NEW YORK CITY — Fifty-eight elected officials added their voices to a growing chorus of concerns over an upcoming New York City tax lien sale.

The coronavirus crisis isn’t the time to go forward with the planned Sept. 4 tax sale, which includes more than 4,700 small homes, the officials wrote in a letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday.

“This decision to move forward with the lien sale is especially difficult to comprehend in light of evidence that it inordinately impacts communities of color,” the officials wrote. “The City is far more likely to sell a lien in a majority Black or Hispanic neighborhood than in a majority white neighborhood.”

Attorney General Letitia James sent the letter alongside 57 other elected officials, including City Council Speaker Corey Johnson and Comptroller Scott Stringer.

It comes after another set of elected officials made a similar recent demand by letter. Mayor Bill de Blasio, in response to a Patch reporter’s question last week,declared the tax lien sale would go forward.Subscribe

De Blasio argued the properties had gone into arrears for unpaid debts before the pandemic and the city, which faces a looming budget crunch, could use the funds.

“I believe the dollar figure projected is $57 million — that’s a serious amount of money,” he said.

But advocates and elected officials argued the sale — which sells properties’ debts on taxes, bills and other charges to collectors — would unfairly create burdens primarily on communities of color.

James’ letter argued people of color who borne the brunt of the coronavirus, whether medically or economically, will have to contend with the sale’s onerous terms.

“The outcome of this process is not a mystery: more New Yorkers, many of whom owned their homes outright or benefitted from significant equity, will lose their homes to foreclosure, depriving them of their single most valuable asset and dramatically destabilizing their lives,” the letter states. “Others will be compelled to sell under duress during an undoubted drop in the housing market.”

The letter calls for the city to remove small homes that are three units or fewer from the lien sale and delay it altogether.

“By moving forward with this lien sale, New York City is making an affirmative decision to further destabilize New Yorkers encountering financial hardship in order to enrich private investors,” the letter states. “We strongly urge you to reverse this decision and cancel the lien sale immediately.”

Thursday is the last day New Yorkers can pay off debts and have properties removed from the sale.

Grace and Peace!

PLEASE, stand up like a man of principle for New York City “for profit” citizen small businesses!

My husband and I are Harlem sole proprietors, self-employed and we never had a chance obtaining our tax money under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) when up against “not-for-profits” that produce nothing and beg for our donations.

You work for us!

Then Do what we say! VOTE FOR US!

EXTEND THE PPP for small businesses that produce; especially we that are deemed “essential services” and do a “separate” hosptial bill later and NO OTHER PORK!

Don’t Listen to Pelosi! Are you aware that the homeless encampments in San Fran where she is from are so bad/nasty in front of small businesses that they have caused “bubonic plague???”

She’s not for us! You are supposed to be for us and we want SEPARATE PURE FINANCIAL HELP FOR US NOW!

Don’t delay as you did with unemployment sba help. We haven’t seen that yet either.

STOP THE POLI-TRICKS FOR I REBUKE SUCH ACTIVITIES IN THE MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS!

Thank you!

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s despicable baiting of Samaritan’s Purse By Bob McManusApril 3, 2020 | 8:00pm

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s despicable baiting of Samaritan’s Purse

By Bob McManus

Emergency field hospital set up by Christian charity group Samaritan’s Purse in Central Park’s East Meadow.Reuters

Never look a gift horse in the mouth, they say, though when Mayor Bill de Blasio is on hand, the other end of the animal is usually involved.

Gotham’s chief executive this week might have accepted with some grace an offer of assistance from a crisis-tested, and devoutly Christian, emergency-relief organization — but he gave it the fisheye instead.

It seems that in Blasville, evangelical Christians armed with tons of the sophisticated medical equipment so sorely lacking in the city right now, plus the expertise to use it, are presumptively suspect. And are perhaps to be expelled.

Thus it was with Samaritan’s Purse, the unapologetically fundamentalist rolling rescue squad perhaps best known for the Ebola clinics it established in West and Central Africa over the past decade.

And, of course, for its traditionalist views on homosexuality and same-sex marriage — neither of which the group has much patience for. And that’s to put it mildly.

Which isn’t surprising, given that Samaritan’s Purse was founded by Franklin Graham, the son of tent-revivalist-cum-counselor-to-presidents Billy Graham — a fellow who pulled no punches when it came to the tension between his view of Scripture and contemporary American mores. He was, in a word, a scold.

Franklin minces no words ­either, which is entirely his business. But he also lives his views — hence Samaritan’s Purse, which draws its name from the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan and which defines its mission in simple terms.

“‘Why did you come?’ ” asks its website. “The answer is always the same: ‘We have come to help you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.’”

Those are jarring words to many — but the fact is, whether it’s Ebola in Africa, brutal sectarian warfare in the Balkans or even tornados in Tennessee, ­Samaritan’s Purse arrives and sets about doing what it sees as God’s work.

It has been active in Italy since coronavirus first emerged there and on its own initiative has constructed a military-grade field hospital in Central Park to ease pressure on Mount Sinai Medical Center, should it come to that.

