Another Ferry for Staten Island
Mayor de Blasio was on Errol Louis’ show talking about the new Staten Island ferry.
This ferry is operated by a subcontractor through the EDC. (Photos here)
It takes 18 minutes to get to Battery Park and 35 minutes to get from Staten Island to 39th Street in Manhattan. (More info)

It cost $2.75 (it’s not the free ferry that the Department of Transportation has already). It’s at another pier a few blocks away.
While these ferry rides are $2.75 a person, they cost NYC around $10 each. (Source) How come no one is asking that? No one is wondering why Staten Island got another ferry? Someone is making some serious CHA-Ching.
Whenever the EDC is involved, it’s always bad news.

August 23, 2021NYC School Staff Must be Vaxed by 9/27 and Pfizer Vaccine is FDA Approved Today
Mayor de Blasio mandated that teachers and public school staff must receive one vaccination by September 27, 2021. Previously, teachers were permitted to get the vaccination or get tested weekly. Currently, almost 80% are vaccinated.
This morning they also announced that the Pfizer vaccine has been FDA approved. (See here and here)
That should help rest the minds of those who have been vaccine hesitant.
We hope that you get vaccinated…….especially, if you are a parent (See here, here and here).
