Education: High school dropout. After 3 years in Army, graduated magna cum laude from LIU in Brooklyn; then from Harvard Law School, with "Wall Street" tax and business course electives
Organizational Affiliations: Loose alliances with organizations to assist in debt relief; and to create jobs, small business opportunities and prosperity for individuals and small communities

1. What is the most important issue in the city you would address if elected?
Offering free 1-year training to all NYC residents (high school seniors, and for all adults, in an adult education program) to enable graduates to obtain jobs anywhere in the US at $25-60/hr (or $80-$100/hr as independent contractors). New internet and computer technology require public schools to change their curriculum to enable NYC residents and small businesses to obtain good jobs, have small business opportunities, and prosper. Curriculum at carlperson.com/resume03
2. What other important issues would you address if elected?
Reduced business regulation. Financial transparency with all payments fully disclosed in a website. Workable public campaign financing. Free public transportation (paid from resulting revenues).
3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?
I've had 50 years of experience in small business and career-oriented education, and understand the education program needed in NYC to create good paying jobs for NYC's residents. To solve the economic problems for most NYC residents, we should create good jobs first, then worry about college.
