CB 8 Roosevelt Island Committee Chair Paul Krikler and Public Member Jimmy Starance spoke with residents during yesterday's Saturday Farmers Market at Good Shepherd Plaza urging them to attend the July 1 meeting and express their views on local issues to NY State Senator Liz Krueger and NY State Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright.

Mr Krikler adds:

COME TELL YOUR STATE ELECTED REPS YOU WANT A BIGGER SAY IN HOW RIOC IS RUN

The next CB8RI meeting is on July 1 at 630pm on Zoom.

We will be joined by State Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright. Our State elected representatives are the only ones who can help us with the imbalance of power many of us feel in dealing with RIOC.

Almost 1,100 people signed our petition demanding direct election of all Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) board members; this is a very significant number out of 12,000 residents. We need this for two reasons:

(i) Better oversight of RIOC

(ii) A bigger say in how things are done for the betterment of the community.

RIOC Communicaitons Director Bryan Daniels is also expected to attend and available to discuss Roosevelt Island issues.
