"Student loans should not be a barrier to pursuing a lifetime of financial success Expanding access to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is an important way we can set city employees up for long-term financial freedom and put money back in their pockets I know firsthand how liberating that can be," said DCWP Commissioner Mayuga "With the federal government set to resume collecting on defaulted student loans this week the supports we are announcing today are well-timed to help borrowers and the many millions navigating the rapidly-evolving student loans landscape and our new partners at Summer for sharing our commitment to help New Yorkers reduce millions in student loan debt and make our city more affordable for working-class families." "Student loan guidance and education are monumental tools for empowering individuals we are bringing these resources directly to public servants and their loved ones," said DCAS Commissioner Molina "Those who serve our communities should not feel encumbered by their student loans and we are proud to play a key role in administering this loan assistance platform citywide The Adams administration remains committed to supporting its workforce and providing necessary relief to all city employees through innovative and accessible solutions." "This initiative will provide a critical resource to thousands of New York City employees and their families," said Will Sealy "Paying back student loans shouldn't be a barrier to pursuing a career in public service We're proud to partner with the City of New York to deliver the tools and expertise needed to navigate student loan assistance programs ensuring public servants get the debt relief they've earned." PSLF is among the most expansive loan forgiveness initiatives in the country helping reduce burdensome student loan debt while encouraging Americans to pursue careers in public service After 120 months of payments while working full-time at a qualifying not-for-profit organization or any level of the city or federal government – including New York City government – individuals can get the remainder of their student loan debt forgiven complex criteria and hard-to-navigate requirements have made it difficult for many eligible applicants to successfully enroll in PSLF and receive loan forgiveness One in six New Yorkers have student loan debt less than 11 percent of eligible borrowers submitting loan forgiveness forms to the federal government had their loans successfully forgiven Many New York City municipal employees are eligible for debt relief through PSLF but have not enrolled in the program or have struggled to recertify year after year To break down these barriers and help save New Yorkers money the new partnership between the Adams administration and Summer will offer city employees free access to Summer's online portal as well as free expert guidance from Summer's team in verifying their eligibility for PSLF managing their paperwork for enrollment and completion of the program city employees will be able to identify the best repayment and forgiveness strategy for their individual situation the family members of public servants who independently qualify for PSLF – either by working for another branch of government or for a qualifying not-for-profit organization – will be able to take advantage of the program as well Following a pilot phase with city employees from ACS the program will begin expanding to include all city employees in September 2025 Summer has generated over $1.8 billion in total student loan savings to date This program between New York City and Summer is the largest of its kind implemented by any municipal government in the United States solidifying New York City's position as a national leader in addressing the student debt crisis The support program will not only strengthen the city's ability to recruit and retain top-tier talent but help public servants save money as well By freeing up income that would otherwise go to debt payments participating employees will have more money to spend locally "New York City and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has long been a leader on what cities can do to help their residents struggling with student debt," said Winston Berkman-Breen "We are excited to see New York City continue to serve as a model for how cities as employers can work to support their employees with their student loan debt Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a critical tool for maintaining and building the bench of committed public servants across the country and we hope more cities follow New York's lead." returning over $63 million to these New Yorkers Axe the Tax would eliminate the New York City Personal Income Tax for filers with dependents living at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty line as well as lower city personal income taxes for filers immediately above that threshold too Axe the Tax for the Working Class could bring relief to working-class families as soon as tax year 2025 while maintaining record-high reserves and ensuring a strong fiscal future for the City of New York pressoffice@cityhall.nyc.gov(212) 788-2958 Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application Sandra "Sandy" "Sassy" Adams Sandra “Sandy” “Sassy” Adams surrounded by her loved ones after a courageous battle with breast cancer who were at the center of everything she did Sandy grew up with a strong sense of family and a joyful spirit that carried through her entire life and together they built a life filled with adventure and support for each other that never wavered Her happiest moments were spent with her grandchildren She enjoyed spending her free time gardening delighting in the birds that visited her feeder - although she always wished there were more Summers at the camper surrounded by family and friends She also loved decorating her home and rearranging the furniture Her nails were always polished and her jewelry always perfectly chosen - reflecting the pride she took in herself and in life’s little details Sandy was a thoughtful woman with a generous heart Sandy had a special way of making others feel cared for and seen Chantel (Kurt) Erickson and Joseph (Jordyn) Adams;