Enter de Blasio and his band of Merry Wokesters.

“I said immediately to my team that we had to find out ­exactly what was happening,” said Hizzoner. “Was there going to be an approach that was truly consistent with the values [of] New York City?”

Right, because one can never be too careful about that sort of thing. What if the KKK offered to help?

Of course, there will be Martians setting up tents in Central Park before David Duke shows up — and even that is more likely than Kleagles running ­Ebola clinics in Africa. So this is not an argument, it’s a deflector shield.

Action matters, not words, in times like these — and in that respect, the Samaritan’s Purse response very much evokes the massive volunteer presence at Ground Zero in the hours and days following the 9/11 attacks.

As stunned firefighters poked helplessly at the smoking rubble — now aware that rescue was no longer the mission, only ­recovery — scores of emergency response and support vehicles from all over the East Coast sat parked on the perimeter, with hundreds of out-of-state first responders ready to assist in any way they could.

In the event, there wasn’t much to do, but this much was clear: New York was hurting, and America had come to help. No questions asked.

Leave it to de Blasio to ask ugly questions. But even he isn’t dense enough to run off Samaritan’s Purse.

“We’re going to send people over from [my] office to monitor” the hospital, he now says. “I’m very concerned to make sure this is done right. But if it is done right, of course, we need all the help we can get.”

Of course.

He’s some piece of work, Hizzoner. If anybody needs a monitor to make sure things are done right, it’s him. (Happily for Gotham, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has assumed that role.)

As for Samaritan’s Purse, there will be plenty of time to consider the social views of its founder after this emergency has passed.

Right now, it is here to help — and, dare one say it, bless ’em for that. Better yet, find them on the internet and send them a couple of bucks; A good Samaritan’s work is expensive, and it’s never done.

Be Strong and Take Courage

We Cut the Cord! $150 Per Month Savings with Better Reception, Control & Preferred Super Bowl Setup – YES!!!!

After 17 years of a Verizon unlisted phone line with Internet 10 Mbps per min. & 18 years of Direct TV we cut the cords!

We slashed $150 per month of our budget, but we still enjoy the great TV we like to watch and we just found out that our Super Bowl Experience will be fantabulous!

We replaced Verizon with 250 Mbps of Internet-only Spectrum.  We monthly subscribe to fubo TV about $65.00 per month where we get the FOX Sports App.  Clear 4K picture which we have not been able to access even though we have a 4K TV because Direct TV (AT&T) wanted us to pay $10 a month more to use. – REALLY?

AT&T kept combining the business cell phone account that I held and the residential account my husband – why?  Also, the AT&T call center was in El Salvador and India.  Couldn’t find any Americans who would like to work?  I’m thinking about changing cell phone carriers as well.

Everything is on the table!  I promised God I would do better money management this year and for the rest of my life.

We have Amazon Prime, FIRE TV Cube and Fire TV Recast DVR,.  We also bought an American Made OTA (over the air antenna) by Clearstream Eclipse, limit China-made goods here!

Guess what?

MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES! ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS VOTE IN USA ELECTIONS!

An email I sent to Linda Guy, Chief of Staff of Councilman Perkins of NYC Council

January23, 2020

Good Day Linda,

PLEASE convey to Councilman Perkins my opinion and strong, strong desire of defeating  Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez’s bill to allow NON-CITIZENS to vote in NYC.

 

It will literally KILL United States Citizen’s rights and privileges and put us DOWN on a spiraling plane of destruction.  I am clearly willing to testify on behalf of Americans in particular African-Americans for the utter DEFEAT of this bill.

“MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES”

I do not know of any country, group, private club, school, sorority, fraternity, church, mosque, synagogue, etc let a “non-member vote on their policies or does not “charge more” to non-members for events.

Do you?

If so name one for me, please??

You can’t!

 

It’s self-destructive that’s why?

 

Yet, this immigrant Councilman Rodriguez wants TO GIVE AWAY THE CITIZEN RIGHT TO VOTE TO NON-CITIZENS!

A small group of activists trying to destroy the everyday citizen in NYC.

 

I REBUKE THEM IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

cOUNCIL MAN PERKINS – VOTE NO!!!!

On the eve of Martin Luther King Jr., Day. When my black relatives sacrificed, were abused, and died to give us the right to vote and folks are going to just give it away to folks with no stakes because they pay taxes?

What taxes?

How much?

What return on investment do we get for the “little taxes” you pay for the damage your vote will do to our everyday life?

The taxes these green card folks pay are the FEES FOR THE PRIVILEGE of being here.

They have NO LOYALTY TO USA. They can’t vote!

Do you let someone come in your house and because they paid admission to come in to tell you how to run your house?

No! You are a fool if you let them tell you how to run your house.

Well, my Nana did not raise any fool.

Put this Councilman in check.

It’s interesting that ever since he got his office all he has tried to do is UNDERMINE the American Citizens in favor of non-citizens.

He needs to be put out of the City Council.

Does a non-citizen want to vote??

There’s a process to become a citizen.  Put some skin in the game and do it!

VOTE NO!!!

Thank you
