Cuomo’s car parked (illegally) outside union HQ.
I asked a cop nearby if it was parked illegally. He said “yes.”
Why? “Because it got two tickets already”

Last night we heard a lot of complaints about the “dangers” posed by CitiBike, especially to senior citizens.
We’re here to remind everyone that no one’s been killed by someone riding a bike or CitiBike in Bay Ridge
On the other hand, drivers have killed several of our neighbors in recent years 🧵
