Dear Constituent: The cold season has begun, and while most of us will not relish the low temperatures over the coming months, we certainly look forward to the holidays and the special emphasis we give to families and friends during this season. In this spirit, I extend and ask that you accept my very best wishes to you and all your loved ones, for good health and happiness and complete safety for the holidays and beyond. As we prepare to welcome and celebrate this spirit and season of joy, it is my hope and also my encouragement to you that we include charity in all we do. Because while many of us have enjoyed prosperity and have been blessed with financial successes throughout this year, so many others may not have had such good fortune. Many of these others will need a kind hand to stay warm, and even to enjoy a meal during this holiday season. So as we celebrate, please remember to share our blessings and joys with others in need. This is another brief report which also contains important information which you should find useful in improving your quality of life. I hope you will take the time to not only read, but also contact me with any questions or suggestions. This will help me serve and represent you better in Albany. Again, all my best wishes for a most enjoyable holiday season, and may God bless you and bless our great nation, state and city. |

Assemblyman Perry Commits $1.3 Million to Fix Up Sutter/Rutland & Newkirk Ave. Subway Stations |
Assemblyman Perry recently met with MTA officials at his district office and continued to press them to repair our community’s subway stations. High on the agenda at the meeting were the Newkirk Avenue and Beverly Road stations on the 2/5 line in East Flatbush, the Rutland/Sutter station in Brownsville and Rockaway Parkway and East 105th Street stations of Canarsie. Assemblyman Perry is pleased to announce that he has secured funding in the amount of $1.3 million to paint and install cameras at the Newkirk station. Additional funding is being sought to paint the Sutter/Rutland and Beverly Road stations and fix all tripping hazards prevalent on the platforms. Assemblyman Perry is eager to have the MTA install cameras at all of these stations. Currently, the Rockaway Parkway and East 105th Street stations, because of the One Person Train Operations program (OPTO), have cameras but these do not satisfy the need for cameras that address safety and security around the full area of the subway station. If you are not satisfied with the appearance and safety of your subway station, Assemblyman Perry would like to hear from you, at (718) 385-3336. Your complaints will help the efforts to get the MTA to better maintain and make our subway stations safe. |

Perry Urges Smokers to Kick the Habit Sure the Great American Smoke-Out may have passed and you continued to puff away, but it needn’t be a national day of recognition for you to give cigarettes the boot. "Quitting smoking may very well be the most important thing you will ever do in your lifetime," said Assemblyman Nick Perry. "I urge all smokers to quit now, do it for yourself, do it for your family." Smoking will not only be the cause for many health concerns for the smoker; according to the NYC Department of Health 1 in 10 infant deaths in the U.S. is related to smoking. Some other figures that may cause you to put out that cigarette for good: tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death in NYC; people who quit live longer than people who continue to smoke; regardless of age, it is never too late! For help on how to quit smoking contact Assemblyman Nick Perry at (718) 385-3336. |
