtax applied to hedge fund income that is not being taxed appropriately
at the federal level would generate $100 million per year for New York, repatriating lost revenue for use to fund schools and
essential public services here.
Problem: Non-resident hedge fund managers are dodging New York State income taxes on much of their income
The 2010 Executive Budget proposal proposed to “expand the nonresident personal income tax to include income received from
hedge fund management fees.” Currently, only a small portion of such income is taxed as compensation, with the remainder
deemed tax-free capital gains. This proposal would result in equal treatment of this income for residents and nonresidents, and
raise at least $50 million per year.
Problem: The “carried interest” loophole allows hedge funds to avoid many New York City business taxes
The City taxes a portion of the fees received by managing partners in private equity and hedge funds under its business tax
system but exempts a portion known as “carried interest” from taxation.
When a fund manager invests capital provided by a limited partner, they typically take a share of the profits from that investment.
That share is known as “carried interest,” and avoids City taxes.
Eliminating this loophole would put the taxation of private equity and hedge funds on the same footing as that of thousands of
smaller businesses.
The New York City Independent Budget Office has estimated that eliminating the carried interest exemption from the New York
City Unincorporated Business Tax would yield $200 million a year.[8]
Problem: Hedge funds and luxury real estate developers use “LLCs” (limited liability corporations) to solicit huge investments,
shield investors and limit taxation.
Some LLCs have huge amounts of New York State gross income — but they don’t pay their fair share in taxes and fees, unlike
the small-to-medium sized businesses that anchor most communities.
From 2003 to 2006, New York instituted a fair-share LLC fee structure, which was later replaced with a flat-fee structure that
allows hedge funds and speculative investment pools to avoid their fair share of the cost of public goods.
Since some LLCs have massive gross income, it would be fitting to apply roughly the same minimum taxes for other
corporations (i.e. the 9A corporate tax) to the LLC fee structure.
The current 9A structure includes a fixed-dollar minimum corporate tax for businesses with gross income of $500M-$1B at
$100,000, and for those with gross income > $1 B, the fixed dollar minimum tax is $200,000.
For 2015, DOB projects that the current LLC fee structure will generate $88 million. According to analysis by the Fiscal Policy
Institute, a fair-share fee structure is projected to generate approximately $600 million, or roughly $500 million more than the
existing fee structure.
Problem: Cuomo eliminated the corporate minimum tax
The business tax “reform” package enacted by Governor Cuomo in 2014 will cost the state $440 million or more annually in
reduced taxes when fully phased in.
Cuomo’s changes eliminated the capital base alternative tax (“corporate minimum tax”), which could result in some very large
corporations paying a miniscule amount of tax relative to the volume of business they conduct in New York – possibly including
hedge funds.
It should be restored and the cap increased to $25 million, to make sure big corporations doing business in New York pay at
least some taxes.
Problem: Multi-millionaires and billionaires with huge yearly personal incomes are paying a smaller share of their income in
state and local taxes than the middle class.
New York’s current “temporary” top income tax bracket is 8.82% for incomes of $2 million and over – and it is set to expire in
2017.
In 2010, there were about 3800 households filing taxes in New York with incomes at or over $10 million per year
A new 11% tax rate for this group would generate $1.7 billion per year in fair-share revenue for schools and services. Less than
half (47%) of those affected are full-year New York State residents – many are hedge fund managers with homes all around the
world
Instituting these new top rates would put the combined New York City and New York State top rate very close to the combined
rate for California and San Francisco, leaving Silicon Valley wealth and hedge fund/Wall Street wealth comparably taxed.
Problem: Wall Street trading firms making billions in profit and getting taxpayer subsidies
Right now, investments in buildings and equipment used by broker/dealers are eligible for an investment tax credit. The credit is
complex, subject to extensive recapture and concentrated among relatively few taxpayers, providing benefits to an extremely
affluent and limited segment of the financial services industry.
For the last year for which data is available only 28 filers used this credit.[9]
This reform was recommended by the Solomon/McCall Tax Reform and Fairness Commission and was also proposed by
Governor Cuomo in January 2014.[10]
Problem: Luxury Manhattan apartment owners from out of state or overseas that don’t live in their multi-million-dollar condos
but still get special tax breaks
This reform gives pied-a-terre owners a choice: live full-time in your apartments and get tax breaks, or don’t live in them full-time
and give up the breaks.
If each of the roughly 90,000 absentee-owner units in New York City were assigned a very modest average market value of $1.5
million each and a current tax assessment that – with 421a benefits, phase-in caps and improper assessments – equals about
one-quarter of the real market value of the unit.[11]

With these assumptions, a 1.1 per cent tax rate on true market value would produce more than $900 million in new city revenues
annually.
The Fiscal Policy Institute, using a similar analysis, has recommended that New York City introduce a graduated 4 percent tax
based on comparable sales for all absentee-owner units with a market value of more than $5 million; that proposal, which would
concentrate the tax burden on units worth more than $25 million, would bring in an estimated $250 million in new revenue every
year.[12]
The state STAR program recently instituted a similar ban on tax breaks for second homes.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Submit Letter from MBdB (and other mayors) on ideas for working groups on tax reforms.
- Could we get press around this?
Hatch, Wyden Launch New Effort to Seek Input on Bipartisan Tax Reform
Stakeholders and the Public Asked to Submit Ideas to Working Groups
WASHINGTON – Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) today announced
a bipartisan effort to begin soliciting ideas from interested members of the public and stakeholders on how best
to overhaul the nation’s broken tax code to make it simpler, fairer, and more efficient. The goal of this effort is to
provide additional input, data, and information to the Committee’s bipartisan tax working groups, which are
currently analyzing existing tax law and examining policy trade-offs and available reform options within each
group’s designated area.
“By opening up our bipartisan working groups to public input, we hope to gain a greater understanding of how tax policy affects
individuals, businesses, and civic groups across our nation,” Hatch and Wyden said. “In doing so, we will also
equip our working groups with valuable input, and we hope these suggestions will help guide the groups through
the arduous task of putting forth substantive ideas to reform the tax code in each of their areas.”
Individuals, businesses, organizations, and advocacy groups interested in submitting comments should send an email to the below
bipartisan group or groups that relates to their area of interest. Please send submissions to each group of
jurisdiction if an interest area covers more than one group.
Individual Income Tax - Individual@finance.senate.gov
Business Income Tax - Business@finance.senate.gov
Savings & Investment - Savings@finance.senate.gov
International Tax - International@finance.senate.gov
Community Development & Infrastructure - CommunityDevelopment@finance.senate.gov

Additional Submission Requirements:
· All submissions must be submitted as a pdf attachment. The attachment should be saved using the name of the
organization/individual submitting the recommendations.
· Parties should list the name of the tax working group they wish to contact in the subject line of the email.
· Please include contact name, organization (if the submission is being submitted on behalf of a group), phone number, and
email address, in the body of the email.
· Submissions will be accepted through April 15, 2015, and made public at a later date.
· If the above directions are not followed, the Committee reserves the right to not include the submission.
· If technical problems are incurred, parties can contact the Committee at 202-224-4515.
Each of the five bipartisan working groups is currently working to produce findings on current tax policy and legislative
recommendations within its area, with the goal of having recommendations from each of the five working groups
completed by the end of May. Submissions from stakeholders will be reviewed by the working groups and ideas
can be incorporated into the each working group’s final recommendations. The five working group
recommendations will be delivered to Chairman Hatch and Ranking Member Wyden, and will be considered in
developing bipartisan tax reform legislation.

Progressive Mayors Pull Aside
DESCRIPTION:
MBdB convenes group for 1-hour post dinner from 8 PM to 9 PM in conference room nearby to dinner location.
ATTENDEES:
Murray (Seattle)
Adler (Austin)
Hodges (Minneapolis)
Landrieu (New Orleans)
Tentative: Wharton (Memphis), Cownie (Des Moines) and Walsh generally reserves Sunday night for family night
though may be convinced to stay
VISION:
Mayor facilitates conversation among mayors that focuses on efforts to tackle income inequality, describes a few
examples, asks for opinions and ideas that folks are comfortable working on locally, and how they can potentially work
together on the national front. This is a low-key closed event with just an initial brainstorm to gauge interest and
enthusiasm that maybe can have some key takeaways to move the conversation forward in a more formalized way, to
build rapport with mayors in the room, and to enlist participants as partners in championing real solutions to income
inequality.
STAFF:
A staffer should in the room but only to take notes for future action and planning.
DESIRED OUTCOMES:
- Participants walk away with sense that their power as mayors isn’t limited to what they can do in municipality,
but that they can impact and should be leading voice in states and nationally. Send message that we will not
wait for Washington to act while our municipalities suffer, but that we will come up with ideas, enact them
locally while working on parallel track to change national policy as well.
- Conversation and agreement that they would help push for progressive taxation and other agreed upon issues.
- Participants agree to be part of ongoing working group to share ideas and plan action
- Agree on exploring opportunities for joint appearances in media to speak out on issues of importance to us
GUIDING QUESTIONS:
What powers do you have locally to change policies that help combat income inequality?
What are you doing locally on:
- Paid sick leave?
- Universal Pre-k and after school programs?
- Family leave?
How can we learn to lure companies that respect right to organize?
How are we increasing minimum wage at every level (local, state, federal)?
Can we agree we will call on major employers in our cities to raise minimum wage above current fed or
city minimum wage?
What other ideas do we have to lift the floor for working people?
What are the obstacles? What are the solutions to those obstacles?
How can we learn from each other?
ACTIONS:

- Possible outcomes are that they could agree to send comment to federal tax reform working groups jointly or
individually
- Mayors could invite each other to come to visit/ tour innovative programs in each of their home cities
- They could commission memo on areas of interest to discuss in a more formal way or panel at an upcoming
USCM conference or other gathering (San Francisco June 2015)
- A sign-on letter urging the President for executive action on an issue of joint interest (Examples: Raise
minimum wage for federal contractors to $15; give preference to companies that recognize right to organize)
- MBdB to offer to be a liaison to potentially get invitations to other mayors to attend Democracy Alliance
gatherings
- MBdB to offer staff to serve as liaison between innovative national think tanks (Campaign for America’s Future,
Economic Policy Institute, Center for America’s Progress, et al) that are producing good policy in order to help
us commission more municipally relevant reports on areas of interest
N.B.: We should not mention the gathering at Gracie Mansion to the mayors in the room since it is not open for
attendance
RESEARCH:
The following research contains a number of descriptions of progressive taxation initiatives, however we should focus
mainly on the following options:
Carried interest loophole (federal- need more research on this)
Mansion Tax (state)
Pied-à-terre tax (state)
Bad Business Fee (municipal)
TAKE EMMA’S TEMPERATURE WITH IF THIS IS OK?

Resources: Jobs with Justice, “Low Wages are Bad Business”. Liz Ryan Murray of National People’s action is the expert on this
issue: Liz@npa-us.org.
Policy: Mansion tax



Policy: Close Federal Carried Interest Loophole

Description: Close the “carried interest loophole” that lets hedge funds making billions in profits pay less in taxes than small
businesses in our local communities, and assure that hedge fund managers pay their fair share of taxes.
Details: Federal legislation to close the “carried interest” loophole is estimated to generate $17 billion dollars over ten
years, an average of $1.7 billion per year.[6]
When a hedge fund manager invests capital provided by a limited partner, they typically take a share of the profits
from that investment as a fee. That share is known as “carried interest.” This income should be subject to
taxation, the same as any other income – but it isn’t.
Lost revenue under the loophole is largely the result of taxing personal income derived from carried interest at the
difference between the federal capital gains rate and the top individual income tax rate — that difference is 19.6
percentage points.
Essentially, this is performance compensation – just like tips for a waiter or waitresses are performance
compensation. But while a waitress is obliged to pay full income tax on this money, a hedge fund manager isn’t.
A new 19.6 percent surtax on carried interest, if adopted by all the states, would generate $1.7 billion per
year. Each one percent of surtax would generate $89.5 million per annum nationwide. The Fiscal Policy Institute
estimated in 2008 that 44% of the earnings of private equity occurred in New York City.[7]
If we assume that holds true today, then a 2.5 percent surtax applied to hedge fund income that is not being taxed
appropriately at the federal level would generate $100 million per year for New York, repatriating lost revenue for
use to fund schools and essential public services here.
IN NYC: By defining a large portion of their massive income as “carried interest,” hedge fund managers avoid fair-
share taxes at the federal, state and local level in New York

Fromo - I know the AMG guys do video

Van Jones will try to be there, but it's hard on his

schedule. Asked if he could video conference in,
which I told him I wasn't comfortable with. That
being said, we should consider if there's any
reason video conferencing would be worth it for
him, Howard Dean, etc. I'm opposed, but worth
discussing

No problem, and that was/is the call out on IT's end...how's secure is this? How much can we

So far it’s either 1…or zero… It would be for Howard Dean - but not sure if the mayor is
going to want to do it for just one person or not (since it would be kind of disruptive to have
only one person video-conferencing into a live room) - but I will check - and I appreciate you
being ready just in case!

So far, no luck on a quality video conferencing for this meeting. I am working with a
Commissioner to see about partnership with Cisco who did something like you guys are

Trying to get it back again.

I spoke to his office since he is in the Bahamas.
He was just calling to let you know that they are working out sponsorship.
There is no need for you to call him back.
They will lock down an actual location on campus by the end of this week.

Sir,
I just wanted to make sure you knew that I had a great conversation with Molly McDonald today at
Santa Clara to discuss you speaking to the students. They couldn’t be more thrilled and honored.
Nothing too much to report, but the dates we are thinking in May seem to work so far.

We wanted to send a few more

details about the upcoming
meeting in New York City being
hosted by Mayor de Blasio.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MEMO

CONFIDENTIAL, AS IT IS
ONLY IN DRAFT FORM.
Below we have outlined some of

the logistical details, the

confirmed list of attendees, and a
discussion draft that lays out
some policies and goals for the
group to consider.
We’d love your feedback on the

discussion draft this week, if at all
possible. Let us know if there are
any questions or concerns about
the list of topics.
Logistical Details
Thursday, April 2 nd
from Noon to 2:30 PM
Gracie Mansion – 88 th
Street and East End Avenue,
NYC
GOAL
The event will be an opportunity

to exchange ideas and work
together to elevate progressive
economic issues into the national
conversation.
THE PROBLEM
Income inequality is the crisis of

our time.
Since the Great Recession ended,

the One Percent have seen their
real income grow by 35%. The
99 Percent have seen theirs grow
0.8%. Put another way, the One
Percent captured 91% of the real
income gains since 2009.

Our middle class is crumbling.
Millions of Americans are stuck in
poverty, slipping into poverty, or
just barely clinging onto their
spot in the middle class.
That must change.
THE CALL TO ACTION
We demand that those who lead

our nation – and those who seek
to lead it in the future – take a
stand. Declare your commitment
to a set of policies that will:
Rebuild the middle class.
Lift people out of poverty and into

the middle class.
Require those at the top to pay

their fair share.
THE FRAMEWORK
Right now, our economy is

working extremely well for big
multi-national corporations, Wall
Street banks, and super-wealthy
individuals who can afford high-
priced lobbyists to game the
system.
We demand a new approach,

using every available lever of
government to achieve it.

