unfortunately, the same response that not happen in yonkers and mount vernon.took another 23 days to bring a testing site to co-opt city and another 53 days to bring testing sites to yonkers, mount vernon. the response was inadequate, and as we know, black and latino communities were disproportionately impacted by covid and out the responses lackluster terms of the community in new rochelle and those in poverty and other areas of the district. >> mr. fink? less than a mile from new rochelle, less than a mile of the epicenter of this pandemic. my family and i brought food to homeless shelters, food kitchens. we gave blood. so did my staff, because we knew blood was short at this period of time. we got out there and attended rallies in support of our community. what i also did was i came up with a plan. it is on my website. clearly, our nation and our federal government were not ready when we came into this pandemic. there were not prepared for it, they did not react quickly. i want to have a plan when we come out of it. that plan addresses social, environmental

samoa's population is just under 200,000, about the same size as akron, ohio; shreveport, louisiana; yonkersw york. imagine telling everyone and every business in a population that size that, as of a certain date, no more single-use pstic items-- "it's against the law!" here, in a small country with a big plastic pollution problem, the response seems to be "let go for it." stores and markets keep the message clear, and their customers are paying attention. 80% to 85%, by official and biodegradable or re-usable bags for their purchases. there is a concern, though, thao s efforts to fend off plastic pollution are too tolittlelate; that the ban is a good move, but that in practical termting up recycling bins and collection points means next toothing. at the country's one sanitary landfill, manager fualaga pemita told us that there's no company or country willing to take on thine task of recythe more than 8,000 tons of plastic refuse generated annually in samoa in the years prior to the ban. a lot plastic refuge fo one island. what happens to it? it's just there, right? >> reporter: and even if

yonkers, new york. saysinks our panelists and how do we effectively integrate the generational differences often seen between the younger generation and those of us who have been in this fight many decades in such a way that we respect each other's ideas and approach it in our respective communities and not diminish the role and will of the other -- of either? >> this will have to be the last question. i'm going to ask one of our panelists to take that and give us a 90 second response. we are so grateful for the doctor summoning the question, they have been doing good work in yonkers. who would like to take that question with a quick response? >> i would say this. there is the need for young people to work with people like myself who have some years behind them. the arrogance of youth cannot be the determinate. the arrogance of age can't be the determinant. there's wisdom through lived experience. there's idealism that young people possess in abundance. it's a combination of that idealism with that expe

joseph: well, i mean, hiking taxes is nothing new where i come from in yonkers. the only city in the entire state of new york outside of new york city with our own dedicated personal income tax. i think what you're going to see around the country is as you have less people who have the ability to make an income because of government mandates, we're going to see local municipalities shifting that financial burden to the people who ultimately have been supporting their bottom line the most. so i think those businesses, those people with higher incomes, they're going to be the ones shouldering the burden for the rest of america and ultimately i think, again, those are the people who are going to get hit the hardest, more so than the main street with liquidity problems. dagen: brian, it becomes a downward financial spiral for of cities across the country. we've seen it happen before, say in detroit, for example. but in new york city you have people -- you can see it every weekend, there are moving trucks everywhere. you see it in the number of new leases signed for r
