the feet of outgoing Gov. Andrew
Cuomo, and said that he
believes things will be fi xed
once the scandal-scarred
chief executive leaves offi ce
on Aug. 24.
“Let’s take one second to
celebrate that we will no longer
have to deal with the guy
that did not do the ERAP correctly,”
Rivera said. “Goodbye
Cuomo! The money that they
were supposed to send us because
of the ERAP program
we approved, Cuomo messed
that up because he was too
worried about other things.”
“I hope that the new governor
calls us back to session
immediately,” Rivera said.
Assembly Member Karines
Reyes concurred with
Rivera, stating that their efforts
to pass protections continue
to not be fulfi lled, leaving
New Yorkers to remain
vulnerable.
“We passed the excluded
workers fund, they have yet to
receive any money. We passed
the ERAP, they have to receive
any money. How can we
allow this eviction moratorium
to expire if every measure
we have put in place to
protect our constituents has
yet to come to fruition,” Reyes
asked.
Attendees culminated the
rally with a march while continuing
to chant, “End it with
the fl ick of a pen!”
