BRONX / SDNY
COURT, Jan 10 – In the
aftermath of the deadly Bronx
fire, U.S. Senator Chuck
Schumer on January 11
scheduled a Zoom appearance
for media.
Inner City
Press RSVP-ed and called in
from the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York.
Sen. Schumer has
written to HUD Secretary
Marcia Fudge, noting that he
helped rapidly confirm her and
that
"Twin Parks North
West, Where Bronx Fire
Occurred, Has 120 Housing
Units; 90 Have Federal Housing
Vouchers Attached To Their
Rents
Senator Says ALL 90 Are
Eligible To Move To ANY
Eligible Building That Accepts
Housing Vouchers As
Payment."
Good. But
what about the other thirty
families, without Federal
housing vouchers? The Office
of Bronx Borough President
Vanessa L. Gibson has sent the
Press these links, here
and here.
In other
DC confirmation news, while it
is unclear when Senator
Schumer's nominee for the
Second Circuit Court of
Appeals Alison J. Nathan will
be considered by the full
Senate, issues of public
access to proceedings and
filings in the recent US v. Ghislaine Maxwell trial,
now called into question by
lack of transparency in jury
selection, will be the subject
of another story.
As well
the New York Senate
delegation's approach to the
United Nations including
its ongoing
ban
on NY-based Inner City Press.
