NEWYORK: New York city Mayor Eric Adams said that border issue is a major issue, not only for cities like New York, but even Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles, Denver and other cities.
Talking on WABC’s “Eyewitness News at 5:00”, Mayor Adams said that it’s important for not only the White House, but Congress to come together.
“We must have real immigration reform so we can allow people to take the next steps on their journey,” he said.
To a question about severe weather conditions, Mayor Adams said that we have NotifyNYC, we use social media, we use all of these methods, but we have to be honest with ourselves. Not everyone is on social media. Not everyone signs up for NotifyNYC.
“We noticed that when we put the drones up and make a notification, it pierces through all the noise and all of the interaction that people normally receive. They hear that drone up flying above their home or their business. It actually causes you to pause and take notice, and it has been amazing how people respond to it, and we’re going to continue to find ways to make these notifications utilizing the drones. Inexpensive, pennies on the dollar to operate, but it can really get the communication out,” he said.
Mayor Adams said that there were three individuals who are extremely competent to continue the work that Laura has really started in FDNY and he will announce their names very soon as he wanted to allow Laura to finish out her time here in FDNY.
To an another question, Mayor Adams said that in November, 70 percent of our garbage is going to be containerized, and now we’re up to the one-to-nine unit housing that must containerize their garbage.
“And you can purchase the bin, it’s roughly around $50, and they’re durable. The bins I’ve had, I’ve had for several years, it’s really a good way to ensure the garbage is protected and it’s rat-proof, where rats cannot get inside and continue to feed off our garbage,” he added.