We need economic policies
that reward work, not just
wealth.
5 WAYS TO TACKLE INCOME

INEQUALITY RIGHT NOW
1. Lift the Floor for Working

People
· Raise the minimum wage.
· Require government
contractors to pay workers a
living wage.
· Call on businesses to raise

wages for all workers. (WAGE
TRACKER)
2. Promote Economic
Patriotism
· Block trade deals that

undermine American workers.
· Assess a Bad Business Fee

on companies that benefit from
American workers making wages
so low that they require public
assistance to be made whole.
· Give special preference in

awarding contracts to businesses
that recognize the right to
organize.
3. Support Working Parents
· Paid sick leave.

· Paid family leave.
· Expand Pre-K, after-school

programs, and childcare.
4. Tackle the Affordability

Crisis
· Require developers to build

affordable housing as a condition
of new development.
· Allow students to refinance

student loan debt.
· Invest in transportation and

infrastructure, to get people to
and from work more quickly,
more safely, and more affordably.
· Expand the Earned Income

Tax Credit.
5. Tax Fairness
· Close the carried interest

loophole, so wealthy money
managers don't pay a lower rate
than those who work in
manufacturing or the service
industry.
· Create a new top tax rate on

income earned above $1 million,
and another for income earned
over $1 billion.
· Repeal the income tax break

on capital gains so that
millionaires and billionaires aren’t
paying lower overall tax rates
that those who work 9 to 5.
· Eliminate the deferral on

corporate profits earned offshore.

Hey there –
I am talking to the Times this AM and would very much appreciate if you could squeeze in a call with
them later to say nice things.
I’m leaving City Hall/ going to Hilltop.
Plan to help show that you don’t have to be in NYC to be a progressive, get elected as a progressive
and govern effectively as a progressive.
With you guys from the beginning, worked my heart out, and will continue working on the outside
to help move our mission along.

Team- the Mayor of Tehran has requested an invite to World Cities. He’s not a war
criminal but he’s also not our ideal values buddy either (details below). That said, NYC
is hosting the World Cities Summit and I want to make sure we’re as inclusive as
possible (declining invitations quickly becomes a slippery slope). The invite would
come from Singapore and the Mayor would, obviously, not meet with him and we
can avoid any one-on-one photos.
If you have any objections, pls share. If I don’t hear from you by end of week, I’ll give
Singapore the go ahead to invite.
Thanks,
Penny

Shawanda Moore’s Title is House Attendant, she will manage meet/greet and close/departure as

Hi Aaron,
Just a final confirmation:
Shawanda Moore [ will meet Ms. Morrison when she arrives at the 88th St. &
East End Ave entrance to Gracie Mansion just before Noon. [What is Ms. Moore's
position/title?] Ms. Moore will attend Ms. Morrison through out her time at the venue and
make sure she is escorted back to her car when the meeting concludes or is there an
attendant?
Please make sure Ms. Moore knows where Ms. Morrison is to be seated during the event
and that there is enough room Does this meeting have a formal name? Is
this a lunch meeting?
I will forward the driver's name and mobile shortly.
Rene

Ok, now let's watch out for the tabloid trap, starting today or at tmrw's
avail: am I crying poverty? Am I just as bad as Hillary who said she was
"dead broke" when they left the White House? What ever happened to
the Tale of Two Cities? So let me help your thought process with some
truth, from which we can then sort out the answers to the inevitable
questions:
1. We have one child in college

2. We have another child going into college at institutions that cost in
total an average of $65,000 per year (yes that's $260,000 for 4 years).
3.
4.
5.
6. We feel very fortunate to have the resources we have. And our first
focus is providing for our children. But even with all the blessings we
have, the cost of college is daunting.
That's enough to get your minds going. If anyone has a way to frame this
properly, pls do before the day is out. Thanks

Sir,
I’m working with the Meet the Press producer and they are eager to lock for Sunday.
We, as a team, still recommend that you do the interview from the Blue Room given all the
upcoming travel and prep needs rather than doing it from D.C.
Other guests – Rand Paul (taped interview). Lineup still in motion. We’re jostling for good
positioning.
Please let me know your thoughts. They are eager to begin promoting tomorrow evening

x PrintA win by Jesús “Chuy” García in the Chicago mayor’s race this week would have sent a signal that the
progressive wing of the Democratic Party would be a decisive force in 2016, and that Hillary Clinton better do
what they want or get out of the way.
But Garcia lost. Big. And Rahm Emanuel, the combative former chief of staff to President Barack Obama who
spent the race being hammered for caring more about big donors from Big Business than unions or working
people, will be sworn in again next month for a second term as mayor.

Story Continued Below
To many Democrats, there are two possible lessons: First, that the professional left talks a much better game
than it delivers even as it starts to make big promises about the presidential race. And second, that focusing
voters on the progressive elements of a candidate’s record, as Emanuel did during his runoff, can blunt a
challenge from an ineffective opponent.

ANDREW RESTUCCIA
“Rahm Emanuel is a progressive mayor, period,” said Paul Begala, a longtime Bill Clinton adviser and a friend
of Emanuel who advises the pro-Hillary Clinton Priorities super PAC. “I don’t think people should say a right-
wing Democrat won. I think you’ve got to actually look at what he did and what he ran on.”
“That’s the lesson for Hillary Clinton: You can run comfortably on a progressive agenda and win,” Begala said.
Ben LaBolt, a former spokesman for both Emanuel and Obama, said progressive groups tried to assert
themselves but ignored Emanuel’s record on everything from raising the minimum wage to expanding
community college access, efforts that have become a partial model for the White House.
“There was a roadshow of national progressive groups that came into Chicago and tried to use the race to send a
message about the issues and messages they cared about, but in some ways, they misjudged the race,” LaBolt
said. “For all the discussion there’s been about ideological warfare within the party, ultimately it’s more of the
bread-and-butter issues that affect people’s lives that are going to determine their vote.”
The progressive groups that got involved in the race disagree about Emanuel’s record. But they insist they
showed themselves and their agenda to be just as powerful losing to Emanuel as if they’d won.
“The headline would have been unmistakable and the clarity would have certainly been there,” said Jim Dean,
chairman of Democracy for America, which weighed in heavily for García. But “if any of these campaigns had
anybody on the ground in Chicago and seen the level of energy around Chuy’s campaign and around the
aldermen who were running, they would understand this.”

Instead its “populist groundswell gave Chuy García a fighting chance,” as Reclaim Chicago of the National
People’s Action Campaign put it Tuesday night.
García was, at best, an imperfect messenger for progressives: Unlike Bill de Blasio who became a national
progressive hero by winning a much different New York City mayor’s race in 2013, García was often short on
both policy detail and political skill. De Blasio took heat for pledging to raise taxes on the rich for his ideas.
García repeatedly ducked questions of how he’d pay for his.
The Chicago runoff never got close enough for Obama to seriously consider a last-minute visit to push his
former chief of staff over the top, according to a White House aide. Instead, Emanuel’s campaign spent millions

on an image-softening push that closed with a final commercial of the mayor, sporting an open-collar shirt and
with soft piano music playing in the background, touting his all-day kindergarten program and the new jobs he
brought to all neighborhoods — and acknowledging he could try being a better person himself.
Although a presidential race will mean everyone’s paying a lot more attention to every position Clinton takes
and every element of her record, she’s not expected to have a progressive primary opponent such as Elizabeth
Warren to draw off votes. Unlike Emanuel, she’ll also have a Republican opponent, one elected out of a field
that’s sure to produce a candidate progressives won’t be able to stand and will rally against even if their hearts
aren’t with Clinton.
That’s not the only difference.
“She doesn’t have the problem that he does — the ‘asshole’ factor,” said a Democratic strategist familiar with
both the Emanuel and de Blasio campaigns. “If I were Hillary Clinton looking at Chicago, I would say Rahm
found himself in trouble largely because of personality clashes, and he survived because he was laser-focused
on making his campaign an expression of his progressive successes.”
But it’s clear that progressives are less than enthusiastic about Clinton, and unions and other lefty groups are
likely to start popping off soon about how this really might be the year when they’ll sit out, or vote for someone
else.
“This is a new era. There is a much more progressive bench of this party, and the energy of this party is in the
progressive party. That is going to be the key to voter turnout and voter engagement in 2016,” Dean said.
But as one measure, Dean’s brother, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, endorsed García but has already
endorsed Clinton. De Blasio is taking pains to stay close to her.
García’s 43 percent “even as he was dramatically outspent and despite the challenges he faced shows the power
of the idea that government and the economy should work for everyone, not just those at the top,” said Nick
Berning, communications director of MoveOn.org. “The lesson elected officials should draw from Chicago is
that they ignore this hunger at their peril.”
Begala said he’s not concerned. If anything, he thinks Democrats should come out of Chicago feeling good
about the unity within the party that produced a low-impact challenger for Emanuel and a seemingly
untouchable front-runner for president, unlike the giant ideological rifts that Republican 2016 candidates are
trying to navigate.
ALSO ON POLITICO
“It’s really hard for people to confront this reality,” Begala said, “but Democrats are in array.”

Key Messages
I. There’s no two ways about it: we have an economic crisis in this country. We have a country
that is losing its middle class. Working families struggling to put food on the table, pay their

mortgage, raise their kids. The issue of income inequality is a profound threat to this country
and its future – that we are experiencing growing divisions that must be addressed.

II. If you’re going to reduce the income gap, you need two things:
1) more investment in programs and policies that lift the floor for working people (paid sick leave,
$15 min wage, child care) and
2) more revenue from those at the very top – millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations
(close carried interest loophole, put a 5% surcharge on income earned over a million bucks, etc).

III. This presidential election we need blunt talk and real solutions. The candidate who makes this
election about income inequality, the real struggles in people’s lives, and provides the solution
will be the winner.

progressive agenda.
DAY/DATE: Sunday, April 12
EVENT TIME: 9 AM hour
MBDB TIME: 8:30 arrival

9:00 a m in chair
LOCATION: 30 Rockefeller; Global Media studio #3 on the 6th floor

EVENT PROGRAM:
MBDB INTRODUCED BY: CHUCK TODD
In this 6 minute interview (no commercial breaks), YOU will be asked about income
inequality, the progressive agenda, the state of the Democratic Party, and the race for
the White House
Other potential topics: NYPD/ Community Policing/ Walter Scott
Interview Goals:
1) Force a deeper discussion and debate about progressive issues/ income
inequality – can’t just be a buzz word, need to see candidate action to be
successful
2) Pivot quickly from personality- type questions back to larger progressive agenda
frame

Key Messages
I. There’s no two ways about it: we have an economic crisis in this country.
We have a country that is losing its middle class. Working families
struggling to put food on the table, pay their mortgage, raise their kids.
The issue of income inequality is a profound threat to this country and its
future – that we are experiencing growing divisions that must be
addressed.
The country is headed in a very dangerous direction. We’re becoming ever more
divided. We have now worse income inequality than at the time of the stock
market crash in 1929. If we don’t address it, we will look up in a few years and
wonder why we didn’t see the warning signs.
II. If you’re going to reduce the income gap, you need two things:
1) more investment in programs and policies that lift the floor for working
people (paid sick leave, $15 min wage, child care) and
2) more revenue from those at the very top – millionaires, billionaires, and
wealthy corporations (close carried interest loophole, put a 5% surcharge
on income earned over a million bucks, etc).
We need sensible reforms like closing the carried interest loophole, which hedge
fund titans use to pay a lower tax rate than someone who works 9 to 5. It’s the
moral thing to do – and we need the money to help pay for child care and Pre-K
and the other things working parents need.
If you’re serious about reducing the gap between millionaires and billionaires and
everybody else in America, the math is the math. If we’re going to rebuild the
middle class, those at the top are going to have to pay a little more.
In government – particularly state and local government – you’ve gotta balance

the budget. There are no secret pots of money. So if you don't wanna rob Peter
to pay Paul, that means some folks will have to pony up.
There’s no reason that a multi-millionaire sitting by the pool at their beach house
should be paying a lower rate of taxes than the woman who cleans their
home. It’s about rewarding work, and not just wealth.

We need sensible reforms like closing the carried interest loophole, which hedge
fund titans use to pay a lower tax rate than someone who works 9 to 5. It’s the
moral thing to do – and we need the money to help pay for child care and Pre-K
and the other things working parents need.
III. This presidential election we need blunt talk and real solutions. The
candidate who makes this election about income inequality, the real
struggles in people’s lives, and provides the solution will be the winner.
In the 2014 cycle, Democrats did not speak bluntly about it—and they paid the
price. That is the lesson.
They did not honestly say to the people of this country, here's a crisis and we're
going to do very specific things about it. We're going to be willing to take on those
who are wealthy and ask them to do their fair share. We're going to be willing to
take on corporations that are not being fair to their workers.
INEQUALITY STATISTICS
x We have now worse income inequality than at the time of the stock market crash
in 1929.
x In America, the wealthiest 160,000 families own as much wealth as the poorest
145 million families
x According to OxFam, by next year, the top one percent in the world will possess
more wealth than the bottom 99 percent.
x Between 2009 and 2012 overall income per family grew 6.9 percent. The gains
weren’t shared evenly, however. The top 1 percent saw their real income grow by
34.7 percent while the bottom 99 percent only saw a 0.8 percent gain, meaning
that the 1 percent captured 91 percent of all real income.
“Real Stories” of New Yorkers Who Have Struggled with the Effects of Rampant Income
Inequality, but Who Have Been Helped by Bold, Progressives Policies in NYC
Leonardo Hernandez –
x Car wash worker in Queens whom I met last year
x He told me that he was literally unable to take a day off if he or a family member
fell ill because he simply couldn’t afford to lose a single day’s pay. So no matter
how sick he’s been, how cold it is, he literally didn’t have the right to take a day
off.
x But now, thanks to a paid sick leave policy that we’ve instituted here in New York
City, Leonardo now enjoys these protections. And those are the kinds of changes

that can make a dent in income inequality nationally if our political leaders have
the will and vision to tackle this head-on.
Delnaye [del-NYE] Cadogan–
x Caribbean American security guard and father of three from Brooklyn whom I
met last summer
x His daughter, Odianne, was offered a seat in full-day pre-k at P.S. 203 (the Floyd
Bennett School)
x For fathers all across the country like Delnaye struggling to make ends meet for
their families, policies like full-day pre-k make a world of a difference and help
ease the burdens that working parents are facing each and every day.
Six minutes with Chuck Todd
Welcome to the show.
1) So, everyone is buzzing about Hilary announcing her candidacy. You were her
campaign manager, what type of a candidate do you think she is and will she be this
time around?
[NOTE—In 2000, you said, But her strategists say it's even more imperative for her
to do meets-and-greets than for the average politician. Hand-to-hand campaigning,
they said, humanizes her and gives her the opportunity to counter the portrayal of
her as aloof and arrogant and feeling entitled to be senator." She likes to literally
shake every hand in the room, if possible. It's her style," said campaign manager
Bill de Blasio.]
- Immense respect. Often say my life has been influenced most deeply by 2
Wesley women- one I married and one I worked for
- No harder worker out there. Saw that in 2000, 2008 and certainly will see it if she
runs
- But what I would say to her—and any candidate for that matter—is that this
election will be won by the candidate that has an honest conversation with the
American people about income inequality, the growing gap between the ultra-rich
and the middle class and working people, and provides real solutions – paid sick
leave, minimum wage, higher taxes for those that can afford it. We are losing
our middle class in this country.
- If we don’t address it now, we will look up in a few years and wonder why we
didn’t see the warning signs.