New York City a safe and clean place to live Tax revenue is expected to increase by nearly 8 percent in FY 2025 driven by growth in income and business taxes growth is forecast to decline to around 1

mansions on Church Street after taking ownership of them in land court North Adams is beginning the process of selling this property at 130 Church St is one of a group of properties formerly owned by Franklin Perras the city has been unsuccessful in finding a next of kin to take over the property.  North Adams has fallen into disrepair and is now owned by the city.   Two brick Victorian mansions that were condemned in 2017 now belong to the city NORTH ADAMS — Two brick Victorian mansions that were condemned in 2017 now belong to the city The duo of historic Queen Anne mansions on Church Street has been an eyesore since they fell into disrepair But with the conclusion of a yearslong legal process the city has taken possession of the properties with the intention of selling them as quickly as possible The city first placed liens on the properties in 2017 and a prolonged and unsuccessful legal process to find the heirs of former owner Franklin Perras ensued The Queen Anne mansions are at 116 and 124 Church St. Another property is at 130 Church St. along with an empty lot at 35-40 Arnold Place North Adams Mayor Jennifer Macksey says the city is drafting a request for proposals to find a real estate agent to sell the newly minted municipal assets “There’s a new law about getting rid of property — in the past we were able to hire an auctioneer and auction them off,” Macksey said “Now we’re required to procure a real estate agent to market the property.” Towns and cities attempting to sell foreclosed properties must bring in a real estate agent for at least a year to try and find the best deal before going to auction “This is just preserving the value of the house so the people don’t lowball,” Macksey said so I don’t know if it will work to our advantage or disadvantage.” Court records show the city was anxious in recent years to finally take the properties calling them a hazard to the public and noting a spate of calls to police related to the land found that he had died somewhere between 2013 and 2015 named “Crystal Marie” and “Joshua Robert” in his obituary and relatives were not in contact with them the city took ownership of the properties

your device One debate Tennessee fans never have: Who has been UT’s best football coach The answer is as obvious as Tennessee’s 101,915-seat stadium Robert Neyland isn’t just regarded as UT’s best football coach He’s considered one of the greatest coaches in college football history You don’t have to look beyond his record to see why Neyland didn’t just win more than any other Tennessee football coach But a won-lost record isn’t the only way to judge a coach Another way: How much did he improve the program Neyland improved it drastically and did it quickly Using the improvement barometer, you could conclude that Josh Heupel is second only to Neyland among Tennessee coaches after four seasons on the job I'm not suggesting that Heupel's is UT's second-best football coach of all-time My point is that only Neyland upgradied the program faster than Heupel did in four years In the four seasons before Heupel (2017-20) thanks to the coaching wizardry of Butch Jones and Jeremy Pruitt whom I didn’t penalize for his outlaw ways Never mind all the victories the NCAA took from the Vols in 2019 and 2020 I credited Pruitt with winning 11 games combined in those seasons Heupel went 7-6 in his first season (2021) which might not come close to Neyland but is a dramatic reversal of fortune from the Jones-Pruitt days He accomplished that despite losing 10 starters to the transfer portal before his first season Not only has Heupel raised the program from the depths of mediocrity He has done so without making the NCAA’s Most Wanted list in the process That’s assuming the NCAA still has a Most Wanted list I would rank Doug Dickey third after Neyland and Heupel He was 29-11-3 in his first four seasons after replacing Jim McDonald following the 1963 season In the four seasons prior to the Dickey era including one season under McDonald and three under Bowden Wyatt But the records don’t tell the complete story of how quickly Dickey elevated the program and defenses were becoming less mystified by it Dickey replaced the single wing with the wing T which made for a rocky 1964 season in which the Vols scored 10 points or fewer in seven games the Vols went 8-1-2 and ranked 10th nationally Tennessee fans realized how much UT’s offensive transition had progressed when the Vols outscored UCLA 37-34 in a matchup of top-10 teams Fulmer and Johnny Majors have been two of UT’s most successful coaches Fulmer won a national championship in 1998 and went 45-5 from 1995-98 Majors coached SEC championship teams in 1985 But Fulmer took over a program that already was winning at a high level under Majors and Majors struggled to make headway in his first four seasons – going 21-23-1 − after following Bill Battle ADAMS: Tennessee football lost more than Nico

