“It’s never been a secret to life-long residents of Queens that it’s a great place to raise a family, so it’s hardly surprising that more than eight in 10 residents feel that way. For decades, our great borough has been welcoming families from all over the world, affording them an opportunity to make a home and to succeed.
“Clearly there is room for improvement and a great deal of work needs to be done, as any family sending a child to a severely overcrowded school or struggling to make ends meet in this economy will tell you. Those of us in government owe it to them to keep doing all that we can to make things better.”
