STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — As Staten Islanders reel from a series of recent youth fatalities, many of the Island’s elected officials suggested a host of changes to stop the tide of violence.
The suggestions range from added resources in schools to making modifications to the Raise the Age Law.
Here’s a look at six ideas Staten Island elected officials, representative of different levels of government, suggested when contacted by the Advance/SILive.com.
1. MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
A local organization in Brooklyn reached out to our office after being overcharged thousands of dollars by the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) to utilize space.
The organization, which runs a longtime Saturday children's program at a public school in Bay Ridge, received a permit bill of $48,000. Generally, they are charged between $8,000-$9,000 for the entire year.
Our office reached out to NYC DOE on this organization's behalf and resolved the billing error, saving the organization roughly $40,000 this year.
(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Today Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) released the following statement regarding the potential closure of the migrant shelter located at the former Richard H. Hungerford School in Stapleton:
Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis on Wednesday praised the court ruling that would force the city to clear out a temporary migrant shelter in the borough.
Judge Wayne Ozzi on Tuesday called into question the city’s 42-year-old “right to shelter” policy, arguing against the “consent decree” that has been interpreted as a mandate to provide shelter. He argued the decree is meant to provide emergency housing for New Yorkers, and therefore, does not apply to migrant asylum seekers.
(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today joined a bipartisan group of local elected officials to renew calls for the Biden Administration, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams to drop any plans to use Staten Island's Fort Wadsworth as a migrant shelter.
The House on Wednesday voted in favor of barring the use of public schools and colleges that receive federal funds as shelters for migrants.
The Schools Not Shelters Act passed the lower chamber in a 222-201 vote, with four Democrats joining all Republicans to vote in support of the legislation.
