Gregory Meeks and Ritchie Torres also signed the letter. In a letter to the House Appropriations Committee, Goldman and six colleagues said the utility savings would help “address potentially life-threatening harm to public housing residents, including loss of heat in winter, loss of air conditioning in summer, lead, mold, broken elevators and locks.” Goldman, a first-term member representing parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, is urging a Congressional committee to let the New York City Housing Authority hold on to about $50 million in savings it is forced to send to the federal government each year. Dan Goldman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and some of their colleagues want the feds to keep their hands off tens of millions of dollars in heat and electricity savings across New York City’s ailing public housing system, as local leaders try to scrape together funds for needed repairs and upkeep.
