Dear Friend:
At my swearing-in ceremony a few weeks ago, I announced that I will be hosting the first-ever 25th Senate District Community Convention in March.
As part of my plan to make our state government more open and accessible than ever before, I am inviting constituents from all over my district to join me at this convention, on March 15th. At our convention, I will ask you to help me shape my priorities and strategies as I work hard for our district in this, my first year in office.
(Please note that the community convention is rescheduled from the original March 1st date!)
I hope you will bring your ideas, and your perspectives, on what our state government can do to improve our communities and step up more effectively to respond to these difficult times. I want your ideas on housing, on transportation, on the state budget, and on the myriad issues that we can take on to make New York a better place to live.
If you would like to join us for the 25th Senate District Community Convention, please RSVP today to convention@danielsquadron.org. The convention will be on Sunday, March 15th, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), 199 Chambers Street (just west of Greenwich).
Please RSVP today to convention@danielsquadron.org! I look forward to seeing you on March 15th.
Best,
Daniel

State Senator Squadron's Testimony
"This rezoning is only one piece of the puzzle. Consideration of this area along the Gowanus Canal should be part of a more comprehensive process that includes the vulnerable neighborhood of Carroll Gardens and goes as far as the Columbia Waterfront. This area -- from the canal to the waterfront -- is historically, architecturally and culturally connected. While I feel that expediency in the rezoning of each is positive, it is critical to understand the entire context; this process should include it all." (See PMFA for rest)