2) In 2000, you said your role was to, “bring more focus to the campaign, to provide it
with a single point of coordination and leadership.” Is that one of her challenges, lack
of coordination? And do you think this team will be different than 2008 team? Can
she reinvent herself? What do you think will be her biggest challenges?
- Look she hasn’t announced her candidacy yet, so I don’t want to get into the
personalities.
- For any candidate it is about really listening to the American people and finding
the solutions folks are yearning for. We have now worse income inequality than
at the time of the stock market crash in 1929.
- In the 2014 cycle, Democrats did not speak bluntly about it—and they paid the
price. They did not honestly say to the people of this country, here's a crisis and
we're going to do very specific things about it.
- We know solutions exist and work – Paid Sick Leave in NYC, raising the
minimum wage
3) Are you going to endorse Hillary? Do you think progressives will get behind her?
- I’m not going to talk about specific personalities. All I’m saying is that anyone
hoping to lead the American people – up and down the ballot – must have a plan
to combat income inequality that’s based in progressive principles.
4) Has she discussed her campaign with you/ Have you talked with her? [Your wife was
just with her, right?] If you haven’t, why is that? Was she invited to your recent
Confab?
- We have not discussed her campaign directly.
- I’ve had several discussions with her over the last few months, and she knows
where I stand on how best to tackle the economic challenges we face.
- But my advice to her would the same to any candidate --- we need a real
conversation about income inequality and solutions to lift more people up.
- That means, 1) more investment in programs and policies that lift the floor for
working people (paid sick leave, $15 min wage, child care) and 2) more revenue
from those at the very top – millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations
(close carried interest loophole, put a 5% surcharge on income earned over a
million bucks, etc).
5) What does HRC need to say to you to convince you she is running a progressive
campaign? What do you need to see/ hear to make sure that “income inequality” isn’t

just the campaign buzz phrase? [ VARIATION - In your op-ed, you said, “This year,
too many Democratic candidates lost sight of those core principles -- opting instead
to clip their progressive wings in deference to a conventional wisdom that says bold
ideas aren't politically practical.” What would you advise presidential candidates from
either party?]
- Lots of talk about “income inequality”. Even seeing very conservative candidates
use it. But, the income gap has favored the one percent over the 99 percent
since 2009
- The proof is in the pudding--- what policy prescriptions will they support.
- We know solutions exist and work – Paid Sick Leave in NYC, raising the
minimum wage, closing tax loopholes
- Nationally, we need sensible reforms like closing the carried interest loophole,
which hedge fund titans use to pay a lower tax rate than someone who works 9
to 5. It’s the moral thing to do – and we need the money to help pay for child
care and Pre-K and the other things working parents need.
6) When you say that the income gap has favored the One Percent over the 99
Percent since 2009 – isn’t that a direct indictment of President Obama?
Should he have done more to help the non-rich?
- President Obama has made great efforts to close the income gap.
- Some have called ObamaCare one of the greatest social programs aimed at
reducing income inequality since the New Deal. There was the stimulus, which
greatly expanded the EITC. And there was his success in raising the top
marginal tax rate to where it was when Bill Clinton left office.
- What the income inequality statistics tell us is this: we need to be even more
aggressive lifting the floor for working people, and that has to include a greater
contribution by those at the very top.
7) You recently announced a Progressive Agenda contract --- will you make her sign it?
Was it meant to send a message to Hillary?
- We’re asking all candidates to commit to these principles because they are three
things: 1) real solutions to income inequality; 2) feasible ideas; 3) resonant with
millions of Americans who are desperate for leadership on these economic
matters.
8) Are you disappointed Elizabeth Warren isn’t running? Is there any candidate you can
get behind right now?
- Look I don’t discuss candidates until they run and I review their platform

- What I’m looking for in a candidate is a real commitment to tackling the greatest
challenge of our time – income gap that is leaving so many families behind.
9) Mayor Rahm Emanuel just beat a progressive candidate. Governor Cuomo is not
known as a “progressive” yet is popular. What does that say to you about the
electability of candidates running on a progressive platform?
- Every race is different, but it doesn’t reflect on the broader progressive

discussion that is happening at dinner tables around the country
- What you hear is real discussion about issues--- minimum wage, immigration,
higher taxes on the wealthy to support education, etc.
- Candidates didn’t run on that in 2014 and paid the price. Need to heed that
warning.
10) Noticed you will be in Iowa this week, are you thinking about a run in the future
particularly if you don’t hear the types of things you want to hear this election cycle?
[VARIATION - The NYS GOP Chair said YOU would beat HRC in a primary.
- As much as I enjoy getting political advice from the GOP Chair – let me be clear:
I’m not running for president. That’s my Sherman-esque answer. We just want
these policies to be implemented.
- I’m focused on being Mayor of the greatest City in the U.S.
- [If pushed – already stated my intentions to run for re-election. Like my current
day job]
11) Turning to recent events in South Carolina—Mr. Mayor in the wake of the Eric
Garner tragedy, you announced that NYPD would be piloting body cameras. In your
opinion do body cameras make a difference in police/ community relations? Are they
a deterrent? Are they good tool for seeing the full picture?
- Hopeful, but not conclusive. Important in terms of accountability, transparency,
improved community/relations
- But need to be used in combination with training, which is equally important—
learning to de-escalate conflict,
Other Q & A
Q. Is this a betrayal (that you haven’t endorsed yet)?

A. Absolutely not. In fact, it would be phony & a betrayal of Bill de Blasio’s principles if
we endorsed a 2016 campaign - any campaign, at any level - without first hearing a
REAL plan to address the central issue of our time - income inequality. And that real
plan must include higher taxes on the rich.

Q. What about endorsing Cuomo in 2014? We didn’t make him embrace higher
taxes. Why are we being so tough on HRC.
A. 2014 is in the rear-view mirror now. We’re not going to revisit. And/but the inspiration
for the national movement of progressives towards addressing income inequality really
came to a head after Nov 2014 - when Dems ran away from progressive
positions/accomplishments & paid a stiff price at the polls as a result. We don’t want to
see a repeat of that. Backbone Politics is now not just an option; it’s a requirement.
Q: Is Iowa, Nebraska meant to send a message to Hillary?

A: It’s meant to send a message to elected officials and candidates for every office,
up and down the ballot, in both parties: to tackle income inequality, we must implement
progressive policies.
Q: Did you weigh in with Hillary about this?

A: I’ve had several discussions with her over the last few months, and she knows
where I stand on how best to tackle the economic challenges we face. I won’t get into
specifics.
Q: Is Hillary Clinton too close to Wall Street? Too centrist? Or is she a “real
progressive?”
A: Again, I’m not getting into specific personalities. This is about a set of issues.
And what matters to this group is that those who seek to lead, up and down the ballot,
embrace these principles.
Q: Could you see yourself supporting Martin O’Malley? He agrees with you on
a lot of this stuff.
A: Policies. Not Personalities.
Q: What happens if a candidate or elected official doesn’t endorse The

Progressive Agenda? Will you all campaign against them?
A: We’re asking them to commit to these principles because they are three things:
1) real solutions to income inequality; 2) feasible ideas; 3) resonant with millions of
Americans who are desperate for leadership on these economic matters.
Q: Grover Norquist makes conservative candidates and elected officials sign a

no-tax pledge – and he strongly backs those who do, while punishing those who
do not. Is that what you’re trying to replicate?
A: It’s not about the backing or non-backing from folks up here. It’s about the
people we represent – progressive across the country. And to motivate those
Americans – to get them on their feet, activated, and encouraged to support a candidate
or elected official – they need to know that the candidate or elected official is with them
on these core issues.

Q: Even if you continue to have a Democratic White House, you’ll likely have a
Republican Congress. How can any of this get done?
A: This isn’t just about the White House and Congress. BUT, I will say this. There
are those who see divided government & believe that nothing but the most watered-
down measures can get support. I don’t believe that. If you push hard enough, organize
aggressively enough, and make it front-and-center in the national conversation,
politicians who might ordinarily be afraid to be bold will suddenly see that it’s not just
“okay” to have a backbone. It’s an existential requirement.
Q: Aren’t you concerned that candidates or elected officials will look at all the
taxes you’re proposing here & say “Geez, I don’t want an attack ad run by the
Koch Brothers saying I support trillions in higher taxes.”
A: Here’s the hard truth. If you’re going to reduce the income gap, you need two
things: 1) more investment in programs and policies that lift the floor for working people;
and 2) more revenue from those at the very top – millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy
corporations. There’s no secret pot of money. And if you’re going to be serious about
investing in programs that help the 99 Percent, then the One Percent has to be willing to
help foot the bill.
Q: How does this help the people of New York City? Are you getting outside
the realm of your Day Job?
A: The fact is, we are doing many of these things at the city level. We’re trying to do
some at the state level. Others only make sense at the federal level. We shouldn’t silo
government into city or state or federal. People don’t look at their government like that.
They know that the people they put into public office have to work together, at all levels
of government, to achieve real change. And there’s so much more that we can do to lift
the lives of working people here in NYC if we have support from across the country and
in Washington.
MEET THE PRESS QUESTIONS FOR OTHER GUESTS
Questions for Bernie Sanders–– September 14, 2014
“Are you about to switch parties? Are you going to become a member of the Democratic
Party if you pursue this presidential campaign?”
“And you’ve – it sounds like you’ve ruled out running as an independent or you have
not? You could end up doing it that way?”
“I want to read something that was paraphrased to you, it says, “‘It is essential,’ Sanders
said, ‘to have someone in the 2016 presidential campaign who is willing to take on Wall
Street, address the collapse of the middle class, tackle the spread of poverty, and

fiercely oppose cuts to social security and MediCare.’” Is it safe to say if you thought
Hillary Clinton were doing that, you wouldn’t be considering this?”
“But you say you’re, you’re, separating out—are you separating out Hillary Clinton from
this? If she were speaking more robustly on these issues, would you be thinking about
running?”
“Uh, I hear you, it’s uh—rail against this, and I think: Boy, you must be unhappy with
President Obama. So you believe he—you believe he’s been right on most of his ideas.
You just don’t believe he has, uh, pushed them hard enough?”
“Let me ask you on that billionaire front: Is there such thing as a – If a billionaire agrees
with you on issues are you okay with them participating in the process? Or do you think
this entire process, whether it’s Tom Steyer or Michael Bloomberg or the Koch
brothers?”
“Alright. You’re headed to Iowa. I guess I’m going to ask it this way about the Democratic
Party today. Do you think the Democratic Party is open to a progressive like you? Do
you think the Democratic Party is closer to where you are? Or closer to where the
Clintons are?”
“Where’s the Democratic Party today? Closer to you or closer to Hillary?”
Questions for Various Mayors–– December 7, 2014
“Confidence in the legal system after Ferguson, after Staten Island, has it increased or
decreased? In this case, both whites and blacks say their confidence in the legal system
has decreased. Whites 35% say it's decreased, with blacks, 70%. Mayor Reed, the
Atlanta Police Department, do you feel that they treat blacks and whites the same or
differently in your city?”
“Mayor Nutter, I think there's another debate here that was interesting. A conservative
columnist John Podhoretz, openly wondered, "Is it time to move on from the broken-
windows style of policing?" Right? And broken-windows style of policing was back there
in the '90s, and this is what he wrote.
…The meaning is that maybe the way to police petty crimes should change. Do you
believe that?”
“Quickly, Mr. Ramsey, how do you keep bias out of the Philadelphia police force?”
“Mayor Reed, you ready for Hillary?”
“What do you think of Jeb Bush's authenticity there, Rick? He's basically saying, "Look,
I'm going to stay who I am. You may not agree with me," in some ways. Basically he's
saying, "You don't agree with me on immigration and common-core conservatives, but

I'm not going to placate you on those two issue.””
Questions for Mayor Michael Nutter– March 23, 2014
“Michael though, you're looking at this, no doubt, from the point of view of the President's
domestic agenda. Going to the issues that you're dealing with as a mayor every day.
You look at a foreign policy crisis taking more and more time and effort away. Do you
worry about it impacting President Obama's leadership in other areas?”
“Mayor, are you proud of this [Affordable Care] law?”
Questions for Cory Booker–– August 25, 2013
“You told this to the Huffington Post a couple of years ago. "I'm so frustrated," you say,
"when I see how difficult it is to get people to take relatively simple steps, proven to
make a difference. Not to take a freedom ride, not to march against club and gas-
wielding state troopers, not to storm beaches in Normandy or Iwo Jima, but just to take
small, increased steps of service that along with others, doing the same, could make a
significant difference." A lack of activism and polarized politics. That's a wicked
combination.”
“It is interesting. You talk about the income inequality as the lasting legacy of a dream
unfulfilled. You're the Mayor of Newark. Unemployment there is over 13%. It's endemic
in a lot of our cities, we have that kind of failure. And a lot of critics would say, a lot of
democratic leadership there. These are really hard things. Why have you not been able
to make more progress in this particular area?”
“So take it to Washington. If you're a senator, how would you forge compromise in
modern-day Washington over the tension of spending restraint and necessary
improvements to lessen inequality?”
“I’ve got just a couple seconds left. But I think it's a special part of our discussion this
morning. We look at your parents, two of the early executives at IBM, first African
American, black executives there. What does their journey tell you about the American
dream?”
Questions for Rand Paul— January 26, 2014
“You have questioned the president's moral leadership at points along the way. Is there
an area where you feel you can work in common cause with him this year?”
“The future of the Republican Party and, frankly, your place in it is a big story. Just this
morning, the front page of The New York Times has this headline: "Rand Paul's Mixed
Inheritance: Senator Looks to Move Libertarianism from the Fringe to the Mainstream."

