Gale Brewer calls for supporting asylum-seekers at City and State’s 50 over 50 celebration
New York City Council Member Gale Brewer called for supporting asylum-seekers who have arrived by the thousands to the five boroughs from the southern border while receiving an Icon Award at City & State’s 50 Over 50 celebration.
“Knowing how the city budget works is unique to those of us who have been around government for a while. We would not have guessed that the migrant issue would be front and center of the discussion. I support the migrants,” she told attendees at the event held at the Manhattan Penthouse near Union Square, where she was among honorees given special recognition as “Icons.”
Brewer’s remarks reflected her commitment to government and solving its most pressing challenges, including the migrant influx which has brought thousands of asylum-seekers to the city from the southern border. Limited shelter stays that have forced families to relocate to different parts of the city prompted Brewer to insist on keeping migrant children in the same schools they already were assigned to. “I really appreciate the Department of Education and want to keep the kids in school. So help me Mr. Mayor, do not take those kids out of school,” she said in a direct appeal to Mayor Eric Adams.

The New York City Comptroller’s office published its annual report on the City’s contracting in fiscal year 2023, providing a detailed overview by procurement type, method and agency. The report also reviews trends in procurement, including the longstanding and growing problem of City agencies submitting contracts late for registration. According to the Annual Contracts Summary Report, the City entered into 12,820 new procurement and revenue contracts in FY 2023, valued at $38.22 billion – more than budgets of 30 states. The report provides a transparent and detailed snapshot of that contracting activity, including information on what agencies have been purchasing, what procurement methods they are utilizing, the 10 largest contracts, real property transactions, contact modifications, purchase orders, and more. The percentage of contracts registered late grew from 52% in FY21 and FY22 to 66% in FY23, and to 77% for the first half of FY24. These delays cause vendors to wait longer for payment and particularly hurt nonprofits, human service providers, and minority- and women-owned business enterprises.
