Health
Public health is a necessity in a City as large as ours. All of us from infants to seniors should have access to quality health care. We must support our health institutions and provide preventative health care services such as immunizations to lower expensive treatment costs. Cutting vital health care services from our budget has historically only increased treatment costs in the long term. Through proper support and preventative health care services we can make our City a healthier place to live.

Kallos said his goal is to use only biological pesticides that come from natural materials instead of synthetic materials. He said what’s most concerning is the herbicide spray called Roundup.
“The World Health Organization found that it was a carcinogen, so we introduced legislation right away,” he said.
Children at one New York City school testified in City Council chambers against the use of pesticides in parks. Roseanne Colletti reports.
