NEW YORK – A new bipartisan group called “Save Our City” has been founded by prominent New Yorkers, including former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, to address current challenges facing New York City, the New York Post reports. This center-right, “common-sense coalition” includes notable co-founders such as former Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey, restaurateur Alan Rosen, and former U.S. Attorney Mike Mukasey.

Kelly, the city’s longest-serving NYPD commissioner, voiced concern over the city’s current state and sees the initiative as a way to bring about necessary changes. McCaughey, who served as lieutenant governor in the 1990s, highlighted that New Yorkers desire practical solutions—such as transit safety and quality schools—over ideological conflicts.
Organized as a 501(c)(3) education advocacy group, Save Our City aims to tackle issues including crime reduction, retaining city services without raising taxes, and curbing the exodus of businesses and taxpayers. Additional goals include restoring civil order and increasing voter turnout, following recent low participation in local elections.
The group is encouraging residents to engage by sharing their concerns and ideas on its website, emphasizing that it is a coalition focused on actionable solutions for the future of New York City.
Wait. So is he saying, being woke is not working?
If we stop using tax dollars on migrants
Maybe we can use them to actually, you know, take care of the city
Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly was a Deputy Chief in the NYPD, during the pogrom in Crown Heighs in 1991. He, with his men, stood by, and did nothing to stop the rioters from assaulting, beating, and threatening frum Jews for three long days and nights. The NYPD had a written plan to stop large scale civil disorders, but never acted upon it. It wasn’t until the hostile crowd threw bottles and other objects at Mayor Dinkins and Police Commissioner Brown, that Kelley and his men decided to act, and make arrests.
