Wouldn't it be nice to have subway platform barriers with built-in coffee stands? Alas, NYC doesn't have them, so here are stories to read while you stand behind the yellow line: Bad early voting turnout, Hochul's Virginia home, $20K broker's fee and more. https://t.co/ehI5zpOLsW — PolitiTweet.org

“There’s this resistance from the village to have minorities at that beach," said Tela Troge, a tribal attorney leading the latest campaign for beach access. "How else do you justify charging us $500 to go to our ancestral beach?” https://t.co/ayI5WI5jOK — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s regarded as one of the top beaches in the country and we intend to keep it that way,” says Roy Stevenson, a village board member. “If you are a taxpayer, one of the reasons you pay a tax in the village may be to have access to the beach.” https://t.co/ayI5WI5jOK — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this summer, a group of tribal leaders began pushing for their own beach passes. Southampton Village Mayor Jesse Warren initially agreed to strike a deal with the tribe, but the proposal was quickly shot down by the local board of trustees. https://t.co/ayI5WI5jOK — PolitiTweet.org

For the homeowners and renters of Southampton Village, parking at the beach is free. But the Shinnecock's 1,600 citizens—roughly half of whom live roughly a mile inland, just beyond the village’s borders—must pay for the privilege to drive to the beach. https://t.co/ayI5WI5jOK — PolitiTweet.org

Citizens of the Shinnecock Indian Nation say they are being denied their rightful access to Coopers Beach on Long Island, accusing the local government of gatekeeping a pristine shoreline the coastal tribe has navigated for thousands of years.

More than three years after New York lawmakers restricted landlords’ ability to jack up the rent in regulated apartments, some property owners are using a gray area in the law to create “Frankenstein” apartments and dramatically raise the rent. https://t.co/vg9Oo5QCCL — PolitiTweet.org

However, the documents illustrate a lobbying effort that was extensive, close with those in power, and happening at a time when de Blasio had suspended the city’s normal procurement procedures. Read our full investigation: https://t.co/mxT165AOgM — PolitiTweet.org

The records don’t indicate that the mayor’s adviser was involved in the contract. Delos said it was unaware of the relationship at the time. Kasirer said all regulations were followed. https://t.co/mxT165AOgM — PolitiTweet.org

Gothamist @Gothamist

Email and text-message records reveal that one of Kasirer’s top lobbyists was in direct contact with City Hall on behalf of Delos — while her husband was a senior adviser on then-Mayor de Blasio’s COVID-19 response team. https://t.co/mxT165AOgM — PolitiTweet.org

Filings with the city clerk show Delos Living paid $375,000 to a well-connected lobbying firm called Kasirer that has targeted a wide range of city officials on Delos’s behalf. But the ties to city government went even deeper. https://t.co/mxT165AOgM — PolitiTweet.org

The air purifiers also have lower air flow rates than other similarly priced models, meaning they don't ventilate and physically clean the air as much as others. Here's our story from last year which goes into more detail about the air flow issues: https://t.co/magu3yqZ7t — PolitiTweet.org

Gothamist @Gothamist

Delos Living's air purifiers do not use HEPA filters, as recommended by the CDC + the EPA to protect against COVID-19. Yet the education department has referred to them as “HEPA purifiers” in messaging to parents. Delos claims they exceed HEPA standards. https://t.co/mxT165AOgM — PolitiTweet.org

A company that sold 160,000 air purifiers to NYC public schools used a high-powered lobbying firm to target key members of city government. New documents obtained by Gothamist show just how close some of those relationships were. https://t.co/mxT165AOgM — PolitiTweet.org

Madison Square Garden hasn’t been subject to any city property taxes since 1982, when the New York state Legislature passed an exemption — now worth an estimated $43 million a year — that remains on the books despite long-standing efforts to repeal it. https://t.co/SuCOc1ahVP — PolitiTweet.org
