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
Media members visit Kibbutz Kfar Aza in the aftermath of a deadly attack by Hamas terrorists.
The atrocities that have taken place in Israel over the past week are some of the worst savageries the world has ever seen.
Families slaughtered in the dead of night; innocent children burned and beheaded; young and old taken captive. It’s absolutely barbaric.
During this difficult time, the United States must unequivocally stand with our great ally Israel, and our Jewish-American neighbors, against the gross antisemitism and terror backed by Iran, perpetrated by Hamas and Hezbollah.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) released the following statement on October 16 applauding the governments of Greece and Cyprus for helping American citizens leave Israel:
House Republicans are threatening to subpoena former Gov. Andrew Cuomo as they investigate the deaths of nursing home patients during the opening months of the coronavirus pandemic.
They want to ask Cuomo about his administration’s COVID policies — including effectively requiring nursing homes to admit COVID patients from hospitals.
A bipartisan effort from lawmakers is calling on the State Department to use every resource possible to bring Americans home from Israel.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis talks about the effort on PIX11 Morning News.
The last few weeks in Washington have been anything but boring – from the last-minute passage of a bill to temporarily fund the federal government, to the historic removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House. This week, Kurt Semder sat down with Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis to find out her thoughts on the vote, the funding bill and why she is pushing to remove a fellow New York representative from Congress.
The not-for-profit organization operating a temporary migrant shelter in Staten Island is facing criticism from local pols for allegedly ousting the residents of the former senior living facility earlier this year after they were told the site was up for sale.
A 95-year-old veteran was among the some 50 residents at Island Shores Residence at 111 Father Capodanno Blvd. who were displaced in March at the behest of the site operator, Homes for the Homeless.
Now we’re talking!
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) is already moving to draft a resolution to have Congressman Jamaal “The Fire Alarm Guy” Bowman (D-NY) expelled from the House of Representatives after he pulled a fire alarm at the Cannon House Office Building ahead of a motion to adjourn on Saturday.
Bowman claims it was a mistake. He said he thought that pulling the alarm would open the door.
Malliotakis isn’t having it.
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.
A 95-year-old Korean War veteran said he was given less than two months’ notice to figure out where he was going to live after the nursing home he resided in was sold to become a facility for undocumented migrants.