Place to Raise a Family by Investing in Critical Programs Year-After-Year Part of Mayor Adams’ “Budget Week,” Unveiling “Best Budget Ever,” Which Invests in Affordability and Quality-of-Life Issues New Yorkers Care Most About NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) Commissioner Keith Howard today announced a historic and new $331 million commitment — phased in starting in the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Executive Budget and fully baselined by FY 2028 — to support Mayor Adams’ vision of “After-School for All” to all public students from kindergarten through eighth grade the city is beginning a comprehensive effort to strengthen and scale after-school programs with the goal of achieving universal access for all students and families across the five boroughs The new funding will support the addition of 20,000 new seats over the next three school years bringing the total number of public school students served by universal after-school programming to 184,000 with a total investment of $755 million annually “To make New York City the best place to raise a family we need to make sure our young people and families have opportunities to thrive bold vision to achieve universal after-school for free for all students who want it,” said Mayor Adams “We’re investing $331 million in additional funds as part of our total $755 million investment in ‘After-School for All.’ This massive infusion of funds will improve our current programs and bring new after-school programs to an additional 20,000 K-5 students That’s 184,000 students who will be able to participate in sports and more — discovering their passions and building relationships with their classmates We are also pursuing a community-driven effort that will stabilize our current after-school system ensuring these providers are able to get a rate increase for the first time in 10 years so they can hire and train staff while delivering quality programming to our youth Our parents shouldn’t have to choose between picking up their child or working a job to put food on the table — and now they won’t have to This is what it looks like to deliver on our mission of making New York City a safer more affordable city that is the best place to raise a family.” “Mayor Adams’ commitment to early childhood development is truly unprecedented,” said First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro he builds on that work with another signature achievement: a commitment to fund universal after-school programs for all public-school families who want it for their children this initiative bookends early childhood education in the most positive way It’s all about investing in our children’s futures — and today’s announcement will serve children for generations to come.” “Today’s announcement on after-school is nothing short of a game-changer for New York City’s kids and families Mayor Adams’ commitment to investing $331 million in new funding to expand and improve the Department of Youth and Community Development’s after-school system will transform child care in New York City forever opening the door for thousands of families to take advantage of this valuable service,” said Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives Ana J and the larger community — they are a common-sense investment of public resources The commitment to building a universal system in the years ahead will expand the landscape of youth programs and child care for communities across the city.” I was greatly influenced by after-school programs,” said DYCD Commissioner Howard a single mother raising seven young children worked as a registered nurse at the VA Hospital and sent me and my siblings to after-school programs She was so committed to it that I made sure my children attended I know firsthand the value of creating enriching and meaningful opportunities who is making unprecedented commitments to our elementary school students These investments help make our city more affordable and the best place to raise a family I want to express my gratitude to our outstanding providers for their patience and partnership in creating the next generation of after-school programming we are closer than ever to fulfilling Mayor Adams’ vision for universal after-school.” Mayor Adams’ After-School for All plan begins with an immediate $21 million investment allocated in the upcoming FY 2026 Executive Budget that will bring 5,000 additional K-5 seats online for the upcoming fall semester That funding will grow to $102 million by the next fiscal year and $136 million as DYCD adds 10,000 more seats in the fall of 2026 and 5,000 seats in the fall of 2027 for a total of 20,000 new seats over the next three school years The funding for these new seats will be baselined starting in FY 2028 and become a permanent part of the city’s after-school offering growing the annual budget to a total of $755 million for DYCD after-school programming DYCD will