Every New Yorker has the right to clean air, safe drinking water, and healthy communities to raise their children - and you can rest assured that I will aggressively protect that right, not just on Earth Day, but every day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Clean air is a basic right. The responsibility to ensure that falls to Congress and the president.
As most New Yorkers have done, I have given serious and generous thought to the state of my apartment should I get killed during the day.
As Attorney General, my most important responsibility is keeping New Yorkers safe by enforcing the laws that protect our people from harm. But another fundamental part of my job is to seek to advance the basic American principle of equal justice under law.
Fair and affordable housing is a basic right for all New Yorkers and all Americans.
I have generally and will always fight for clean air and safe drinking water laws.
These are tough times, and the New Yorkers I have met are facing economic adversity with grace and dignity. They worry about their future, care about their neighbors and hope this storm will pass so they can focus on better days ahead.
The American people have a right to know the air they breathe is safe.
Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11.
The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice. And I love that.
When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough.
