New York City Mayor Eric Adams tonight released the following statement after Iran launched a drone attack against the State of Israel:
“New York City unequivocally stands with the State of Israel in the face of this direct attack and escalation by Iran. I have been briefed on the situation unfolding abroad and we pray for the safety of all in the region.
“As mayor of the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, the significance of this attack for Jewish New Yorkers — many of whom have family in Israel right now — is not lost on me, especially less than 10 days before Passover begins.
“While there is no direct or imminent threat to New York City at this time, we have directed the NYPD to deploy additional resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship citywide out of abundance of caution to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to feel safe.
“Our administration has also begun outreach to both Jewish leaders and elected officials across the five boroughs to keep them apprised of the situation.
“Our intelligence and counterterrorism teams will continue to closely monitor the situation.”

You should know that in one of his first public appearances, after having resigned as Governor for New York State, Andrew Cuomo will be visiting the South Bronx. His visit to the Bronx is to meet with Members of “The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, which I preside over.
As you know, last summer Governor Cuomo resigned, when he was accused and practically abandoned by all his friends, politicians, and community groups, whom he had helped in the past. These so-called friends, and groups that were all too happy to kiss his ring, joined the “cancel culture” environment, that plaques us all, without due process, they washed their hands with a dismissive attitude, sending the message “Crucify him, crucify him”.
Several courts and judges have dismissed the allegations of “sexual harassment” against Governor Cuomo. With this episode behind him, Governor Cuomo has begun to visit and make public appearances by visiting different faith-based organizations and community groups.
It is very important for you to know that Governor Cuomo’s first public visit was to “God’s Battalion of Prayer Temple” in East Flatbush, Brooklyn on Sunday March 06, 2022. His next planned visit is to the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization” in the South Bronx.
You should also know that in a recent poll, Governor Cuomo, without being a candidate nor having announced his political aspirations, has polled with just four (4) points behind Governor Kathy Hochul.
As you know, Governor Hochul was a friend and she was handpicked by Cuomo to be his Lieutenant Governor. However, she was among one of the first to throw him under the bus, in the midst of the allegations, launched against him.
I imagine that those four (4) points will evaporate very soon and Governor Hochul will have to consider asking Governor Cuomo for his support, if she wishes to be officially elected by the people to the governorship.
As President of the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, I am looking forward to hosting Governor Cuomo on Thursday, March 17, 2022. We welcome him to the South…

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today highlighted last-minute filing resources for taxpayers who have yet to submit their personal income tax returns. The deadline to file and pay any taxes owed is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) Monday, April 15, 2024.
“The Tax Department website is full of valuable resources to help taxpayers file an accurate and on-time return by the April 15 deadline,” said New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Acting Commissioner Amanda Hiller. “Meet your tax obligations in the easiest way possible by using resources available on the Tax Department website at tax.ny.gov.”
Many New Yorkers qualify to e-file their state and federal taxes for free with the Direct File and Free File programs:
Direct File
New York State and the IRS have developed a new program that allows eligible New Yorkers to e-file their federal and state personal income tax returns for free. The Direct File pilot program is currently open to New Yorkers reporting certain types of income and claiming certain credits and adjustments.
Free File
Taxpayers may also be eligible to use Free File software to e-file their federal and state income tax returns—at no cost. To avoid fees, carefully review eligibility criteria for each software provider and access Free File software directly from the Tax Department’s website at tax.ny.gov (search: Free File).
If you do not qualify to use one of New York’s Free File software providers, you still have choices. See Other e-file options on the Tax Department website to learn more.
