Chip along with a few others joined State Senators Brian Kavanagh and Roxanne Persaud to talk about the failures of CERAP and OTDA. Their inability to fix the technical issues with the application program and their lack of agility of sending out the funds are just two of the reasons that has kept a lot of New Yorker's stressed and frustrated.

Along with that a new mask mandate is being issued, or should I say vaccination mandate. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is mandating that people be vaccinated in order to participate in any indoor and outdoor activities in the city. This will be called the “Key To NYC Pass” you will need to show proof of vaccination to enter restaurants, gyms, theaters etc.  This will be implemented on August 16th but will start to be enforced September 13th.
