NY State Comptroller Di Napoli – Recent Trends and Impacts of COVID-19 on the Bronx
By Robert Press
While the press conference was at the Bronx Brewery in the Northeast Bronx Comptroller DiNapoli and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. had lunch at a nearby diner.
Comptroller Dinapoli holds up his report Recent Trends and Impact of COVID-19 on the Bronx. The twenty page report had some interesting facts, but was not knew to many who were gathered. As in the report most good things for the Bronx went down, while the bad things for the Bronx went up, not enabling the Bronx to give up its sixty-second place out of sixty-two counties in New York State.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. spoke of pre pandemic days during the first ten years of his administration where good things were going up, and bad things were on the decline, and then the pandemic hit, and hit the Bronx worse than any of the other boroughs of New York City. He said the Bronx is still recovering, and it will be up to the next borough president to continue the growth out of the pandemic.
Before he spoke, Congressman Jamaal Bowman received some Bronx advice from Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
There was no getting around receiving a free bottle of ‘The Bronx Hot Sauce’, grown and manufactured in the Bronx.
