Unveiling of Christopher Rose Way.

Join the Christopher Rose Community Empowerment Campaign   
        Hon. Jumaane D. Williams 
 
 the unveiling of
Christopher Rose Way.
 
Christopher Rose, 15, is  is believed to be the first  person who was murdered in an iPod robbery. I wonder if the young man who killed Christopher would of had a job, or parents with money to buy an iPod for him, or perhaps someone to teach him about materialism and where it leads- would this have happened?

NYC Council Members Arroyo, Levin, Lander, Speaker Quinn, and Vann advocate for a $10 Billion Dollar Waiver

 

 

"We are writing to urge the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to approve the New York State Department of Health (DOH)’s Medicaid 1115 Waiver Amendment.  We are approaching the one-year mark of the State’s request, and the approval of the Waiver has never been more vital to the health of New York State residents and healthcare system.  In New York City, we are faced with a crisis in our healthcare delivery system, as our hospital system struggles to provide the high quality care necessary to meet the needs of our patient population.  The $10 billion Waiver would not only allow the State to invest in innovative models of healthcare delivery, but it would also allow our hospitals to continue providing the care that saves the lives of our residents.
