And “the readers, sometimes they have mistakes. They don’t read it correctly.”
Becerra said he hasn’t received a response from the mayor’s office or governor’s office regarding his petition but is planning to get lawyers and advocacy groups involved in the coming weeks.“There are better and more ethical ways to live in New York, to have cleaner transportation systems, to feel like this is a great city to live in – but it’s becoming more difficult every day.
