Good day!

I have lived and worked in our community for over 32 years. I have served the community in various capacities including as a member of Community Board 17 for over 17 years.

I have worked closely with most of our elected officials including Assemblywoman, the Hon. Rhoda Jacobs (Deputy Speaker); Assemblyman, Hon. N. Nick Perry; State Senators, the Hon. Kevin Parker and the Hon. Eric Adams to bring about positive changes in our community. We have fought to maintain quality and affordable housing, keep our streets safe and our children engaged in after-school educational and recreational activities. I would like to continue to do more for you and our community by becoming the next City Council Representative.

My background in finance and my record of community involvement will allow me to skillfully negotiate on your behalf for the resources that are needed for the residents of the 40th District. We need more dedicated public servants who are committed and loyal to their community–my record of community services speaks to that commitment. I come to you with a record of integrity, understanding of community needs, and a strong commitment to the improvement of our community for all our residents.

I will continue to lead the fight and advocate for affordable housing, job creation, education, senior and youth programs and healthcare. Additionally, I will continue to fight for contextual zoning (down-zoning) to prevent developers from destroying the essence, fabric and character of our community. Also, I will seek to ensure that senior citizens, low-and moderate-income residents are protected from being displaced from the community by unscrupulous developers.

I hope I can count on you for your support as I believe that I am truly qualified to serve you and to bring in the funding, services and programs that you so rightly deserve. As you review my background, experience and my record of accomplishments, I am sure you will find that I am the most suitable candidate to serve the 40th Councilmanic District.

With best regards,
L. Rickie Tulloch

PLEASE CALL 1-877-LRT-2009 FOR MORE INFO.

If you were involuntarily terminated on or after September 1, 2008 and are not eligible for other health coverage (such as a spouse’s health plan or Medicare), then you may be eligible for a 65 percent reduction of your COBRA premium for up to 9 months. If you didn’t elect COBRA, you may have an additional opportunity to elect it now and take advantage of the premium reduction.

President Obama’s “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009” (ARRA) provides for premium reductions and additional election opportunities for health benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, commonly called COBRA. Eligible individuals pay only 35 percent of their COBRA premiums and the remaining 65 percent is reimbursed to the coverage provider through a tax credit. The premium reduction applies to periods of health coverage beginning on or after February 17, 2009 and lasts for up to nine months for those eligible for COBRA during the period beginning September 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2009 due to an involuntary termination of employment that occurred during that period.

For more information, ask your former employer or contact the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration at:

7PM TO 9PM

NY1 reported the following:

“Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised the city’s school performance rates Monday, March 2, 2009, saying a record number of schools have been removed from the registration review list.

This year, there are only 20 city schools on the Education Department’s annual SURR list — that’s 12 fewer schools than last year.

The mayor says 77 city schools were under registration review by the state when his administration first took control of city schools.

School Chancellor Joel Klein says this is the fewest number of schools added to the list since the beginning of the SURR program in 1989.”

To backtrack a bit about this subject, the State Legislature handed over the control of New York City Schools to the Office of the Mayor in 2002 in hopes of reforming the public schools in the city, albeit, the mandate was only for seven years expiring this June.

It is indisputable that there have been positive results after this move to centralize the administration of city schools under one office. However, I am concerned that giving any one person (or office) the full authority to appoint the Commissioner of the Department of Education undermines the principle of check and balance. I suggest that appointees be confirmed in a hearing by the City Council Members much like Presidential Cabinet Appointees are screened and confirmed by the Members of the US Senate.