work with the community to assess the ongoing need and add slots if necessary The plan will also strengthen the current system by issuing the first Request for Proposal to providers in over a decade in an effort to enhance and improve programs for New York City youth as well as raise provider rates to stabilize the non-profit organizations leading these programs and better support the workforce who serve New York City’s children This effort will be supported by a $195 million investment beginning in the FY 2027 Executive Budget bringing the total new spending to approximately $331 million by FY 2028 New York City currently serves approximately 164,000 K-8 students in after-school programs Today’s investment by Mayor Adams will bring the total number of students served by the program to 184,000 by school year 2027-2028 only one in five elementary school students can participate in after-school programming compared to two in five for middle school students; this plan will add $331 million in new funds to the $424 million already allocated to after-school programming in the budget to focus on bringing seats to elementary schools in communities where demand meets need the Adams administration will create a commission for universal after-school by engaging providers and community stakeholders to develop a system that is sustainable in the long term and ensures non-profit organizations are able to continue to hire and train staff and deliver quality programming This investment included one-time funding of $92 million to support a citywide 3-K expansion the Adams administration invested $20 million to ensure that every student on a 3-K waitlist was offered a seat and $55 million to provide more than 700 new seats for three- and four-year-olds with special needs Mayor Adams will baseline funding for these crucial programs for the first time ever in city history to support children and families and keep the promise that every child who wants an early childhood seat will have access to one including multi-language learners and students with disabilities Today’s announcement comes during Mayor Adams’ “Budget Week,” where the Adams administration is unveiling signature investments in the “Best Budget Ever,” which will make New York City safer while maintaining record-high reserves and ensuring a strong fiscal future for the City of New York The Buffalo Sabres have extended their NHL-record playoff drought to a 14th consecutive season Following a disappointing 2024–25 campaign and a blockbuster trade that sent Dylan Cozens to the division rival Ottawa Senators the organization continues to spiral downward and the team remains on the outside of the playoff picture Adams now holds the distinction of being the longest-tenured GM during the Sabres’ ongoing playoff drought Jason Botterill and Tim Murray — both of whom brought more front-office experience to the role — Adams has seemingly been granted a longer leash The Sabres’ problems are not just a matter of misfortune Calling for someone’s job is never an easy decision — these are people’s livelihoods That’s not to say he has no value — in fact According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet Adams recently had a sit-down meeting with team owner Terry Pegula While there was speculation that a shakeup in the front office might follow no changes have been announced — at least not yet One potential path forward could be moving Adams to the President of Hockey Operations Shifting him into a less hands-on position could benefit both him and the organization He’s known to have a strong hockey mind and already has front-office experience having served as the Sabres’ Senior Vice President of Administration before becoming GM in 2020 Five seasons should be enough time to build a competitive roster or show clear progress when they missed the playoffs by just one point the team has seen a decline in wins in each of the past two seasons Related: Sabres’ Devon Levi Is Dominating in the AHL Pegula must take a hard look at his front office and ask the fundamental question: Is this working Because the results — another missed postseason and a continued slide in performance — suggest the answer is no On a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Friedman floated the idea that Lou Lamoriello could be a potential fit in Buffalo’s front office stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of rebuilds would benefit from Lamoriello’s experience particularly in building out roster depth and stabilizing the organization while Lamoriello could help the Sabres break their playoff drought forward-thinking moves required to push the team beyond just getting in he could bring valuable insight and structure especially if the organization chooses to retain Adams as GM next season There’s no denying Lamoriello’s track record of getting teams over the hump When he joined the New York Islanders in May 2018 the team had missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons the Islanders qualified for the postseason three straight years including an Eastern Conference Final appearance in the 2019–20 season where they fell to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning in six games it seems unlikely that Lamoriello would join Buffalo’s front office at this point in his career I’d consider a different path altogether: make Adams the President of Hockey Operations and promote Jason Karmanos to general manager Karmanos has served as Buffalo’s associate GM since 2021 and brings a wealth of front-office experience He spent 15 years with the Carolina Hurricanes (1998–2013) and was later part of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ front office from 2014 to 2020 also serving as assistant GM during that time His background suggests he has the tools to lead a modern NHL franchise and could be the fresh voice this organization needs The Sabres cannot continue down the same path Missing the playoffs for 14 straight seasons is unacceptable The Hockey Writers is a premier destination for news and information on everything hockey commentary and features from hundreds writers worldwide our

