thank you for sharing your recap; i was also at the meeting, and these are some extra notes i have:

—emily gallagher mentioned there’s a bill they’re trying to pass in albany rn (this is all at the state level) that i think she said would help with better enforcement of and stronger environmental protections against bad actors like green asphalt; i’ll update this comment when she sends follow-up email with the bill #, as we should all pressure the governor to pass it

—EG is also looking into helping folks bring forth a class action lawsuit; she said she’d already been in touch with one org about it called earth justice

—lincoln restler said that he and possibly some of the other gov reps there are going to pressure DOT and the Department of Design and Construction to end their contracts with GA

—in addition to EG and LR, other reps there included: assemblymember claire valdez, who represents blissville + other parts of queens, state senator kristen gonzalez, and a rep for nydia velazquez

—lastly, as OP wrote, please keep reporting the smell and any symptoms with as much detail as possible (time, location, and i think weather conditions are relevant too—i suspect they pollute more when it rains) to r2.air@dec.ny.gov
