NYC is in crisis today. With the national economic downturn and the attacks of 9/11, we need a city council that has the desire and energy to do more with less.
Like most areas of NYC, the Upper East Side has voted for Democratic candidates who consistently stand for the status-quo. Our councilmen, Gifford Miller is the leader of the city council. He lacks the will to propose real reforms and has only offered overwhelming tax increases that do not help our city in this time of need. Voters should hold him accountable for this form of legislative laziness if we want to truly help our city recover.
Our city’s 45 billion dollar budget is too large. To much of our hard earned tax dollars are wasted by the inefficient and ineffective way our government functions. I will work hard to change that so every tax dollar is spent responsibly. Reductions in taxes and government spending do not need to come at the expense of the most needy in our city. With proper oversight, we can enact tax reductions that are essential to the future growth of our city’s economy.
As a professional Urban Republican woman, I understand the issues facing our neighborhood and it’s residents. My goal is to protect those in need and, at the same time, protect the future of our great city. With that in mind, I ask for your support.