Unveiling “Best Budget Ever,” Which Invests inAffordability NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) uniform officer headcount is on the path to reach 35,000 by the fall of 2026, thanks to expanded eligibility requirements recently announced and Mayor Adams’ continued funding commitments to hire more officers Mayor Adams also swore in more than 670 new recruits to the police force today The new recruits join the already 2,200 probationary officers that were sworn in between July 2024 and January 2025 — 600 of these recruits have already graduated “When we came into office over three years ago we had a clear mission and a clear mandate: Drive down crime and make sure every New Yorker feels safe,” said Mayor Adams “Our success depends on whether we have enough officers to do this critical work we announced expanded eligibility requirements to become an officer The results have been astounding – with daily applications up 45 percent it’s clear New Yorkers are eager to join the NYPD we’re proud to announce that New York City is on the path to having 35,000 uniform members of the NYPD by fall of 2026 Congratulations to all of the officers sworn in today and on behalf of 8.5 million New Yorkers  “This new recruit class reflects the surge in interest we've seen to join the police force since expanding eligibility,” said NYPD Commissioner Jessica S “We’re not just growing the NYPD — we’re making sure the department has the people it needs to meet this moment By modernizing our standards and opening more doors we’re giving thousands of New Yorkers a real opportunity to serve getting the right people through the door and giving them the tools after Mayor Adams directed her to develop a plan to recruit and retain more officers NYPD Commissioner Tisch announced a three-part plan to attract more candidates and modernize education requirements to address the hiring crisis the NYPD has faced in recent years The NYPD was one of the only remaining big-city municipal police forces in the country with a college credit requirement — setting up the NYPD to not only compete for applicants with other local agencies but also with other major cities nationwide As a result of the changes announced in February the department reduced barriers to employment by reforming the required college credit minimum to enter the Police Academy from 60 credits to 24 credits The new plan also emphasizes physical fitness by reinstating the previous longstanding requirement of completing a timed 1.5-mile run a recent reassessment conducted by the National College Credit Recommendation Service determined that the completion of the six-month NYPD Police Academy recruit training program is equivalent to 45 college credits Graduates of the academy will now enter the NYPD with a minimum of 69 college credits.  Over 5,000 previously ineligible candidates on 29 active civil services lists were contacted and over 4,000 within this candidate pool expressed interest in reopening their cases more than 1,300 have already reported to the NYPD’s Candidate Assessment Unit to take the next steps in their hiring process the NYPD has seen daily applications increase by almost 45 percent from an average of 56 applications per day to 81 applications per day.  In the past month alone, over 1,172 individuals have already filed to take the next police exam, representing a renewed interest among New Yorkers to serve New York City and become a police officer. Since the announcement of the change of college credits in February 2025, over 9,700 new filers have applied to take the police officer exam. To learn more about how to sign up, interested applicants can visit the NYPD recruitment website and the exam will be given beginning on June 17 Because of the Adams administration’s focus on protecting public safety the first three months of 2025 saw a 10.9 percent reduction in overall index crime Homicides decreased by 34.4 percent and shootings decreased by 23.1 percent compared to the same period the previous year The first quarter of 2025 also had the second lowest number of homicides in the city’s recorded first-quarter history quarter one had the lowest number of shootings for any three-month period in the city’s recorded history.   