I am running for City Council
in the 26th District because my life has been
dedicated to public service and because I have
proven that I know how to get positive results
for my community.
As a prosecutor of violent felons
in Queens, I understand that the top priority
of everyone is to be safe on our streets, in our
homes and in our schools. As a former schoolteacher,
I know that more attention must be paid to the
crisis in our overcrowded and understaffed schools.
As a neighbor, I have seen firsthand what factories,
major highways and new power plants are doing
to the health of our seniors and children.
Therefore, if privileged to serve
as your City Council Member, I plan to spearhead
the expansion of the “Compstat” approach
of the NYPD to a program called “CITISTAT”,
a computerized system to improve the efficiency
of all city services like pothole and streetlight
repairs, sanitation and transportation. With today’s
technology, city government can seek out and find
the trouble spots in our neighborhoods and eliminate
problems before they get too big.
I will fight for satellite police
stations to better serve the areas of the districts
far from the main precinct houses.
I will advocate the abolition of
the Board of Education and use the savings from
reduced bureaucracy to bring our teacher’s salaries
up to par with those in the suburbs. I will be
a much needed advocate to force the School Construction
Authority to quickly build new desperately needed
schools.
You can rest assured that as your Council Member,
I won’t wait until it’s too late to fight the
environmental polluters like the utility companies
whose current expansion continues to destroy the
health our neighbors.
