"There's been a lot of buzz about Queens lately, and Borough President Melinda Katz is putting everyone on notice," reported NY1's Ruschell Boone. "In her first State of the Borough address, the head of the city's most diverse borough says Queens is moving in the right direction, but there are issues that must be tackled head-on. ' The challenge for government is to keep Queens competitive as the most attractive option for families,' she said."
“Queens is a unique borough, unlike any other — nor do we strive to be any other borough,” Katz said. “We don’t have to claim to be the center of the universe, but we are without a doubt the intersection of the world." - New York Daily News