How big of a hurdle is this for you, if you're going to run for president?”
“But it's interesting, the role of government, you've often referred to the tyranny of the
federal government. So, again, it comes down to mainstream versus extreme. Fellow
Republican, and maybe he's one that will run against you for the Republican nomination,
Ted Cruz has described your strident libertarianism of your father as an issue that will
always be a shadow over anything you try to do.”
Asked about Edward Snowden
“Let me ask you more about some of the debates within the Republican Party. …My
question, about whether you think it's appropriate for the party, key figures in the party,
to be talking about women, women's health, women's bodies, and the role of the federal
government related to those things?”
Final political question for you. Whoever the Republican nominee is, there's a good
chance, as we look at it now, that one candidate on the Democratic side who'll have a lot
of momentum, whether she gets the nomination or not we don't know, is Hillary Clinton.
And an interesting profile in Vogue magazine, including this analysis. "While her
husband jokes," meaning you, "that his gut feeling is that Hillary Clinton will not run for
president is good a thing since all the polls show her trouncing any opponent, Kelley, the
wife of Senator Rand Paul practically cuts him off to say that, 'Bill Clinton's relationship
with Monica Lewinsky should complicate his return to the White House, even as first
spouse. I would say his behavior was predatory, offensive to women,' she tells me."
Are these issues something that you really think will be fair game and an appropriate
part of a campaign, should she be the nominee?”
Questions for Paul Ryan–– February 1, 2015
Asked about Mitt Romney not running for president

Asked if he would be Vice Prez
“In your book, you wrote this: "You've got to be willing to take criticism even from your
friends and trust that the people will understand that governing requires tradeoffs." You
sounded like somebody that wanted to make a deal with the president right up to the
State of the Union, one of the few Republicans that didn't criticize his State of the Union.
Does that mean you are ready to be a compromiser with the president when it comes to
tax reform?”
Asked about tax code reform as method for change
“Let's get into some specifics. A couple of the tax cuts that the president's proposing for
middle class families include expanding the earned income tax credit. This would be for
working families actually that don't have kids. Childless adults, yes. And then expanding
the childcare tax credit. What do you think of those?”

“You know the full budget comes later this week. When do you put out a tax plan? When
should we expect one from you?”
“Now, got a little graphic here, December 12th, unemployment rate, 7.9%, stagnant
GDP, Dow sitting at barely 13,000. Look where we are two years later. Unemployment at
5.6%. GDP, 2.6%. Not as much as some people would like. The Dow up 5,000 points. Is
that the definition of an economic policy that hasn't been working?”
“Do you think the Netanyahu thing, do you think that this was sort of getting involved in
foreign policy in a way that maybe the legislative branch shouldn't have done that to
begin with?”
Questions for Eric Holder–– January 11, 2015
“Would you say the United States is at war with radical Islam?”
“Now it seems that according to various sources we have here, that the United States
warned France that these two brothers in particular had gotten training in Yemen nearly
five years ago. Is this an intelligence breakdown that happened in France or a law
enforcement resource issue? Because they can't follow everybody?”
Asked about al Qaeda, surveillance, David Petraeus
Questions for Marco Rubio–– December 21, 2014
Asked about Cuba policy
“The president of the United States this week signed new sanctions against a, quote
unquote, "Left-wing dictatorship," of authoritarian regime in Venezuela. So, you know,
isn't there a contradiction in your attack there? I mean he is sanctioning a, quote
unquote, "Left-wing dictatorship" in Venezuela. Obviously, with Cuba, he's trying to
change the policy.”
“I want to get you to react to a fellow Republican Senator of yours, Rand Paul of
Kentucky. He sent you a series of tweets, I will roll them on the screen, about his support
for lifting of the embargo versus your criticism of the lifting of the embargo. And he has
various questions here, "If it doesn't hurt Cuba, why do you want to keep it?" And
essentially calling you the isolationist. What do you say to Senator Paul?”
“Can you imagine running in the same Republican primary as Jeb Bush?”

Clinton’s ‘go small’ strategy carries risks and rewards

The risks and rewards of Hillary Clinton’s early “go small” strategy… Answering the
process question but not the message question… Not taking anything for granted… Hillary by
the numbers in our NBC/WSJ and NBC/Marist polling… O’Malley repeats his “I think the
presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth between two families”… Republican
2016ers gather in Nashville at the NRA’s annual convention… Why Rand Paul is in Iowa –
and not in Nashville… And Hillary steps on Rubio’s rollout.

A couple of others:
Is this really about you just building a national name & “brand” for yourself?
Since she wasn’t an announced candidate at the time of your MTP interview, didn’t you
violate your own rule about not commenting on candidates who are not yet candidates?
Is this all part of a plan to cover Hillary’s left flank?
Is this all part of a plan to make your endorsement more meaningful/make you a
“kingmaker?”
In 2013, HRC said you always had her back. Do you feel like that’s changed now - that you
only have her back when it’s convenient for you?
Anthony Weiner said she was progressive when you were still smoking pot at NYU. How do
you respond? (DON’T TAKE THE BAIT.)
Mark Green suggests that this is all about ego. True? (DON’T TAKE THE BAIT.)
Bruce Gyory (sp?) said that you tried to make yourself relevant in the debate & you failed
miserably. What do you think?

By Rob Dapore
NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio made quite the stir over the weekend when he wouldn't endorse
Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. He makes a very strong point, and if she was smart,
Hillary should seriously listen to what he's saying if she hopes to win in 2016.
Speaking on meet the press, when asked if the mayor would endorse Hillary, Bill Deblasio
made this statement (which really shouldn't have been that much of a shock):
"I think like a lot of people in this country I want to see a vision. And, again, that would
be true of candidates on all levels. It's time to see a clear, bold vision for progressive
economic change".
and when asked if that means he wouldn't endorse her, he said
"No, not until I see -- and, again, I would say this about any candidate -- until I see an
actual vision of where they want to go".

Much ado has been made about how the mayor, who reportedly is a good friend of the
Clintons, would not instinctively come out automatically supporting her. Pundits say that
the mayor is sticking to his progressive stance that just won't play in the rest of the
country. But this isn't a case of being leftist or liberal or progressive. There's a huge
segment of the country that wants certain policies which are just plain populist. Will she
come out for a cleaner environment? Equal rights for women including women's health
care? A plan for upgrading our infrastucture? A path for immigrants? How can she
improve the Affordable Healthcare Act? And maybe most importantly, will she stand up
for Frank - Dodd and Glass-Steagel and stand up to the banks?
She needs to come out swinging and clearly make her stance on these issues. Nothing
will turn off voters than hearing it's the same ol same ol. She needs to excite the base
and not take populists for granted. Kudos to the mayor for doing the right thing.

to each other?
<HV ZH GR
But however, now it gets a little tougher. You just said, and quite rightly, that,
you know, you worked for them, you have a loyalty to them, and “you can
consider this an endorsement.” However, dark music, Bill de Blasio, who also
fit those very categories, did not endorse them, what do you make of that?

Ok, now that brings us to the next person who you might see as an offender,
and that is the president himself, who has sent somebody out front to say, you
know, he’s not making a formal endorsement because there are other people
who may want to declare. What do you think of that?

the senior Senator from OH and a staunch advocate for banking reform. As a follow
up to the confab, Sen. Brown’s staff sent the below info re: overtime regulations
The White House is having very high level meetings on the overtime
regulations.
it is critical it is that the salary threshold be at least $55,000.
Any salary threshold lower than that will continue to exempt too many workers
from overtime regulations.

At the confab he focused on:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PARTY:
x Background on Party
o The Iowa Democratic Party is dedicated to promoting Democratic
principles across the state of Iowa and electing qualified and dedicated
candidates at all levels of government.
o Iowa Democrats have a proud tradition of fighting for an economy built
from the middle out, equal rights and the idea that our strength draws from
the connections we share. I’m honored and excited to help lead the next
chapter in that effort alongside our great Democratic elected officials,
partners and supporters across the state.
o 2015-2016 brings a real opportunity to build on Democrats’ gains in Des
Moines and Washington, D.C. not just to say we won an election, but to
expand educational and job opportunities for all Iowans.
x Jobs and Economy
o Iowa’s unemployment rate remains well below the national average and
Democrats want to keep it that way by maintaining resources that help
businesses find employees and help individuals find the right job for them.
o Rather than only protecting the large businesses and corporations as the
Republicans were trying to do, Democrats want to give Iowa’s small
businesses a break through a tax credit that would lower taxes for most
small business property to the residential rate. This would help grow
Iowa’s local economic structure and actually keep profits in Iowa instead
of sending them out of state which is seen with big business.
x Education
o Years of research show that there are long-term benefits to attending
preschool, including academic and financial success. According to a 2005
MIT study:
o High-quality early childhood education helps prepare young children
to succeed in school and become better citizens; they earn more, pay
more taxes, and commit fewer crimes.
o Every dollar invested in quality early care and education saves taxpayers up to
$13.00 in future costs.
o The early care and education industry is economically important—often much
larger in terms of employees and revenues than other industries that receive
considerable government attention and investment.
o Failing to invest sufficiently in quality early care and education shortchanges
taxpayers because the return on investment is greater than many other
economic development options.
o Access to available and affordable choices of early childhood learning
programs helps working parents fulfill their responsibilities.
o Quality early education is as essential for a productive 21st century workforce
as roads or the internet; investing in it grows the economy.
x Healthcare
o On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama, with the help of Iowa’s
Democratic Congressmen, signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care

Act – one of the most significant laws to be passed in decades. The GOP
immediately cried “Armageddon!” (no, really) and has vowed to repeal it.
o If the Affordable Care Act were to be repealed, Iowans could expect to see:
o 57,216 small businesses get a tax increase.
o 713,155 children excluded from coverage based on a pre-existing
condition.
o 43,100 senior citizens suffer an increase in prescription drug costs as
the Medicare “donut hole” is opened back up.
o 247,000 young adults be dropped from their parent’s health care
coverage.
o 788,000 families getting their taxes increased.
x Marriage Equality
o Iowa Democrats stand with Iowa’s LGBT community and unequivocally
supports marriage equality. The Varnum v Brien decision by Iowa’s Supreme
Court crossed ideological lines and stated clearly that denying Iowa’s LGBT
citizens the right to marry whomever they wish violated Iowa’s
Constitution. Any amendment to Iowa’s Constitution that would discriminate
against our LGBT friends should be opposed.
o During this legislative season, Democrats protected the rights of the LGBT
community by blocking bills pushed by Governor Branstad and the
Republicans such as their discrimination bill which would’ve allowed
business owners to refuse any services to people whose marriage they didn’t
agree with. This would have allowed direct discrimination against same-sex
couples if Democrats had not immediately blocked the proposal.

I strongly think we should attack here and say this will be a mistake for working people, for the
nation and for the party. And we don't have enough info in the public debate to even know the
consequences. This should be stopped and slowed. Dom and I just spoke and he can help with our

IMMIGRATION RIGHTS MOVEMENT ROUNDTABLE
AREAS TO EXPLORE:
- Taking local action together; amplifying with allies across the country
- Making implementation meaningful for future organizing
- Using this moment to examine how immigration fits into larger struggles we are all working on
(income equality, workers rights, etc.)
GOAL:
- Create a much needed space to have high level, political strategic conversations about state of play
and trajectory of immigrant rights movement (consider meeting periodically going forward)
- Discuss strategies and tactics on executive action implementation that can serve our communities and
position us for next phase of the fight
o Obtain general consensus about 1-2 actions we can take together?
o Be clear about what NYC’s plan is to implement and prepare and how it will roll out (as much as
can be shared) – to align the advocates around it to be supportive and get bounce
- Encourage members to think beyond the current moment towards a longer term strategy for winning
on immigration reform and pathway to citizenship for all 11 million
TACTICS:
HONOR THE TIMELINE TACTIC

Implementation was supposed to start May 19/20, perhaps do something locally + nationally on this date as
part of CUIA + community allies
OTHER POSSIBLE TACTICS + WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER OVER NEXT 6 MONTHS

- I have been focused on building a national, multi-dimensional, multi-issue progressive
movement focused on closing the income inequality gap in this country.
- This is the conversation we should be having and you are the people who should be leading it
because of your work, not just on immigration, on multiple issues with your various
constituencies on the ground, so I’m glad we are gathered today and doing this work.
- More talk points on NATIONAL WORK.
- CHALLENGE THE GROUP TO WORK TO ANSWER FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
What is the game plan on organizing around this issue? (not just implementation)
How does this issue fit into the bigger picture, multi-issue movement building?

10 GUIDING QUESTIONS
We will hold a candid and thought-provoking discussion on the future of the immigrant rights movement with a
small group of strategists on Saturday. Please consider these questions in preparation for the immigration
stakeholder roundtable discussion.
We look forward to your participation!
1) What actions can we take locally to move the national conversation on comprehensive immigration
reform (CIR) forward?
2) What is our theory of change in engaging in the next phase of immigration reform?
3) Can we arrive on, and what is, a singular message as New York City activists and strategists that we
can elevate as we find ourselves in rooms where we are discussing national strategy next steps on CIR?
4) How can we use allies in other cities, coupled with the Mayor’s national organizing efforts, to get us to
place that positions us well to influence Congress?
5) Can we benefit from mapping the overlap between Mayors who are in this with us, national groups’
capacity, and states who are on the lawsuit against DAPA?
6) How do we work together to win the public conversation and create an environment that assumes
that we will have a victory on executive action in court?
7) How do we turn our implementation work into a statement, which both protects the program, and
positions us for future victories on CIR?
8) How do we define our next win?
9) What does the next phase of the national immigration rights organizing movement look like?
10) What is the timeline over the next 6-9 months on this and what are potential dates and moments that
we can organize ourselves around?

Sir – see below for a draft statement on TPA:
The Trade Promotion Authority introduced today lacks the vital oversight and public
debate that’s necessary to protect working families and our economy. I’m deeply
concerned about this deal’s impact on jobs, wages, and basic safety and environmental
standards – and ramming it through Congress would be a mistake for working people
and for our country. With so much at stake, I urge Congress to slow this down.

I strongly think we should attack here and say this will be a mistake for working people,
for the nation and for the party. And we don't have enough info in the public debate to
even know the consequences. This should be stopped and slowed. Dom and I just
spoke and he can help with our statement

JDC can chime in here if I am missing anything, but if it is possible to mark with the NYC folks that MBDB is
doing some national work to elevate attention around income inequality and we want to make sure their
national colleagues are aware/involved, that would be great
Few points:
Income inequality and the efforts to address the root causes are tied into everything we do as
progressives – including working on immigration reform
In order to address these issues, we can’t tweak around the edges – we need to demand big, bold
change
MBDB will be helping organize an event in DC in early May to lay out a set of progressive principles
that we think leaders and potential leaders need to address
As this event gets more solidified, we want to work with the attendees national organizations to
make sure they know about it and drive people to attend. We want Mary Kay Henry to attend,
Janet Murguia with NCLR, etc
Is this helpful?

