Readers sound off on Dan Donovan, gentrification and James Comey
Donovan is bad for Staten Island Staten Island: How on earth can The News endorse Dan Donovan (“Vote Dan Donovan,” editorial, April 14)? He only flip-flopped on the tax bill after hundreds of angry emails and phone calls. Ask him. He has sat on his hands and done nothing the whole time in office. Donovan ( far left in adjacent photo ) has paid lip service to the Second Amendment debate (actually believes the Second gives us all the guns we want, when it says no such thing — why can’t I have a tactical nuke?) on assault weapons and as DA saw a tremendous increase in both gang activity and opioid deaths here on the Rock. He was useless as district attorney, is useless in Congress and is certainly not qualified to serve us. While he is a touch better than the felon Michael Grimm, he cannot touch the ethics, intelligence and forthright manner of Max Rose who is clearly more deserving of your endorsement. Has The News even spoken with Rose, or are … [Read more...] about Readers sound off on Dan Donovan, gentrification and James Comey
The Daily 202: Why Mark Zuckerberg is embracing more regulation of political ads on Facebook
THE BIG IDEA: With Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve. SAN FRANCISCO — When Mark Zuckerberg is under the klieg lights on Capitol Hill today, he will emphasize Facebook’s endorsement of the Honest Ads Act. “We know some members of Congress are exploring ways to increase transparency around political or issue advertising, and we’re happy to keep working with Congress on that,” the founder and chief executive of the social networking giant plans to say, according to his prepared testimony. Technology companies pride themselves on being insulated from the sorts of burdensome government requirements that apply to most other industries. So why on Earth would Zuckerberg support a new law that would be expensive to comply with and, thus, ostensibly hurt his bottom line? Here are six reasons: 1. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Zuckerberg declined to come when Congress beckoned last fall, sending his general counsel to testify in his stead … [Read more...] about The Daily 202: Why Mark Zuckerberg is embracing more regulation of political ads on Facebook
Readers sound off on psychiatric care, child abuse and Rusty Staub
Rug pulled out from mentally ill Albany: I commend the excellent Daily News editorial “Mentally ill, nowhere to go” (April 1). The National Alliance on Mental Illness-New York State wholeheartedly agrees that despite the success of ThriveNYC, people with severe mental illness continue to fall through the cracks as long-term hospital beds increasingly diminish. New York State continues to reduce state hospital beds without making the necessary investments in mental health housing with support services. Without hospital beds or mental health housing, we will surely see more tragic and costly outcomes including homelessness, suicide, entry into the criminal justice system and overdependence on emergency rooms that are ill-equipped to handle those in psychiatric crisis. New York cannot continue to ignore this issue. We also want to express our gratitude to the Daily News for showcasing this issue in a non-stigmatizing manner.