NORTH ADAMS — When baseball coach Dan Shadik says that North Adams-Jerome is a 'baseball school' given the history the baseball team has in its archives That storied history has seen many ball players call North Adams-Jerome High School home, including the late Maxine "Max" Louise Randall the star pitcher for the Fort Wayne Daisies of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League were a part of the Detroit Tigers organization’s Minor League affiliates Sal Maglie and John Williams both played within the Tigers organization and Maglie would become a future MLB All-Star More: Kade Shannon wins Week 3 HD Mechanical Athlete of the Week; Kast named Daily News Choice More: Week 5 Winners: North Adams-Jerome baseball and softball earn important rivalry wins The storied success of the baseball program sets a precedent for winning titles the program hasn't been able to bring home a championship to its team in more than a decade Despite individual athletes having success within the program the team hasn't won a league title since coach Ernie Amo's team did in the 2012-2013 season Eleven years ago was the last time the program won a district championship (2013-14) It has been more than a decade since North Adams-Jerome has fielded a title-caliber team the 2024-25 Rams baseball team is bringing back this baseball town's title hopes with their impressive 8-1 start to the season It's been a four-year journey not just for coach Dan Shadik they stepped out onto the field for the first time They've been playing with each other all the way up But this is the first time we've came together here." The program has steadily improved over the last couple of seasons Coach credits the growth year-to-year thanks to the maturity of his seniors plus the addition of underclassmen talent like freshman Des Lawless it all starts with senior team captain Jake Smith "He's been my captain and so has Connor McKay They've been my captains the last couple of years," Shadik said couple that with Nolan (Paradine) and Zyler (Webb) These are their last games before they walk across the stage here in a few weeks They are putting everything they got out onto this field They want a championship more than anything." Dan Shadik says that the community and school is going back to its roots and becoming a baseball school again "We've had more fans in these last couple years than I've ever seen at NA-J," Shadik said "It reminds me back in the old football games when we used to pack the stands baseball is becoming part of North Adams again We have a rich history here of baseball and softball with everyone whose come through here and truly that's what we're coming back into And it's truly due to these guys right here." There's a plethora of talent behind their fast-winning record but its starts with the two starters in their pitching rotation The two players are at different ends of their careers but the duo has combined to give the Rams a strong one-two punch that could help them seal up a division title should they continue winning this spring Lawless has been a breakout player for the Rams and in Hillsdale County His pitching arsenal includes an 86-mph fastball a 4.61 earned-run-average and a WHIP of 1.39 He's also posting a batting average of .565 and an on-base-percentage of .697 "It's been great," Lawless said about his first season "These guys are a whole other level of baseball and I just look forward to that every day." Lawless says he's looking to work on the mental side of the game for himself as the season goes along Despite being only nine games into the season the freshman sees easy fixes ahead for the team to work on in order to become the team to beat when playoff season arrives The other side of that duo is senior ace Connor McKay (fans can remember his back-to-back no-hitters last season) McKay has continued to improve with each season of his career and he has earned a 4-1 record to start his final year He has struck out 43 batters and boasts an earned-run-average of 3.96 and a WHIP of 1.57 "It's a different mindset this year," McKay said Everybody on the field wants to play and win Everybody is just coming together as a team the duo has allowed just 22 earned runs in nine games Smith and junior Conner Arsenault round out the bullpen for the Rams and both have been impressive in relief duties "We just need to play together and play as a family," McKay said I think this is the best team I've ever played for." The team has multiple talented athletes across each class from freshman to senior junior Kaleb Hale has been a significant contributor to the Rams' runs total this season The junior has drove in 14 RBIs and scored 15 runs Hale is tied with teammate Arsenault with 15 steals has scored nine runs this season and has an on-base-percentage of .567 Sophomore Ryker Campbell is second on the team in hits with 15 His batting average and on-base-percentage are both well over .500 and has scored nine runs He also has 11 putouts so far this season in the field Senior Nolan Paradine has been known for hitting homers for the Rams six of those being multi-base opportunities He leads the team in slugging percentage with 1.048 Lawless and Arsenault lead the team in putouts with Lawless having earned 45 and Arsenault earning 39 The team has several league matchups to go in order to earn that league title They will need to beat reigning champion Camden-Frontier on Tuesday May 6 in order to preserve their league aspirations the team has a favorable district in Division 4 There's plenty of opportunity for the 2024-25 Rams to bring a trophy back to the halls of their school before crossing the graduation stage "(Bringing them a championship) would mean everything," Shadik said "I actually started out the year (the seniors) started on varsity but these guys have come out every year and given their heart and souls to this team We got guys here that just love this sport
