Jessica Ramos (left) and Robert Jackson are not only battling incumbents. They are also fighting against the notion that Gov. Cuomo has brokered a real and lasting peace between regular Democrats and the Independent Democratic Conference.
The former City Councilmember and former de Blasio administration member discuss their efforts to unseat incumbent State Senators who are members of the IDC, whether they’ll refuse anyone’s donations and how realistic it is to argue that Albany will ever give city schools the funding they deserve.
The de Blasio administration has dedicated money to build a bigger facility so DSNY doesn’t have to use Queens streets to park the trucks that won’t fit in an aging garage. But some residents are upset that a promise for interim relief has yet to be fulfilled.