Subject: Immigration Stakeholder Strategy Meeting w/ MBdB
Folks:
I have attached the vision document and suggested talk points for MBdB, tick tock and agenda for the
immigration stakeholder strategy meeting we are holding this Saturday at Brooklyn Public Library from

230PM to 4PM.
It is an intimate gathering of stakeholders in immigrant rights movement, but many are from unions or
community organizations who also lead the fight on worker protections, raising wages, and other issues of
income inequality.
While the focus is on immigration, we believe (and it was EW suggestion) that it is a great time to discuss
some of the larger scale organizing efforts. We are collaborating with trusted allies to finalize this
document but wanted to send to this group for more input.
Please review and let us know if you have suggestions for any piece- ESP MBdB role, remarks, questions.
Thank you,
Stephanie

"I think it’s fair to say that if you look across the country, the deck is stacked in favor of
those already at the top," she said at a roundtable in an auto tech lab at Kirkwood
Community College. "There’s something wrong when CEOs make 300 times more than the
American worker … There’s something wrong when American workers keep getting more
productive … but that productivity is not matched in their paychecks."

Subject: 64) FXUUHQW GDWD
There are currently two positive results of a SQF that we have empirical data on– a
summons and an arrest. There may be a third positive result that PD does not yet have
empirical data on. We are working with PD on this.
In 2014, 3% (1,221) of the stops resulted in a summons and 15% (6,963) resulted in an
arrest
In 2013, 4% (6,896) of the stops resulted in a summons and 8% (15,410) resulted in an

arrest.
If you look at arrest + summons, it’s 18% vs 12% 2014 vs 2013.
The percentage of SQF that resulted in arrests increased by about 50% (from 8% in 2013 to
15% in 2014)
The percentage of SQF that resulted in summons decreased by about a quarter percent
(from 4% in 2013 to 3% in 2014).
Our rec response is below:
Stops now are yielding more arrests and summonses than they did in 2013 and in 2011 –
the peak of S/F. This suggests better stops being made by police. We still have a ways to
go, but with our retraining and our reforms, I’m confident these numbers will continue to
move in the right direction, and we can minimize the toxic impact S/F has had in police –
community relations. We have dramatically reduced the number of total stops, and by
increasing the quality of stops, we can better keep communities safe AND bring police and
community closer together.

But Clinton is sensitive to being accused of pronouncing policy

from on high, so she is first absorbing input from citizens she
encounters on the campaign trail, according to people familiar
with the campaign.
For instance, one of these people said, Clinton was struck after
several discussions during her first day in Iowa that nobody
asked her about income inequality, the economic issue du jour
among political elites and a core theme of her nascent campaign.

Mayor de Blasio Discusses Income Inequality in Omaha, Nebraska

WOWT NBC 6 - 4:37 am
The leader of the largest city in America was in Omaha on Wednesday. UNO offered a warm
welcome to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Income inequality was one of the major themes of
his lecture. Mayor de Blasio: “There’s something happening in this country that defies our values as
Americans, and undermines our security, and our stability, and our future – growing income
inequality that undermines the very notion of the American dream, in the sense of this being a
country for all.” After speaking, de Blasio took questions from the audience. He also shared that he
has family roots from Nebraska.
KETV ABC 7 - 6:03 am

While Hillary Clinton was making her way to Council Bluffs, the man who was the campaign
manager of her successful Senate run was also in the metro. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was
speaking at UNO Wednesday night. He refused to endorse Clinton on Sunday when she announced
her campaign, saying he wants to hear her opinions and focus on an issue that he cares about, like
income inequality. “They work harder and harder, and actually find themselves falling behind. That
takes a national commitment. To address a problem of that magnitude takes a national
commitment. It takes a change in how we think about things and a change in our willingness to act.”
De Blasio will speak at Drake University this morning in Des Moines, Iowa. Former Iowa senator Tom
Harkin will also be there.
KPTM FOX 42 - 9:12 pm [4/15]

New York City and Omaha don’t usually have much in common, but that’s not the case tonight. New
York City Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke tonight as part of a lecture series at UNO. He focused on college
debt and what students can do about it. De Blasio also talked about his roots with Nebraska and the
fact that his parents lived in Lincoln after growing up in Iowa.
KETV ABC 7 - 10:00 pm [4/15]

Hillary Clinton just arrived in Council Bluffs, where the democratic presidential candidate is
wrapping up her Iowa campaign. In the morning, she’s expected to head to New Hampshire. During
her entire four-day stay in Iowa, Hillary Clinton did not address any questions from the media. She

stated that her campaign is focused on the people she wants to serve, not the media. What’s
interesting about her arrival tonight is she’s staying only a few miles from New York City Mayor Bill
de Blasio, her campaign manager for her 2008 presidential run [sic]. Mayor de Blasio refused to
endorse Clinton last Sunday, saying he wants to hear her opinions and focus on an issue that he
cares about – income inequality. He spoke about that issue tonight at UNO. Mayor: “They work
harder and harder, and actually find themselves falling behind. That takes a national commitment.
To address a problem of that magnitude takes a national commitment. It takes a change in how we
think about things and a change in our willingness to act.” Clinton made a major push in Iowa during
this campaign to speak with small business leaders about ways to improve the economy and job
growth. This afternoon, she set up some private meetings, but would not say who with. During the
last presidential campaign, Clinton did come in third during the Iowa caucuses. She hopes this early
push and focus on the economy and small business will help bring her the win this time around.

hi there...
Wanted to check in on this idea that we want him to do regular call time on TPA/ Mayors Organizing every
week. JDC AP and I will figure out who needs what calls etc.. but wanted consistent time on calendar we
can expect to be with him to get calls done.
Thank you!

The Trans-Pacific Partnership

Issues and Areas of Concern for New York City
The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a regulatory and investment treaty being negotiated

by the Obama administrated covering major economies of the Pacific Rim currently
excluding China. It includes 12 nations consisting of nearly 40% of the world’s
economy: United States, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Canada, Japan,
Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam. New York State exports
approximately $23 billion per year in goods to TPP economies. Overall, exports in
goods support approximately 280,000 jobs.
The treaty includes reciprocal tariff reductions, akin to a traditional free trade
agreement, but also includes chapters on other non-tariff regulatory issues,
including intellectual property, labor, financial services, and the environment.
Relative tariff levels between the United States and the other participating nations
are already relatively low, so there has been intense focus on the non-tariff aspects
of the deal.
FACTS ABOUT PROCESS
The agreement is being negotiated in secret: The text of the agreement has not
been made public, limiting the ability for citizens or many advocacy groups to form
opinions of the direction of the agreement. Instead, advocacy groups have needed
to rely on leaked drafts of some chapters, which have been criticized by the Obama
administration as being incomplete and partial. Members of Congress and
stakeholder groups convened by the administration, including labor, environmental,
and consumer advocacy representatives have seen confidential draft language.
The President is seeking “fast-track” authority over opposition and skepticism

from Congressional Democrats, labor unions, and prominent environmental
groups: The Administration is seeking Trade Promotion Authority (colloquially
known as “fast track”) which allows the Administration to submit a negotiated
agreement in total to be voted up or down by Congress with no opportunity for
amendments and limited debate. This is the process that was used for NAFTA, WTO,
and other high-profile trade agreements. Without an “up or down” vote, the
administration argues that the deal would collapse under the weight of
amendments. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have opposed granting the President
fast-track authority, but some Democrats and many Congressional Republicans are
open to the idea.
BENEFITS OF A DEAL AS WE KNOW IT

While we do not know the final text, there are a number of key benefits that seem
like likely outcomes of a successfully approved deal:
The agreement could increase opportunities for increased exports and domestic
job creation, while expanding profit-making opportunities for U.S. companies
abroad and potentially shift jobs or expand operations overseas. The White House
has stated that approving this agreement would increase exports from the United
States by approximately $120 billion per year, largely benefiting those companies
and employees in export-oriented industries, and increase real incomes, in the form
of lower prices and increased competition, by $77 billion per year. They point to
increased opportunities for small and medium sized export-oriented U.S.
businesses, reduced tariffs for goods and services from U.S. firms (including
“financial services”), uniform regulations, and increased protections for the
intellectual property from U.S. tech, medical, and media firms.

Would benefit large corporate entities with major footprints in New York City:
The benefits of additional corporate investment opportunities in the Pacific Rim
created by TPP skews towards some categories of companies who have major
presence in New York City: particularly companies who own valuable IP in tech,
media, and pharmaceuticals, and companies that are positioned to increase “trade
in services” – particularly financial institutions, law firms, and consulting companies.
This agreement would set the pattern for other future trade deals, including with
China and other nations across the world: The TPP is seen as an opportunity for
the United States to take the lead in setting minimum standards for trade among
major economic partners in the Pacific Rim, in an attempt to create “rules of the
game” that these nations will play on American terms, rather than on the terms of
Chinese interest, which may include less protection for labor, the environment,
American security interests, and the interests of American corporations and
workers. It is also seen as an important tool to knit together countries in the region
to provide an economic counterweight to the rise of China. Roger Altman, former
Treasury official, and Richard Haas of the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote that a
failure of the TPP, “would leave the country poorer and the world less stable.”
CONCERNS ABOUT PROCEEDING WITH THE PENDING DEAL:

While we do not know the final text, there are a number of substantive concerns
being raised by labor, environmental, and consumer protection advocates:
Treaty may include hortatory but toothless clauses on environmental protection

and labor rights and could expand fossil fuel exports, exacerbating climate change
and reinforcing dependence on fossil fuels. The White House is planning on
including broad protections against illegal trade in protected species, overfishing,
and deforestation, but a leaked draft revealed a framework that lacked meaningful
enforcement mechanisms and has drawn the skepticism of major environmental
groups. In addition, while the White House insists they are looking to include
protections for labor rights, including rights to collective bargaining, limits on child
labor, and acceptable working conditions (safe work environments and maximum
hours limitations), there are parallel concerns that these clauses will not be
adequately enforceable. There is also no chapter on currency manipulation, which is
concerning to domestic labor unions as member countries can use artificial currency
depreciation to undercut U.S. manufacturing companies.
The agreement would likely expand expansive controversial U.S. intellectual

property laws internationally: A leaked version of the Intellectual Property right s
chapter includes provisions that would expand U.S. intellectual property
protections, including 80-year copyright protections and increased protections for
patented brand-name pharmaceuticals. This would improve profit prospects for
pharmaceutical companies, but may yield higher drug prices.
The agreement would likely expand the use of “Investor-State Dispute

Settlement” giving investors and international corporations a trans-national
forum to seek damages from governments for regulations that expropriate
property: The White House has identified these tribunals as vital protection from
expropriation for U.S. companies doing business abroad, but Elizabeth Warren and
other critics criticize them as potentially allowing global corporations to receive
damages, paid for by U.S. taxpayers, from regulations designed to protect
consumers but which the company will argue unfairly restrict profits. It is important
to note, however, that most companies will continue to challenge rules in U.S.
courts in order to overturn the laws all together. ISDS tribunals are only able to
award damages, and have never done so in any of the thirteen cases that went to
judgment against the United States.
“Buy America” provisions could be challenged: The White House insists that there
will be no change to current law, and that states and localities’ ability to impose
local purchasing requirements will not be disrupted. , but the AFL-CIO has claimed
that this deal would undermine the ability of the United States to impose “Buy
America” provisions.

Draft Recommended Position:
We don’t need trade deals that exacerbate inequality and undermine worker’s
rights and environmental protections. We need trade deals with real and
enforceable commitments to labor rights and environmental protections that
improve the lot for hardworking Americans and raise living standards across the
world, rather than exacerbating a race to the bottom. If this deal doesn’t do that,
Congress should reject it.
  Avoid weighing in on Fast Track –

It’s up to Congress and the President to decide the best way to achieve the
best deal for American workers.
  Focus on substance – As it stands,
this doesn’t sound like a good deal for American workers.

The Rundown - Jose Diaz Balart

MSNBC - 04/22/2015 9:10 am
Jose Diaz Balart: This morning, President Obama is trying to rally skeptical Democrats behind a
transpacific trade deal. Some members of the president’s own party say they’re worried the deal
could threaten American workers. One prominent Democrat is still uneasy over the proposal –
Hillary Clinton. The presidential candidate distanced herself from the deal while wrapping up a
campaign trip to New Hampshire.
Secretary Hillary Clinton: Any trade deal has to produce jobs, and raise wages, and increase
prosperity, and protect our security. And we have to do our part in making sure we have the
capabilities and the skills to be competitive.
Jose Diaz Balart: MSNBC’s Alex Seitz-Ward is in Washington, fresh off his trip to the granite state
with Hillary Clinton. Alex, good morning. How much of this type of rhetoric are we going to see of
Clinton distancing herself from the White House?
Alex Seitz-Ward: Well in general, Jose, I think not very much at all actually. The president still
remains very popular among Democrats, and he was, of course, her boss as secretary of state. So,
the Clinton’s campaign thinks it just wouldn’t really pass the smell test if she tried to distance herself
too much from him. That said – on trade specifically – this is a rare issue where the president is very
out of step with a lot of the Democratic base. So she’s in a tough spot here. On one hand, she wants
to stay close to the president. On the other hand, she wants to appease this liberal base that’s still a
little bit wary about her candidacy. So she’s trying to leave a little bit of room here and figure out
how things go. She’s leaving herself an opening on the – I would still think – unlikely chance that she
ultimately comes out against this trade deal. But she wants to, you know, play a little bit tough and
really try to show that she’s speaking to the concerns that progressives are raising around this.
Jose Diaz Balart: And Alex, now there’s this new narrative by the Clinton camp to paint her as the
original Elizabeth Warren. Tell me a little bit about that.
Alex Seitz-Ward: Yeah, that’s right. I mean, they point to – going back to the 90s in the Clinton
White House when her husband ran as a very centrist Democrat, moderate on fiscal issues, was a
big hawk on the deficit and social responsibility. And inside the administration people were uneasy
about Hillary Clinton. They thought she was too far to the left. They even called her and her advisors
the bolsheviks inside the Clinton administration. So the Clinton people are now trying to kind revive
that legacy. It’s something that she pushed aside and didn’t want to emphasize when she got into
the Senate. She made a big effort to work across the isle with Republicans and present herself as
sort of a, you know, compromising moderate centrist. And then that’s sort of how she ran in 2008.
But now with this revived progressive, activist left she’s pointing to that legacy, and she’s saying she
was for universal healthcare before Barack Obama, she was for, you know, universal childcare – all

these slew of issues before Elizabeth Warren, before a lot of other people in the party.
Jose Diaz Balart: Alex Seitz-Wald, thanks. It’s good to see you.

Would like for Reich to sign on to TPA bullets

Would like Reich to attend May 12 event in DC. MBDB will be doing Roosevelt in morning and TPA
event will likely be on Hill at 3 PM
Would like to see him in CA and ideally speak to his class at Berkley (MPC – not sure what
availability there is)
MBDB is coming out against TPP this weekend
Reich and Trumka did joint op ed in March laying out argument against TPP

As relates to the broader TPA, I just want to flag again that we may
have a left hand /right hand problem on the way the current document
characterizes additional revenues from "companies shipping jobs
overseas."
Emma's team has been working with a broad coalition that includes
business leaders for the DC day of action on funding for transportation
funding. They have agreed to stand with us to call for more
transportation funding paid for with additional revenues from overseas
corporate operations. However, the way John's document characterizes
the "shipping jobs overseas" would erode that support and is
inconsistent with discussions to date. Just want to make sure that's part
of the calculus since I believe folks felt speaking with one voice would
be more powerful on that specific topic.

