Message:	As my representative on the City Council, I am asking you to pass the Fair Wages for New Yorkers Act, Intro 251-A. With more than 1 in 5 New Yorkers now living below the poverty line, there is no better time than now to fight for common sense legislation that improves wages and ensures accountable development. New Yorkers want and deserve to know that public investment will result in living wage jobs for their communities. The real estate interests are saying a lot. But they are conveniently forgetting this bill would only apply to new, large, multi-use developments that receive large tax subsidies and that small businesses, nonprofits, manufacturing, and affordable housing projects are exempt from this bill. If you are a sponsor of the bill, we thank you for standing up for working families. We need living wages and we need them now. Thank you.
