This week, Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared together to announce a new plan to jumpstart New York City. Their willingness to align their vision is a welcome change for New Yorkers who grew tired of the constant bickering between former Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Their joint action plan is titled “The New New York: Making New York Work For Everyone.” NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez weigh in on the new proposal and take a look at what it will truly take for a plan like this to work.
Additionally, the team looks at the City Council’s potential ban on automatically including plastic utensils in takeout order. If the new bill is enacted, customers would need to specifically request utensils and condiments as the city aims to decimate the amount of plastic utensils New Yorkers get with their takeout.
New York City has an ambitious goal of zero waste to landfills by 2030. The team takes a look at the habit-changing initiative, and shares their thoughts on whether the legislation is likely to move forward.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of “the new New York.”
