">OpEd: Far Left "Progressives" Hurting New Yorkers, Literally
- Politics
- 5 days ago
New York City prides itself on being at the forefront of innovation and adaptability. However, when it comes to the regulation of motorized bikes, we are falling dangerously behind, and the consequences are piling up—literally and figuratively. Despite growing evidence of the hazards posed by these vehicles, some city politicians, like Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, continue to oppose registering motorized bikes. Their resistance endangers public safety and overlooks the needs of the very communities they claim to represent.
