It’s ethnic discrimination to force Big Apple pizzerias and matzah-makers to cut the smoky pollutants from their wood- and coal-fired ovens, according to a new bill sponsored by a state lawmaker.
Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo (R-Staten Island) told the Post that his proposed law would exempt businesses — some of them legendary local establishments — from a controversial city green edict that orders them to reduce such emissions by 75%.
“I’m trying to stop discrimination against ethnic restaurants. These misguided laws go against businesses that cook ethnic cuisine,” Pirozzolo said.
“A cop just got killed. People are getting thrown in front of subway trains. We have people dying from overdoses and a migrant crisis we didn’t ask for,” said the state lawmaker, first elected in 2022.
“But we’re going after wood-burning pizza? It’s misguided. Let’s get our priorities straight.”
The city just buried married 31-year-old dad and hero cop Jonathan Diller on Saturday after he was shot during a traffic stop, is reeling from a fatal random subway shove last week and drowning in aslyum-seekers needing services.
Pirozzolo’s “Preserving Our Culinary Traditions Act” would specifically waive the burning of wood, coal, natural gas, propane or other fuels for the purposes of cooking or preparing food from any pollution restrictions.
The city Department of Environmental Protection’s new rule, which takes effect April 27 requires existing coal- and wood-fire eateries to install costly air filtration systems that dramatically slash the emissions coming from their traditional ovens.

Only 6.82 years left on AOC’s clock ,LOL
AOC’s clock ran out some time ago.

I would imagine that they are overwhelmingly democrat voters. You get what you vote for.
That’s the biggest argument against democracy. What do you do when everyone’s a moron like in NYC or California?
The few idiots are moving full speed with the climate cult nonsense and no one is stopping them
As soon as the Berlin Wall fell, all those commies came here to join the ones that Wilson brought over.
> Sounds like a lawsuit. <
And given this is New York, the first judge who sees this lawsuit will kick it so far out of the courtroom it might go into orbit.
may God bless this effort. it is an example of one of the most important efforts seen lately on this site.
it’s the leftist’s (really Satan’s) principle of always destroying the elements, supports, traditions of a superior culture or religion that’s afoot here. yes, i know the left falsely and fraudulently denies the superiority of some cultures over others. it has been one of the devils main tools for the destruction of America and it has been working for at least a century.
they got behind the ‘melting pot’ for a while, but that was too slow for them, so now they’re taking a meat ax to everything good, excellent, or beautiful that we’ve got from our fathers and mothers through our most excellent Judeo-Christian heritage in America. may God stop them and their evil designs.
never accept any culture, innovation or civilization as the equal of ours, or at least the one we once had. it’s a leftist trap.
Victor Hanson always says that politicians can’t solve the big problems (crime, murder, drugs, open borders) so they always revert to small, trivial things like wood fired pizza ovens.
There’s a lot of truth to that.
Author Julia Cameron (best selling author and ex wife of Martin Scorsese) once wrote:
“Bad writing - when it’s good - is like New York street pizza. Sometimes it’s a little too crusty. Sometimes it’s a little soggy, but the tang is undeniable.”🌇🍕🍕🍕🍕
Also here: the always Dem voting Seattle, Oregon.
Like the quote attributed to Winston Churchill (never settled as really his):
“The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”🤪
Disparate impact, of course.
30% of NYC Property Taxes Are Unpaid with No Consequences
Oh, there will be consequences.
Someone really should check out what NYS land banks have been getting up to...
“Let’s get our priorities straight.”“
They are straight. Those are the priorities of the people the voters voted for and will vote for again.
This is one of the rare cases where climate change is not the reason. The City Council is targeting very real pollution such as NOx,SOx and fine particulates. Every other large emitter of those pollutants has had to clean up their exhaust stacks, be it truckers, cars,powerplants, cement kilns,dry cleaners, furnaces even ConEd steam plants. No one is allowed to burn raw coal to the sky anymore other than these large ovens which must be burning 24/7 or they will crack from heat temp swings. The City Council didn’t say you cant burn coal or wood they said you have to at least meet the limits everyone else is already meeting. OR switch to a fuel that doesn’t produce NOx,SOx,and huge amounts of PM2.5 the choice is up too the individual then. Scrubbers particularly pun intended electrostatic particulate traps the wet mist kind reduces the PM2.5 to near zero while also stripping NOx,SOx acid gasses. Using limestone as the buffer you end up with calcium nitrate a rather handy fertilizer in aqueous form and calcium sulfate also meh as a fertilizer but not something the sewage treatment plants can’t deal with.
No where in this case is CO2 the drive. The best pizza in NYC is at Di Fara in Brooklyn accept no substitutes made by old man DiFara himself in...A electric brick oven at 500+F. Johns on B st is good but touristy the locals know the best pizza in the world is in Brooklyn with old man DiFara.
