The CoViD-19 pandemic hit the South Bronx especially hard, but the area’s economy has shown resiliency, according to a report released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.

“The South Bronx was hard hit by the CoViD-19 pandemic but was resilient because of dedicated and hardworking neighborhood groups and advocates, and the strength of its residents,” said DiNapoli. “Still, the need for more affordable housing, jobs and quality of life improvements remains pivotal to the community’s long-term success.”

.

Despite the impact of the pandemic, jobs and businesses grew faster in the South Bronx than the rest of the borough and city. This was due in part to community-led investments through the pandemic, stemming from the city’s public-private partnerships to develop commercial, housing and cultural projects. From 2011 to 2022, the South Bronx saw a 25% and 20% increase in jobs and businesses, respectively, led by the health care and social assistance sector. While the area lost 7.7% (6,150) of jobs gained the decade prior due to CoViD-19, the South Bronx added 4,679 jobs in 2022, while new businesses saw an uptick. Federal pandemic assistance helped many South Bronx businesses stay afloat, and in 2022, the area had 78,476 private sector jobs, which accounted for almost one-third of jobs boroughwide.

“Though the South Bronx was negatively impacted by the CoViD-19 pandemic, thanks to the creative solutions…

Editorial

You should know that in one of his first public appearances, after having resigned as Governor for New York State, Andrew Cuomo will be visiting the South Bronx. His visit to the Bronx is to meet with Members of “The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, which I preside over.

As you know, last summer Governor Cuomo resigned, when he was accused and practically abandoned by all his friends, politicians, and community groups, whom he had helped in the past. These so-called friends, and groups that were all too happy to kiss his ring, joined the “cancel culture” environment, that plaques us all, without due process, they washed their hands with a dismissive attitude, sending the message “Crucify him, crucify him”.

Several courts and judges have dismissed the allegations of “sexual harassment” against Governor Cuomo. With this episode behind him, Governor Cuomo has begun to visit and make public appearances by visiting different faith-based organizations and community groups.

It is very important for you to know that Governor Cuomo’s first public visit was to “God’s Battalion of Prayer Temple” in East Flatbush, Brooklyn on Sunday March 06, 2022. His next planned visit is to the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization” in the South Bronx.

You should also know that in a recent poll, Governor Cuomo, without being a candidate nor having announced his political aspirations, has polled with just four (4) points behind Governor Kathy Hochul.

As you know, Governor Hochul was a friend and she was handpicked by Cuomo to be his Lieutenant Governor. However, she was among one of the first to throw him under the bus, in the midst of the allegations, launched against him.

I imagine that those four (4) points will evaporate very soon and Governor Hochul will have to consider asking Governor Cuomo for his support, if she wishes to be officially elected by the people to the governorship.

As President of the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, I am looking forward to hosting Governor Cuomo on Thursday, March 17, 2022. We welcome him to the South…

This past season in Major League Baseball, few stories were as compelling as the Cincinnati Reds’ dramatic turnaround. From the depths of a 100-loss season to the brink of playoff glory in just one year, the Reds have redefined resilience and potential. This transformation, spearheaded by an influx of young talent, has not only re-energized the organization but also rekindled the hopes of its fan base, who has not seen their team win a playoff series since 1995. 

As they stand on the precipice of greater success, the Reds now face a critical juncture. To evolve from plucky upstarts to perennial contenders, they must address the most paramount concern–the pitching staff. This blog post will explore the Reds’ journey, dissect their financial commitments and player contracts, and discuss strategic decisions that could shape their destiny.

Rebuilding the Foundation: The Reds’ Young Core and Strategic Decisions

The Reds’ unexpected playoff push in 2023 is a testament to the power of youth and potential. This surge was primarily driven by a core of talented young players who graduated from prospects to Major League contributors. However, the journey from a clear rebuilder to a potential Wild Card team didn’t come without its challenges and strategic maneuvers.

The Reds’ financial landscape is an intricate tapestry woven with guaranteed contracts, option decisions, and additional commitments. The spotlight falls on players like Hunter Greene, with a significant $50MM commitment through 2028, and Joey Votto, whose future…
