Under our nominal “Republican” mayor, and the anti business Democrats, who control the City Council, New York City is being taxed, levied and fined into oblivion.
The 18.5% property tax hike is picking the pockets of the city’s property owners and renters alike. The politically correct smoking ban, premised on discredited research, is having a devastating economic effect on the bar, restaurant and hospitality industries. Both City Hall and the Council have supported draconian tax increases, which penalize hard working middle class families and stifle our economy. The public school system enjoys an annual budget of $12 billion, yet 250,000 of our young people attend failing schools.
As your councilmember, I will promote an economically rejuvenating agenda of sensible tax cuts and pro business legislation. I will fight to ensure that the 26th CD receives its full share of services. I will strive to eradicate excess, duplication and waste in city government. I will work to enact effective anti graffiti and sanitation legislation.
As a husband, parent and wage earner, I understand the challenges faced by the people of the district. I will work to advance the interests of hard working middle class families, small property owners, small business entrepreneurs, our seniors and our young people. The middle class has been abused, cheated and neglected for too long. On Nov. 4th, vote for Patrick Hurley.
