More information to follow, but in the meantime you may contact the Office of State Senator Velmanette Montgomery who is the prime sponsor at 718.643.6140.

- Finally, last week I attended an Interfaith Breakfast with clergy members from the 57th A.D. and beyond hosted by the Office of the Mayor, Michael Bloomberg. The primary focus of the breakfast was Immigration Reform. Although immigration reform lies primarily within the purview of our federal government, the implications would be felt on the local level. As you may know, the southern part of the 57th A.D. has a large immigrant population and I look forward to keeping you informed about any new developments.
