RANKED CHOICE VOTING  

Vote for UP TO 5 people for each office (except Manhattan DA since that’s a State office).  Fill in the circle for each candidate, as in this example: 

DON’T vote for anyone more than once and DON’T make more than 1 candidate your “number 1” choice. (Your ballot will not count.)

How it works: If one person get over 50%, that’s the winner.

If no one wins over 50%, the candidate in last place is eliminated, and that candidate’s votes will go to the candidate those voters ranked second, and the votes are re-counted. The same process continues until one candidate gets 50%.

This counting could take a few weeks.

New York State has $2.7 billion in federal funds to help tenants pay their rent. This is through the State's Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). 

If your household income is under

$66,860 for a household of 1 person

$76,400 for a household of 2 people

$85,960 for a household of 3 people

$95,450 for a household of 4 people

$103,100 for a household of 5 people

and you lost income because of the pandemic, please click on this link to see if you're eligible to get up to 15 months of rental assistance. The money will be paid directly to Stellar, not to the tenant. 

If you are, APPLY NOW!  While $2.7 billion sounds like a lot of money, it's only $13,700 for the first 200,000 people who apply.  That's not so much!

CVS offering big lottery prizes for vaccination between June 1 and July 15.

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A trip to the Super Bowl, an international vacation and a VIP package to the iHeartMedia Radio Music Festival could await people in the Upper West Side who have received the coronavirus vaccine at a CVS Health pharmacy, or plan to schedule theirs at a CVS before mid-July.

The Woonsocket, Rhode Island-based pharmacy chain released its initial plans for its "#OneStepCloser sweepstakes" that will begin June 1 as a way to encourage vaccinations at CVS pharmacies across America. Thousands of winners will be selected in various drawings over a six-week period this summer, the pharmacy said in a news release.

CVS pharmacy locations that offer the coronavirus vaccine include:

• CVS Pharmacy at 743 Amsterdam Ave., between 96th And 97th Street, New York, NY 10025

Dr. Kyu Rhee, a CVS chief medical officer, said more than 17 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been administered at locations throughout the United States, "but we have a long way to go."  "Getting as much of the population fully vaccinated will bring us one step closer to all the things we've missed during the past 14 months, and keep our country moving in the right direction," Rhee said in a statement.

That direction, for some winners of the sweepstakes, will include a seven-day cruise for two on the Norwegian CruiseLine, a trip to Bermuda or a two-night weekend getaway at a Wyndham hotel, according to the sweepstakes' description. CVS said it will also give away $500 in cash to 125 winners, and $5,000 to five.

The company said it is "working to close gaps in hesitancy" to inoculation, citing a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey that shows 17.6 percent of adults are hesitant about the vaccines produced by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
