Affordability isn’t a single policy, but it’s an issue that shapes nearly every decision made in your household. I believe the government has a responsibility to ease people’s financial burden by lowering overall costs where possible, holding corporations accountable, and investing in our state’s services and workforce. This legislative session reflects that commitment through practical investments, reforms and measures designed to lower costs and property taxes for working families and small businesses.

Musically, Chapin’s prowess is indisputable: In just nine years he released 12 albums, filled with songs like “Taxi,” “W.O.L.D,” “Circle,” “Sequel,” and of course, “Cat’s In the Cradle,” that cemented his legacy as a magnificent musical storyteller.

It’s difficult to choose one event as the most dramatic, but it’s worth recounting them one by one. The Michigan Democratic primary produced an unexpected victory by progressive candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. President Trump won the state of Michigan in three elections, but with his popularity at an all-time low, a far-left candidate who won on the issue of affordability shouldn’t be counted out. And New York City residents shouldn’t be surprised by the Michigan result, considering that there’s a socialist mayor in City Hall.

Success no longer has one standard definition, nor one pathway. Horace Mann, the father of American public schools, called education “the great equalizer.” If that’s true, it falls to school districts to widen the path, to give students the opportunity to find their own way forward, equipped with the tools to be safe, happy and productive members of their communities.

In an era dominated by screens, we take an intentional approach to technology. We believe in the power of purposeful play, collaborative projects and hands-on learning to foster creativity and critical thinking. Our students have access to tools that prepare them for the future, but we continue to evaluate how and when those tools are used. This year, iPads will remain at school for our kindergarten and first-grade students, allowing them to spend even more time engaged in hands-on learning both at school and at home. As we evaluate this change, we will consider a similar approach for second grade.

The Canadians have been our best friends for as long as I can remember. They were there for us during World War II, when they lost over 40,000 men in battle. They have contributed soldiers to many of our wars, and have stood up for us at the United Nations and around the world. One of the reasons behind the latest insanity is the president’s statement that he is mad at Canada because of the smoke that has drifted south to the United States.

Steven and his wife, Patti Ann, lived in Malverne during that time with their son, Conor, who was born just months after his father was shot. Patti Ann went on to serve two terms as Malverne’s mayor. “Saint of the City” was written by veteran Emmy-award winning WPIX-TV reporter Mary Murphy and produced by Erin Mulvey, a former DEA agent. Filled with facts, emotion and perspective, the film captures the essence of McDonald as an outstanding human being who inspired so many.