This was the language that had been ageed to: "Invest
more funding in transportation infrastructure by
generating more revenue, including through
repatriation of US corporate assets overseas"

As relates to the broader TPA, I just want to flag again

that we may have a left hand /right hand problem on

the way the current document characterizes additional
revenues from "companies shipping jobs overseas."
Emma's team has been working with a broad coalition

that includes business leaders for the DC day of action
on funding for transportation funding. They have agreed
to stand with us to call for more transportation funding
paid for with additional revenues from overseas
corporate operations. However, the way John's
document characterizes the "shipping jobs overseas"
would erode that support and is inconsistent with
discussions to date. Just want to make sure that's part
of the calculus since I believe folks felt speaking with
one voice would be more powerful on that specific
topic.

Wouldn't it make sense to spend half an hour tomorrow going through what are very
complicated policies?

The Obama administration proposed paying for the transportation bill by

doing a repatriation of overseas earning
They would charge a 14% rate on repatriated earnings, raising $238 billion
in revenue for the US that would be reinvested in transportation.
While not monolithic, there's substantial support for funding the
transportation bill through repatriation.

Supporting that source for the transportation bill would be inconsistent with
spending the tax change that Tony is proposing.
The tax treatment for sending jobs overseas is separate, and related in
principle, but of minimal value from a revenue-raising perspective.

Let's be clear on what I thought we are proposing. What I have been
pressing for is repealing a loophole in the corporate tax law that allows US
multi-national companies to defer payment of any corporate tax owed on
profits made by their overseas subsidies until those profits are
"repatriated" -- which is often never. This change has been estimated by
CTJ to add some $60 billion a year ($600 over ten years plus $150 billion
one-time spin-up from later years) by eliminating some of the worst of
the Cayman Island and Bermuda tax games companies play to avoid taxes,
and the incentive that current law provides for companies to shift activity
and jobs overseas.
Why so what we are proposing here inconsistent with what we are

suggesting for the transportation bill?

As relates to the broader TPA, I just want to flag again

that we may have a left hand /right hand problem on
the way the current document characterizes additional
revenues from "companies shipping jobs overseas."
Emma's team has been working with a broad coalition

that includes business leaders for the DC day of action
on funding for transportation funding. They have agreed
to stand with us to call for more transportation funding
paid for with additional revenues from overseas
corporate operations. However, the way John's
document characterizes the "shipping jobs overseas"
would erode that support and is inconsistent with
discussions to date. Just want to make sure that's part of
the calculus since I believe folks felt speaking with one
voice would be more powerful on that specific topic.

[DG1]Note that this is a placeholder until
we get a copy of the draft report from Roosevelt.


[JD2]Do we need to make this more clear?

[JD3]Should we cut the “pre-school”
reference earlier so people aren’t confused?

[JD4]FWIW
– MBDB came out against TPP
on Saturday – and is happy to include this here – unless you guys have
decided you’ve laid down your marker there & don’t want to re-raise it?

Reforming Labor Law
Background: When workers try to organize unions they are often harassed, intimidated or fired, taking away their
bargaining power and harming their access to adequate wages and quality healthcare. Workers in unions earn 30
percent higher wages and are 63 percent more likely to have employer-provided heath insurance.
Possible Solution: The Employee Free Choice Act: A Congressional bill that would make it easier for workers to
join unions, make it easier for newly unionized workers to reach contracts with their employers, and strengthen
penalties for those that violate labor law to seek to prevent workers from using their right to organize. The
legislation removes the power of employers to demand an additional and separate ballot if a majority of employee
signatures were collected. It also assigns the organizing union as the official collective bargaining representative if
a majority of employee signatures are collected. The legislation also requires employers and their unions to enter
binding arbitration to produce a collective agreement if one cannot be met 90 days after the unionization of
employees, and after 30 days of mediation time (120 days total). The arbitration agreement would be binding for a
period of two years. Lastly, the legislation increases penalties on employers who discriminate against workers for
union involvement.

Student Loan Refinancing
Background: Some with outstanding loans pay interest rates of 7% or higher for undergraduate
loans, while students taking out new undergraduate loans pay 3.86% under the Bipartisan Student
Loan Certainly Act passed by Congress in summer 2013. Outstanding student loans now total more
than $1.2 trillion, surpassing total credit card debt. One in seven borrowers defaults on federal
student loans within three years of beginning repayment.
Possible Solutions: S. 2432 – Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act: Would allow
more than 25 million people with outstanding student loan debt to refinance their federal student
loans or private loans at the lower interest rates currently offered to new borrowers, while
maintaining full borrower protections of federal student loans (rather than forcing borrowers
refinance with private banks). The loss of federal revenue from the lower loan interest income
would require additional DOE direct spending (via its Direct Loan Program), according to the CBO,
but would be offset in full by the “Buffet Rule” – a minimum 30% income tax payment from people
who earn between $1 and $2 million.

Except for the persistent lack of "the" before EITC, I think it's great. Well done, John!
Is there anything of major concern to the CH team, or are we ready to lock down? Team, speak up pls
asap.
And I assume we'll navigate whatever tough questions we get on paid family leave for NYC and the city
government's lack of paid leave -- this will force us to address the issue, which we need to do anyway.
So last chance to weigh in on all this: speak now or forever hold your peace!

Combined Dom’s stuff with some stuff I found re: NLRA… Shorter is always better for MBDB...

Reforming Labor Law
Background: When workers try to organize unions they are often

harassed, intimidated or fired, taking away their bargaining power and
harming their access to adequate wages and quality healthcare.
Workers in unions earn 30 percent higher wages and are 63 percent
more likely to have employer-provided heath insurance.
Possible Solution: The Employee Free Choice Act: A Congressional

bill that would make it easier for workers to join unions, make it easier
for newly unionized workers to reach contracts with their employers,
and strengthen penalties for those that violate labor law to seek to
prevent workers from using their right to organize. The legislation
removes the power of employers to demand an additional and separate
ballot if a majority of employee signatures were collected. It also assigns
the organizing union as the official collective bargaining representative if
a majority of employee signatures are collected. The legislation also
requires employers and their unions to enter binding arbitration to
produce a collective agreement if one cannot be met 90 days after the
unionization of employees, and after 30 days of mediation time (120 days
total). The arbitration agreement would be binding for a period of two
years. Lastly, the legislation increases penalties on employers who
discriminate against workers for union involvement.
Immigration Reform and Wage Theft
Immigrant workers are even more vulnerable because they can

be threatened with deportation. In 2002, the Supreme Court ruled that
undocumented workers cannot seek basic labor protections because
they are not legally allowed to work. Therefore, employers can subject
undocumented immigrants to abuse and dangerous working conditions
for little pay, without worrying about legal action.
http://thinkprogress.org/immigration/2013/07/10/2276121/dc-
undocumented-immigrant-wage-theft/

Background: Some with outstanding loans pay interest rates of 7% or

higher for undergraduate loans, while students taking out new
undergraduate loans pay 3.86% under the Bipartisan Student Loan
Certainly Act passed by Congress in summer 2013. Outstanding student
loans now total more than $1.2 trillion, surpassing total credit card
debt. One in seven borrowers defaults on federal student loans within
three years of beginning repayment.
Possible Solutions: S. 2432 – Bank on Students Emergency Loan

Refinancing Act: Would allow more than 25 million people with
outstanding student loan debt to refinance their federal student loans or
private loans at the lower interest rates currently offered to new
borrowers, while maintaining full borrower protections of federal
student loans (rather than forcing borrowers refinance with private
banks). The loss of federal revenue from the lower loan interest income
would require additional DOE direct spending (via its Direct Loan
Program), according to the CBO, but would be offset in full by the “Buffet
Rule” – a minimum 30% income tax payment from people who earn
between $1 and $2 million.
Paid Family Leave
The United States is the only advanced economy without a national

paid-leave law. Only three states -- California, New Jersey and Rhode
Island -- offer this critical support for working men and women. Even
Human Rights Watch has noticed, citing America for failing its families
in a scathing report a few years back. In the latest edition of Expecting
Better, a report card issued annually by the National Partnership for
Women and Families, not a single state merited an "A." California took
home an A-minus, New Jersey, a B-plus, and New York, a lackluster B-
minus.

Tax Breaks for Shipping Jobs
Overseas/Deferral/Inversion/Repatriation
SMALLER ONE (NOT AFFECTED BY REPATRIATION):

“Firms can generally deduct business expenses,” said Kimberly Clausing,
the Thormund A. Miller and Walter Mintz Professor of Economics at
Reed College. “Thus, of course, if firms incurred expenses in moving
abroad, they would be able to deduct those expenses.”
BIGGER ONE (AFFECTED BY REPATRIATION):

We’ve also written before on several occasions that the tax code has
long allowed U.S. corporations doing business abroad to defer paying
taxes on any of their “unrepatriated income.” That is to say that the
revenue earned by the company’s foreign subsidiary remains untaxed
by the IRS until that money is brought back to the parent company in
the U.S.
Sometimes politicians also refer to this as a “tax break for shipping jobs
overseas.” And Clausing told us that this part of tax law could motivate
companies to move business abroad.
“This can provide a huge incentive for locating jobs and income abroad,
since many tax haven countries have tax rates that are very low, even
approaching zero, and thus the money can grow abroad ‘tax free’ until it
is repatriated,” she said.

On Tuesday, May 12 at 3:00pm, national progressive leaders will gather at the U.S.
Capitol Building’s House Triangle to declare their support for The Progressive
Agenda to Combat Income Inequality.
The group of supporters will include federal and local elected officials, labor
officials, cultural leaders, and progressive thought leaders.
The Progressive Agenda – a progressive alternative, of sorts, to the 1994

Republican Contract with America – will include specific proposals to lift the floor
for working people, support working parents, and promote tax fairness – policies
that reward work rather than just wealth.
The event stems from a summit that Mayor de Blasio convened in New York City in
early April, where a small group of national progressive leaders gathered to discuss
ways the country could combat the crisis of our time -- income inequality.
The Progressive Agenda builds upon the work of dozens of economists, lawmakers,
think tanks, and progressive activists. It is not meant to be seen as a comprehensive
collection of how to combat income inequality, but rather a bold collection of policy
proposals around which progressives can organize and mobilize.
You are cordially invited to join us at 3pm on May 12!
If you cannot attend in person, we’d still urge you to sign on to the document.
To sign on, please email me back as soon as possible, but no later than this
Friday, May 1.
Thanks for your consideration, and feel free to contact me with any questions or
concerns.

Subject: RE: TPA latest
I think it looks good. Final pester. Do I assume correctly that the ENTIRE list will be emailed this
morning and that each of our people assigned to a target will regularly update info on the google
doc? And I think that instead of relying upon individuals to periodically see how we’re doing, it
would be good to get at least one, possibly two, consolidated result reports per day. (And not
assume that everyone is plugging into google doc.) Or at least send me one consolidated report per
day so I can keep up to speed in real time. Can you make this happen?

Let's use these numbers:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has updated its statistics to reflect the 2014 annual averages, and
shows that the median weekly earnings of full time wage or salaried union members is $970, while
non-union workers median weekly earnings is $763, a 27% difference (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Economic News Release: Union Membership, Table
2., http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.t02.htm,http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.t02.htm,
January 25, 2015).
In 2009, the Center for American Progress published a report showing that union workers are 28.2
percent more likely to be covered by employer-provided health insurance and 53.9 percent more
likely to have employer-provided pensions compared to non-union workers with similar characteristics
(Madland, David & Karla Walter, Unions Are Good for the American Economy, Center for American

2 things:
On Labor Law, are you sure about the 30% higher wage premium?
On Immigration Reform, you cover the wage theft argument but have nothing on the claim that
reform grows the economy. I know that CAP has issued a number of reports that document this
claim.

She is different than everyone else. And it's easy for he not to sign -- and for many others too. You
can say the language is fixed when you have a bunch of signatories in place. And so NOW it dawns
on me that we should have secured a core set on signatures and sent it around with singnatories
already on board to anchor it. We may pay for that mistake. We need yesses quickly so we have a
rationale for sticking to the wording as is

True. And while I originally asked Hayley to send to you - now I'm kinda thinking we handle at staff level
and see if we can ram thru/just tell her the Language is set

Hey Abby… It’s finally here! Thanks

for everything - esp the nudge on
CEO Pay - which has become a big
part of the effort!
===
On Tuesday, May 12 at 3:00pm, national

progressive leaders will gather at the U.S.
Capitol Building’s House Triangle to
declare their support for The Progressive
The group of supporters will include

federal and local elected officials, labor
officials, cultural leaders, and progressive
activists.

The Progressive Agenda – a progressive
alternative, of sorts, to the 1994
Republican Contract with America – will
include specific proposals to lift the floor
for working people, support working
parents, and promote tax fairness –
policies that reward work rather than just
wealth.
The event stems from a summit that

Mayor de Blasio convened in New York City
in early April, where a group of national
progressive leaders gathered to discuss
ways the country could combat the crisis of
our time -- income inequality.
The Progressive Agenda builds upon the

work of dozens of economists, lawmakers,
think tanks, and progressive activists. It is
not meant to be seen as a comprehensive
set of proposals to combat income
inequality, but rather a bold collection of
core policy proposals around which
progressives can organize and mobilize.
You are cordially invited to join us at 3pm

on May 12!
If you cannot attend in person, we’d still

urge you to sign on to the document.
To sign on, please email me back as soon

as possible, preferably no later than
Monday, May 4.

Thanks for your consideration, and feel
free to contact me with any questions or
concerns.
The Progressive
Agenda
1. Lift the Floor for Working

People
· Raise the federal minimum

wage, so that it reaches
$15/hour, while indexing it to
inflation.
· Reform the National Labor

Relations Act, to enhance
workers’ right to organize and
rebuild the middle class.
· Pass comprehensive
immigration reform to grow
the economy and protect
against exploitation of low-
wage workers.
· Oppose trade deals that

hand more power to

corporations at the expense of
American jobs, workers’ rights,
and the environment.
· Pass national paid sick leave.
· Pass national paid family

leave.
· Make Pre-K, after-school

programs and childcare
universal.
· Expand the Earned Income

Tax Credit.
· Allow students to refinance

student loan debt to take
advantage of lower interest
rates.
3. Tax Fairness
· Close the carried interest

loophole.
· End tax breaks for companies

that ship jobs overseas.
· Implement the “Buffett

Rule” so millionaires pay their

fair share.
· Close the CEO tax loophole

that allows corporations to take
advantage of “performance
pay” write-offs.

