Staten Island City Council candidates align on key neighborhood issues
Briefly

Three candidates—Republicans Frank Morano and Griffin Fossella, and Democrat Cliff Hagen—are running for Staten Island's City Council seat. They oppose a proposed mixed-use hotel development in Richmond Valley, agreeing it does not align with the neighborhood's character. Hagen emphasizes that vulnerable populations requiring city services should be centrally located. The candidates also stand united against the expansion of battery energy storage facilities due to safety concerns, illustrating a surprising bipartisan alignment on local issues in light of the upcoming special election.
By hook or by crook, we're gonna kill it.
I stand with them.
These battery energy storage facilities pose safety risks.
Folks who need services need to be near those services.
