Isn’t it time to put a Democrat who understands the economy in the City Council?
It pains me to say that the worse is yet to come. Impulsive, spur-of-the moment-decisions without any consideration of the long-term consequences brought our city to this fiscal crisis. We MUST learn how to live within our means. These new age Robin Hoods in the Council are leading New York City to bankruptcy by literally penalizing every productive activity to cover their fiscal incompetence.
In the coming months you will receive mailings from your councilperson - all paid by your tax dollars - exclaiming what a great job they do in the council in these difficult times. $44 billion a year in spending, much of which is borrowed, is not doing a good job. That is called looting. When public money is mismanaged, everyone and every program suffers. New York City government is not a charity organization. It has mandates to deliver certain services; people’s need, not government’s, must come first. There was a longer discussion on banning toy water pistols than the disastrous property tax increase, which affects not only the rich, but also middle-income homeowners, renters, as well as small businesses - the backbone of our economy, which sends a message to would be buyers not to buy, and would be developers not to build, putting more pressure on the rental market.