Maybe Gore would be opposed to the trade deal for the same reason Sierra Club is?
SIERRA CLUB WEIGHS IN AGAINST TRADE DEAL - Per release: "The Sierra Club launched a
targeted ad campaign in California, Washington, and Oregon today, exposing the Trans-
Pacific Partnership for its complete lack of transparency and its potential to wreak havoc on
the health of our air, water, and communities. The ads point to the proposed deal's secrecy
as well as its provisions that would expedite dangerous fossil fuel exports and extraction and
give broad new powers to corporations´

Correct. My conversation with Felicia (Roosevelt CEO) boiled down

to: "you gotta talk to Team Warren - we’re just doing what they tell
us.”
Let’s wait to see how Geldon responds to my email, and then I may
tap you to talk to EW. Again, I don’t think it’s necessarily a disaster.
We could always move our event back, or we could just do as
planned & miss out on a Senator or two.

I don’t usually sweat the wording on emails, but since the joint op-ed & our
relationship with Warren is so important, I wanted to run my draft email to
Dan Geldon by you before I hit send…

Hey Dan. Wanted to check in with you on another front.
I know Sen. Warren is going to have Stiglitz brief a number of Senators on his
work product on 5/12….at 2:45pm?
The one issue there is that we were planning to gather our group of national
progressives (electeds, labor leaders, etc.) at the House Triangle to do a
signing ceremony for our “progressive Contract with America” event at 3pm.
I wasn’t expecting Sen. Warren to join our press conference (although that
would totally make our day!!) - BUT, I was concerned that we might lose other
Senators to the Stiglitz briefing - folks we might otherwise have a chance of

securing for our press conference.
Was wondering how set in stone the 2:45pm time was - or whether that could
happen earlier or later? Or, if it’s totally set, do you think I should move our
press conference to, say, 4pm? Just looking for some advice…

"This is a rigged economy, which works for the rich and the powerful, and is not

working for ordinary Americans. ... You know, this country just does not belong to a
handful of billionaires."

Sanders said he would release "very specific proposals" to raise taxes on wealthy
Americans and corporations, as well as offer tuition-free education at all public colleges
and universities. He touched on his past opposition to free-trade agreements, his
support for heavier regulations of Wall Street and the nation's banking industry, and
his vote against the Keystone XL oil pipeline as a preview of his campaign.

First -- we supported state senate dems across board. One competitive race won - Panepinto in buffalo.
Second technical: We supported senate democrats efforts writ large thru coalition efforts not specific
individual campaign committees - except for Marc Panepinto in western New York who won.

Please forward to Mahen, Andrea, Emma, Phil, MPC, and EL.
Thanks.
There were a few mistakes I already went over with the fact
checker (like he only served two council terms) and I talked to
her about CMC's rotation into City Hall, but Mahen -- can you
comb through this and make sure all is good? Need exact prek
numbers, etc. I clarified that they do go to church often and
consider themselves spiritual, just don't belong. They need it
tomorrow.
Andrea/ Emma -- everything check out from meeting? Emma --

you good with how they characterize PA work?
MPC/ Elana -- can you please look over the bits about City Hall/
his office? All looks right to me, but just double checking.
Does anyone know Dan Katz? Mayor should have heads up that
they spoke.
JDC -- for question 26, no?
If other flags, please speak up asap. Thanks.
1. Is it better to list the Mayor’s height as 6’5” or 6’6”? I’ve

seen a fairly humorous article that talks about him being
actually 6’5 and 7/8 of an inch tall, but which is better as
shorthand?

2. The Mayor met with our reporter on the back porch of
Gracie Mansion, from which can be seen views of the
East River and the Triborough Bridge.
3. There are wicker chairs on the porch.
4. There are soccer nets set up in the yard, where the
Mayor and his wife, Chirlane McCray, occasionally play
with their son, Dante.
5. Dante is a high school senior.
6. Their daughter, Chiara, is currently a junior at Santa Clara
University in California.
7. Prior to the announcement of the Mayor’s planned
progressive version of a 'Contract with America', the
various members of the group had a meeting that was
closed to the press.
8. The de Blasio family does not belong to a church of any
kind.
9. The de Blasio and Mc Cray were married in 1994 by a pair
of gay ministers. (Just confirming that both ministers
were gay.)
10. While serving as NYC’s Public Advocate, de Blasio created
an entire department of community organizers.
11. Both of de Blasio’s parents were 44 when he was born.
12. De Blasio’s father left the family when de Blasio was
seven.
13. His brother Steven’s name is spelled STEVEN, not
STEPHEN.
14. He was friends, at NYU, with now labor historian Dan
Katz.
15. They became friends in 1980 after being separately
elected to represent their dorms in student government.
16. They went on to co-found the Coalition for Students
Rights, which led protests on campus of things like tuition
hikes.
17. He studied Latin American politics at Columbia University.
(Is this what his Masters is in, though? It seems like his
Masters may be in something else?)
18. After working for Mayor David Dinkins’ campaign in 1989,
he went on to work as an aide in Mayor Dinkins’ office.
19. De Blasio met Mc Cray when they were both working for
Dinkins at City Hall. (Here I’m a little confused, because
while I have often seen that reported, I also see that Mc
Cray told Essence in 2013 that she had been working in
the press office of the NYC Commission on Human Rights
and was “sent to City Hall.” It’s a little unclear to me if
that means she was specifically working for Dinkins or

regularly at City Hall vs. just at City Hall for the day.
Thanks for any clarification!)
20. Prior to being elected Mayor, de Blasio served THREE
terms on the City Council and ONE term as Public
Advocate.
21. De Blasio’s signature pre-K program began in September
2014.
22. It served 51,000 pre-schoolers at over 1,600 locations.
23. Richard Buery was the deputy mayor tasked with
implementing universal pre-K.
24. De Blasio backed or supported several Democrats
running in state races outside of New York City in 2014,
but none of them were able to win their elections.
25. De Blasio also worked on Dinkins’ 1993 re-election
campaign.
26. At the time when our writer spoke to de Blasio, it had
not yet been decided whether or not the bipartisan
forum his progressive alliance will hold this year in
advance of the 2016 election would be in the form of one
forum, for both major parties, or two separate forums.
Has that been decided?
27. Oil paintings of past mayors hang in New York’s City Hall.
28. The portrait of Bloomberg is a photorealistic one of him
standing in front of a sea of cubicles.
29. This office floor plan added by Bloomberg remains at City
Hall.
30. De Blasio works in his own office on the floor below, at a
desk previously used by Fiorello La Guardia, who was a
hero to his family.
31. There was a Mets jersey in de Blasio’s office when Mark
visited, as well as a boom box and a stack of CDs.
32. During one of our writers’ visits, de Blasio was holding a
meeting to discuss his new housing plan, which included
Human Resources Administration Commissioner Stephen
Banks.
33. Banks was there speaking of tenants’ rights issues.
34. Emma Wolfe, who is 34, and is the director of
Intergovernmental Affairs, sat beside him.
35. She has previously worked at ACORN and as a labor
organizer.
36. The Mayor has an old school style flip phone.

Wanted to flag this one, since none of us seems to know who Dan Katz is. Andrea, can you make sure
MBDB knows that the Rolling Stone reporter tracked down one of his NYT pals & apparently spoke to him?
He was friends, at NYU, with now labor historian Dan Katz.

Date: April 29, 2015 at 9:49:38 PM EDT
Please forward to Mahen, Andrea, Emma, Phil, MPC, and EL.
Thanks.
There were a few mistakes I already went over with the fact checker (like he only served two
council terms) and I talked to her about CMC's rotation into City Hall, but Mahen -- can you
comb through this and make sure all is good? Need exact prek numbers, etc. I clarified that
they do go to church often and consider themselves spiritual, just don't belong. They need it
tomorrow.

Andrea/ Emma -- everything check out from meeting? Emma -- you good with how they
characterize PA work?
MPC/ Elana -- can you please look over the bits about City Hall/ his office? All looks right to
me, but just double checking.
Does anyone know Dan Katz? Mayor should have heads up that they spoke.
JDC -- for question 26, no?
If other flags, please speak up asap. Thanks.
Is it better to list the Mayor’s height as 6’5” or 6’6”? I’ve seen a fairly humorous
article that talks about him being actually 6’5 and 7/8 of an inch tall, but which is
better as shorthand?
The Mayor met with our reporter on the back porch of Gracie Mansion, from which
can be seen views of the East River and the Triborough Bridge.
There are wicker chairs on the porch.
There are soccer nets set up in the yard, where the Mayor and his wife, Chirlane
McCray, occasionally play with their son, Dante.
Dante is a high school senior.
Their daughter, Chiara, is currently a junior at Santa Clara University in California.
Prior to the announcement of the Mayor’s planned progressive version of a 'Contract
with America', the various members of the group had a meeting that was closed to
the press.
The de Blasio family does not belong to a church of any kind.
The de Blasio and Mc Cray were married in 1994 by a pair of gay ministers. (Just
confirming that both ministers were gay.)
While serving as NYC’s Public Advocate, de Blasio created an entire department of
community organizers.
Both of de Blasio’s parents were 44 when he was born.
De Blasio’s father left the family when de Blasio was seven.
His brother Steven’s name is spelled STEVEN, not STEPHEN.
He was friends, at NYU, with now labor historian Dan Katz.
They became friends in 1980 after being separately elected to represent their dorms
in student government.
They went on to co-found the Coalition for Students Rights, which led protests on
campus of things like tuition hikes.
He studied Latin American politics at Columbia University. (Is this what his Masters is
in, though? It seems like his Masters may be in something else?)
After working for Mayor David Dinkins’ campaign in 1989, he went on to work as an
aide in Mayor Dinkins’ office.
De Blasio met Mc Cray when they were both working for Dinkins at City Hall. (Here
I’m a little confused, because while I have often seen that reported, I also see that
Mc Cray told Essence in 2013 that she had been working in the press office of the
NYC Commission on Human Rights and was “sent to City Hall.” It’s a little unclear to

me if that means she was specifically working for Dinkins or regularly at City Hall vs.
just at City Hall for the day. Thanks for any clarification!)
Prior to being elected Mayor, de Blasio served THREE terms on the City Council and
ONE term as Public Advocate.
De Blasio’s signature pre-K program began in September 2014.
It served 51,000 pre-schoolers at over 1,600 locations.
Richard Buery was the deputy mayor tasked with implementing universal pre-K.
De Blasio backed or supported several Democrats running in state races outside of
New York City in 2014, but none of them were able to win their elections.
De Blasio also worked on Dinkins’ 1993 re-election campaign.
At the time when our writer spoke to de Blasio, it had not yet been decided whether
or not the bipartisan forum his progressive alliance will hold this year in advance of
the 2016 election would be in the form of one forum, for both major parties, or two
separate forums. Has that been decided?
Oil paintings of past mayors hang in New York’s City Hall.
The portrait of Bloomberg is a photorealistic one of him standing in front of a sea of
cubicles.
This office floor plan added by Bloomberg remains at City Hall.
De Blasio works in his own office on the floor below, at a desk previously used by
Fiorello La Guardia, who was a hero to his family.
There was a Mets jersey in de Blasio’s office when Mark visited, as well as a boom box
and a stack of CDs.
During one of our writers’ visits, de Blasio was holding a meeting to discuss his new
housing plan, which included Human Resources Administration Commissioner
Stephen Banks.
Banks was there speaking of tenants’ rights issues.
Emma Wolfe, who is 34, and is the director of Intergovernmental Affairs, sat beside
him.
She has previously worked at ACORN and as a labor organizer.
The Mayor has an old school style flip phone.

See attached fact-check edits for RKK/Rolling Stone.
Still waiting on the lines highlighted in yellow, but for now recommend passing this along.
Most articles online (and I believe Mayor himself has said) say that his parents were 44 years old at
the time of his birth. But, based on the birthdates listed in Mayor’s security clearance forms, his
mother technically turned 44 the week after he was born. And his father turned 44 four months
later.

For the first three highlighted in yellow, those are all correct. Triborough/RFK Bridge.
For the final two in yellow (#10 and #14), those are better posed to MBdB and EW, respectively.

Exactly right. Combining the timing is perfect, and Elizabeth told me last night she's fine with the op-
ed going next week. So let's see if we can get the days to align exactly. Can we start shopping the op-
ed to nyt, then WaPo, then WSJ (hopefully NYT has the wisdom to take it this time)? When should
that happen? Who will do that?

Hey there. Sources tell me that you wanted to sign off on the logo for TPA. My preference is the third one

I like the California approach - reminiscent of our Worst Landlords Watch List
The other approach, which is very similar to the Bad Business Fee, was originally part of TPA
- but got cut, I believe because we felt it was a little too small - but we can/should look into
championing legislation to this effect on the city level & whether that’s feasible. Seems like
a sensible policy.

Boss would like to do a call at some point to go over branding of TPA (in a word - he isn’t loving the title)…
Wouldn’t change what we’re calling our “thing” in the leads-up to 5/12 - but he’d like us to hash out what
we call our movement in the days after 5/12 (which mean we’d have to discuss soon)… I told him we’d
already discussed & arrived - but he said process was ad hoc (which I interpret to mean he wants to be in
on it)…
We should also discuss what we do if/when presidentials ask us to sign on to TPA (O’Malley, Sanders, etc.)
- how do we handle?

UNITE HERE President D Taylor cannot attend on the 12 th . He has to be at a Las Vegas membership
meeting about the upcoming contract. It covers 60,000 people so he really can’t avoid since he is
running the meeting. He sends regrets. And feels guilty!

Subject: Re: Latest op-ed with Warren
Finally got to read this carefully. This is much better than the previous draft -- clearer for sure. But 2
points:
- note typo "todevelop" under research section
- note the positive construct around "fair trade" rather than the negative in the TPA re: "oppose
trade deals..." Although the energy of the word "oppose" has merit as an organizing tool, it really is
discordant with an otherwise affirmative agenda of what we should do -- not what we should avoid.
Might want to update that language going forward -- probably better post-May 12, although I'm
open to argument. Example: I think Toni M would have immediately signed on the "fair trade"
formulation. Are other potential signatories raising this concern?

Subject: Re: Latest op-ed with Warren
Finally got to read this carefully. This is much better than the previous draft -- clearer for sure. But 2
points:
- note typo "todevelop" under research section
- note the positive construct around "fair trade" rather than the negative in the TPA re: "oppose
trade deals..." Although the energy of the word "oppose" has merit as an organizing tool, it really is
discordant with an otherwise affirmative agenda of what we should do -- not what we should avoid.
Might want to update that language going forward -- probably better post-May 12, although I'm
open to argument. Example: I think Toni M would have immediately signed on the "fair trade"
formulation. Are other potential signatories raising this concern?

1. While we want as many House members as possible, we are also trying to get a broad base of support
for The Progressive Agenda - from labor leaders, thought leaders, economists, celebrities, etc. It would be
VERY difficult to get a lot of those folks if we try to do everything with this document/this effort. And as
you’ve probably seen, we already have so many great signers (see list below) - so we don’t want to risk
losing anyone, either. It’s the classic organizing conundrum - and you guys know organizing better than
anybody in politics today, so I know you appreciate it!
2. We have three goals: a) big names; b) as many big names as possible; c) as bold a document as
possible. This is the broad vision, and we really think it will be the best way to demonstrate a national
Show of Force that the progressive movement is alive, organized, and mobilized.
3. That said, we DEFINITELY want individual signers/participants to drill down deeper. We urge members
of the Progressive Caucus to do One Minutes on the House Floor in the days following May 12th AND/OR
introduce specific bills/budget frameworks during that period. For example, if you support the DeLauro-
Gillibrand legislation on Paid Family Leave - please use this organizing document/event to shine a BRIGHT
LIGHT on that legislation - and build support for it!
4. We know we don’t have EVERYTHING that needs to be done to combat income inequality contained in
this document. For my part, I will be speaking out on things I'd like to do above and beyond this, and I
expect that others will as well.

