Republican Vito Fossella says he wants the state Legislature to revisit the city's right-to-shelter mandate.
. Why are Staten Island residents and electeds so opposed to this shelter?
And then an elementary school, that's St. Joseph Hill Academy. Then a block away is PS 39, which is an elementary school, which by the way is my alma mater. I used to walk those streets every day when I was a kid. And it's just not right. And we're trying to be the voice of the people to say, “Please pick another location.”
There's a lot of finger pointing that's taking place right now, and that's not going to solve the problem. The problem is going to say, “We can't sustain this.” Which is what we said last year. Less than a year ago, we asked the Independent Budget Office to predict or project how much it would cost to accommodate the migrants at that point in time.
So this is a growing city-state problem, and we would hope that maybe the state Legislature would convene and clarify and put to bed – what it was truly intended to do. So we would like the state to just convene a special session to address the right-to-shelter and anything else that can alleviate the burden that is currently being imposed, not just on Staten Island, but also throughout, as I see it, the rest of New York.
