China News Service, July 27th. According to the US "Qiao Bao" report, due to the budget cut of the New York City Council, the garbage collection on the main roads of many Chinese communities in Brooklyn will be reduced to 3 days a week. But city councillor Justin Brannan, who represents these districts, promised that, despite this, he will ensure that the trash cans on the streets of his electoral district are emptied every day from August.
The 43rd district of the City Council represented by Ji Siting includes many Chinese settlements such as Brooklyn Bay Ridge, Dyke Heights, Bath Beach and Benson Market. For the hard work of the staff of the Clean Bureau during the epidemic, Ji Siting gave full thanks. He also pointed out that the overflowing garbage bins in many commercial corridors in his constituency is unacceptable. However, the raging new crown pneumonia epidemic has caused a gap of 10 billion yuan in economic losses to New York City, so this year the city council has cut its budget.
According to Ji Siting, in order to narrow the gap, in this year’s budget cuts, the city government’s budget for every service, every plan, every agency and department has been reduced. But when he heard that the public trash cans on the corners would be collected only half the frequency before, he knew that he had to fight hard to avoid this happening in the electoral district. It is understood that, thanks to Ji Siting's efforts, the Municipal Cleanup Bureau will send people to empty the trash cans on the streets of the 43rd constituency every day and collect trash every day.
Recently, Ji Siting and State Senator Guonard have organized community cleanup activities for many times, cleaned several major commercial streets in the Bay Ridge area and Dyke Heights, and actively advocated the importance of local residents to care for and love the community. (Cui Guoyu)