Please join Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City, and declare your support for
The Progressive Agenda to Combat Income Inequality on May 12, 2015 at 3:00pm

The group of supporters will include federal and local elected officials, labor officials,
cultural leaders, and progressive activists.
The Progressive Agenda – a progressive alternative, of sorts, to the 1994 Republican

Contract with America – will include specific proposals to lift the floor for working
people, support working parents, and promote tax fairness – policies that reward
work rather than just wealth.

country could combat the crisis of our time -- income inequality.

concerns.

1. Lift the Floor for Working People

· Raise the federal minimum wage, so that it
reaches $15/hour, while indexing it to inflation.
· Reform the National Labor Relations Act, to
enhance workers’ right to organize and rebuild the middle class.
· Pass comprehensive immigration reform
to grow the economy and protect against exploitation of low-wage workers.
· Oppose trade deals that hand more power
to corporations at the expense of American jobs, workers’ rights, and the
environment.
2. Support Working Families

· Pass national paid sick leave.
· Pass national paid family leave.
· Make Pre-K, after-school programs and
childcare universal.
· Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit.
· Allow students to refinance student loan
debt to take advantage of lower interest rates.
3. Tax Fairness

· Close the carried interest loophole.
· End tax breaks for companies that ship jobs
overseas.
· Implement the “Buffett Rule” so
millionaires pay their fair share.
· Close the CEO tax loophole that allows
corporations to take advantage of “performance pay” write-offs.

Then they can stand apart if they wish -- but that's a mistake. And Sharpton didn't see it that way.
Economics is the underlying factor, as Baltimore makes plainly clear

Some early feedback from civil rights world:
nothing in here that addresses criminal justice issues and policing (especially) -- "structural racism relates
to all these issues" - and that is what they are all focused on right now.

All good choices, but make sure we invite the head of the larger NAACP first (the parent

NAACP Legal Defense Fund Sheralynn Ifill (spelling?)
Barbara Arnwein noted civil rights attorney (until recently the head of the Lawyers Committee for
Civil Rights Under Law)
Karen Narasaki, most notable Asian American civil rights attorney/leader
MALDEF (Mexican American Legal and Defense Fund) – Thomas Saenz President

MBDB was fantastic. Gave a tight opening,
showed the low, allowed enough questions &
answered all of them to participants’ satisfaction,
I believe…

Finished in 25 minutes.
A few notes:
Barbara Lee – asked about racial

justice/Baltimore/how do we elevate. MBDB
gave solid answer & said we can’t run away from
connection between racial justice and economic
justice.
Shankowsky – what do you want us to do?

MBDB: Organize. Elevate. (He didn’t tell them
to bring their fellow CPC members with them on
the 12th - and I’m glad about that - because
now I’m worried we may have TOO many people
there in person (and not enough time to
accommodate everyone). The folks who want to
climb on board & be there in person will find out
- I have no doubt.
Rangel – Mentioned something about trade -

sorta sounded like a half-pitch on behalf of
Obama on trade/half tirade on GOP hating
Obama. Mentioned infrastructure investment.
MBDB handled well - referenced some things
that Rangel & he had discussed before. All good.
Ellison – Voter turnout needs to be a part of our

agenda. BDB agrees - says a bold agenda
is the best way to get people to turn out.
Raul - had a question that I missed, and then he

fell off the call.
Elana might have noted something I missed, but

there was nobody saying that we weren’t being
bold enough - just folks saying that they wanted
to include other things down the line. Peace,
love, and harmony.

Lacey, here's text after my edit. Can you look it over and let me know if you see any
problems? Length was a concern, and it needed to move more quickly into their program, so
I tightened up the history section at the top. I don't think we lost anything of substance, and
you can see may trims in brackets and caps. I also had to trim out the reference to the
Stiglitz report -- there's just no way for us or readers to evaluate report that isn't actually out
yet.
Please make any changes in all caps, and I'll send it to be copy-edited as soon as I have your
reply. Would be good if we could do that by noon. Later in the day we'll run into daily copy,
and it will force some of the work to tomorrow, which will delay publication.
Best,
Mike
by Elizabeth Warren and Bill de Blasio
In this land of big dreams, there was never a dream bigger or more important than the one
so deeply rooted in our values that
it became known as the American Dream. Across generations, [NOTES:AND GEOGRAPHY, ]
Americans shared the belief that hard
work would bring opportunity and a better life. [NOTES:FOR EVERYONE. ] America wasn't
perfect, but we invested in our kids
and put in place policies to build a strong middle class.
We don't do that anymore, and the result is clear: The rich get richer, while everyone else
falls behind. The game is rigged,
and the people who rigged it want it to stay that way. They claim that if we act to improve
the economic well-being of hard-working
Americans - whether by increasing the minimum wage, reining in lawbreakers on Wall Street
or doing practically anything else
- we will threaten economic growth.
They are wrong.
That thinking is backwards. [NOTES:, AND A NEW REPORT FROM ECONOMIST JOSEPH E.
STIGLITZ AND THE ROOSEVELT INSTITUTE IS EXPECTED
TO PROVIDE MORE EVIDENCE OF THAT NEXT WEEK.]
[NOTES:IN FACT, ]
[NOTES:AS A GROWING BODY OF RESEARCH SHOWS, ] An increasing disparity between rich
and poor, cronyism and an economic system
[NOTES:AN ECONOMY ] that works only for those at the [NOTES:VERY ] top are bad for the

middle class and bad for our economy.
When the economy works for everyone, consumers have money to spend at businesses, and
when businesses have more customers
they build more factories, hire more workers and sell more products - and the economy
grows. [NOTES:BUT WHEN CUSTOMERS DON'T
HAVE MONEY, THEY CAN'T BUY, AND THAT MEANS BUSINESSES CAN'T GROW.] For decades,
our economy was built around this core understanding.
[NOTES:WE EMBRACED THE IDEA THAT WE WERE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. ] We made big
investments in the things that would create opportunities
for everyone: public schools and universities; roads and bridges and power grids; research
that spurred new industries, [NOTES:NEW
] technologies - and [NOTES:NEW ] jobs - here in America. We supported strong unions that
pushed for better wages and working
conditions, seeing those unions improve lives both for their [NOTES:OWN ] members and for
workers everywhere, union or not.
And it worked. From the 1930s to the late 1970s, as GDP went up, wages increased more or
less across the board. [NOTES:IN
FACT, 90 PERCENT OF ALL WORKERS GOT ABOUT 70 PERCENT OF ALL NEW INCOME
GROWTH. SURE, THE RICHEST 10 PERCENT GOBBLED UP MORE
THAN THEIR SHARE, BUT OVERALL, ] As the economic pie got bigger, pretty much everyone
was getting a little more. That was
how America built a great middle class.
And then in the early 1980s, a new theory swept the country. Its disciples claimed that if
government policies took care of
the rich and powerful, wealth would trickle down for everyone else. [NOTES:IN SHORT
ORDER, ] Trickle-down believers cut taxes
sharply for those at the top and pushed for "deregulation" that hobbled the cops on Wall
Street and let the most powerful
corporations far too often do as they pleased.
Trickle-down economics failed disastrously. The rich and powerful have become richer and
more powerful, while everyone else
has been left behind. In the past [NOTES:LAST ] 35 years, the top 10 percent got all the
growth in income. [NOTES:- ALL
OF IT. ] The rest of America - 90 percent of Americans - got nothing. Zip. Zero.
Government policies matter and can make a difference. Strengthening the American dream
is about the basics:
l
Make work pay by increasing the minimum wage, empowering unions to bargain collectively,

ending abusive scheduling practices
for hourly workers, getting people the overtime pay they deserve, ensuring equal pay for
equal work, and making sure employers
follow the law and respect the rights of workers.
l
End the squeeze on working parents by passing a paid family leave requirement and
investing in child care, after-school programs
and extended learning days. Let families with children have a chance to balance careers with
quality time together.
l
Ensure everyone can get a great education without drowning in debt. Rein in the cost of
college and allow families to refinance
student loans at lower rates. Give every child [NOTES:IN AMERICA ] access to full-day pre-
kindergarten. Education is still
the best ticket to the middle class.
l
Focus on research and innovation needed to develop the technologies of the future.
Investments in medical and scientific research
let us build whole new industries and give us the chance to create good jobs right here in
America.
l
Invest in infrastructure - in roads, bridges, rail, water, power and broadband. Businesses
[NOTES:-AND THE JOBS THEY CREATE-]
can't grow if the foundation crumbles beneath them. A 21st-century economy needs 21st-
century infrastructure.
l
Strengthen and expand Social Security, not just for today's seniors, but for today's young
people. Work is changing. A strong
Social Security system will ensure that every worker, no matter the number of jobs they
piece together during their careers,
can count on a secure retirement.
l
Strengthen the rules of the marketplace. We don't build a future by turning the biggest

banks loose to do whatever they want,
and markets don't create value when corporations can [NOTES:DELIBERATELY ] cheat people
or roll over their upstart competition.
l
Promote fair trade by embacing [NOTES: - EMBRACE ] only those [NOTES:THE ] trade policies
that strengthen our economy, create
good jobs with good wages and establish fair rules of the road for companies around the
world. Our trade agreements shouldn't
help multinational companies gut environmental, health and safety standards here and
abroad under the guise of promoting commerce.
l
Reform the tax code by ending [NOTES:: END ] the billions in tax breaks for corporations
shipping jobs overseas and [NOTES:THE
] big oil companies, while [NOTES:AND ] leveling [NOTES:LEVEL ] the playing field so that
millionaires and billionaires
pay their fair share. [NOTES:THE DEMAND FOR CHANGE IS UNMISTAKABLE. JUST LAST
MONTH, 60,000 WORKERS IN 200 CITIES TOOK TO
THE STREETS TO FIGHT FOR A HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE. ]
Rebuilding our middle class won't be easy, but real change rarely is. It's time to be bold.
The American dream depends on it.

A few notes… The folks at the WashPost cut our references to Fight for 15… They cut a bunch of other stuff
too (none of it essential). All of this was done for space considerations. The gist of the op-ed is still totally
in tact.
We need sign off by noon today at the latest. I’m fine with it as is. Everybody else okay? If so, I will get
the “agreement” for Phil to sign (I think it should be him & not me).

I think a call to Franken wouldn’t hurt… His team is still digesting the document - so
maybe a little friendly reminder that we’d like a yes on signing/appearing would help light
a spark

OK. Since you want a videographer for the 12 th (correct? As opposed to a still photographer), please
find one locally so we can reduce our NY footprint. And can you inform Aaron of that change or
should someone else?

Hayley (who’s at Hilltop) had someone who could film in lieu of Aaron, I believe.
I don’t know what the needs were for 5/13. It could be that the mayor/Stephanie Yazgi would want
someone to film that day too.
Another option is AKPD's producer, Sarah Hegeman, could find someone who’s local to DC to shoot for us.
So there are a lot of options!

Subject: DC
So with Aaron Cahan, does he need to stay overnight since he is dedicated to the May 12 action
only. Alternatively, could Hilltop or akpd provide a videographer for reimbursement?

Ill chase it down with andrea. 9 is too many people to send to DC. If we need a videographer for the
12 th , it seems we could reimburse Hilltop or someone locally for the cost, instead of adding to

Attached please find the Rolling Stone article (embargoed till tomorrow but we know Morning Joe
has it). I have a printed copy for you.
Overall, I think it is strong. It makes the point clear that you are committed to engaging in a national
conversation on a progressive vision/values and it also allows a bit of insight into your background
and the influence your history has on your ideological positions (ex. going to Nicaragua, etc)
Since I know you will ask, the one downside is that I wish the reporter had not spent so much time
on Bloomberg v. de Blasio and spent more time actually talking substantively about the programs
this administration is pursuing. Pre-K, affordable housing, etc is too much of a side note. But, then
again, it is Rolling Stone magazine.
It gets your message across and tomorrow we can hammer it home
p.s. The First Lady is called a “radical feminist”, which I LOVE!!!!

Bill de Blasio
is trying to
remake
America’s
biggest city –
and he doesn’t
plan to stop
there
By Mark Binelli
O
n e a f ter noon i n
early April, New York
strode onto the back
porch of Gracie Man-
sion, the Upper East
Side mayoral resi-
dence, to bask in the city’s first truly warm
day of spring. It had been an exacting win-
ter, and as de Blasio folded his long frame
into a wicker chair, he announced merri-
ly, “It’s my first outdoor meeting of 2015!”
When the weather suits, the mayor likes to
do business out here, taking advantage of
the spectacular view of the East River and
the Triborough Bridge. A pair of soccer
nets have been set up on the lawn, where
de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray,
occasionally kick a ball around with their
son, Dante, a high school senior.
At six feet five, de Blasio is the tall-
est mayor in New York’s history, and
most chairs aren’t exactly built to fit his
kind. Seated, he often winds up looking
crouched and angular, as if he’s mental-
ly readying himself for an especially dif-
NATIONAL ficult yoga pose. At political events, where
AMBITIONS he’s required to stand beside other speak-
De Blasio is ers or greet constituents, he has the cour-
launching a teous giant’s habit of stooping slightly. His
progressive rhetorical focus can make him seem in-
version of the tense: His hooded eyes and hawkish fea-
“Contract With
tures conjure a bird of prey, and his voice,
America.”

Mayor should be free around 10 tonight.
Will keep you posted on timing.
Can you please remind him to read the Rolling Stone Piece? Also- can you give him a
one pager with bullet points he can easily digest and take with him tomorrow

She’s making news right now in Nevada on immigration and DACA, promising to go
“even further” than the President. Quick summary:
• Pledged to expand President Obama’s

Deferred Action program (DACA) to include the parents of DREAMers and
others – “We should put in place an accessible way for parents of DREAMers
and others to be eligible for the same deferred action as their children”
• Called for more humane treatment of
children at federal detention facilities, stating that “their physical and mental
health are at risk” and “we shouldn’t put children and vulnerable people in big
detention facilities”
• Called for more legal representation,
especially for young immigrants – “I think that people in the immigration
system should be represented”
She also made a comment about undocumented workers in New York paying more in
taxes than some of the biggest New York corporations – will get exact transcript.
Thanks,
Mahen

light on many of these issues. In fact, we’ll be appearing together that morning at an event hosted by the
Roosevelt Institute, where Joe Stiglitz will be unveiling a comprehensive approach to rewriting the rules to
build the middle clas.
