Elected officials are calling on Mayor Eric Adams to invest in clean, rat-free streets.
City Council member Sandy Nurse addresses Get Sanitation Done rally attendeesAt a City Council hearing on the sanitation budget Friday, elected officials called on Mayor Eric Adams to invest in clean, rat-free streets.
Nurse noted that 311 complaints for missed trash collections have increased in recent years – something Sanitation Department Commissioner Edward Grayson confirmed. He said in some cases that was a direct result of pandemic-related issues, such as a staffing shortage that occurred when employees were out sick during the omicron wave of the coronavirus.
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander affirmed that message at a rally that he attended alongside Nurse and other elected officials and advocates in Brooklyn Thursday. They protested cuts to the city’s sanitation budget in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall.Politicians also framed the sanitation budget as an equity issue.
