My campaign will be about the hard working tax payers and homeowners in my Council District. These people deserve a Councilman who will fight for them in the City Council. Homeowners should not suffer because liberal politicians will not control their spending and only care about special interest groups. The increases in property taxes are outrageous. If elected I will fight for an immediate reduction of the property tax. My message will be one that is long overdue, property owners have rights too!
Education is another area that must be addressed. Currently it costs approximately $11,000 annually per student to educate a child in the New York City public school system. Many students do not even graduate and test scores are poor. Some student do not even read or write adequately. Not only does the taxpayer foot the bill, but parents who send their children to Catholic or other private schools have to support a failed public education system and get no help with their own children’s tuition. When is somebody going to stand up for them? Liberal democrats love to yell “We need more money for education”, another favorite “No child should be left behind”. The liberal democrats have managed to bilk the taxpayers and leave many students behind. It is time for parents to have a choice in their children’s education. School vouchers has worked in other parts of the country and it will work in New York City. If this is accomplished the children of New York City will be the winners.
My campaign will be about standing up for working families in my community that are overburdened with property, income and sales taxes. Families that want to choose the best education for their children. The middle class taxpayer and property owners have been neglected and taken advantage of by politicians who are only interested in their special interest groups. There is a silent majority of working people and homeowners in my community that are a victim of the cities oppressive taxes, these people are my special interest group.
