CD #23 which includes both SD #26 and SD #29, needs more schools. We need to keep class sizes at 20 or less students. Although SD #26 is the best in the city, it needs more enrichment programs in order to maintain its standing. NYC must pay teachers more in order to keep them in the city. I would put my financial expertise to work in finding budgetary solutions to help our schools get the funding it needs.
We need to provide better services to our seniors. Our neighborhoods need more community policing. Sanitation and fire departments are crucial to our neighborhoods.
The Building Department needs a complete overhaul and better-qualified and trained inspectors must be hired to stop the proliferation of single-family dwellings turning into multiple family dwellings. All buildings inspectors should be licensed professionals.
I have the endorsement of most Queens elected officials including Members of Congress Ackerman, Meeks and Lowey, comptroller Carl McCall, A.G. Elliot Spitzer, and Borough President Claire Shulman. I have the endorsement of the UFT, 1199, CWA and many other unions and the Working Families and Liberal parties.
I have the best combination of community service and expertise in finance to make sure that District #23 gets its fair share of NYC’s $39.7 billion budget
