1. What is the most important issue in Council District 17 you would address if elected? There are so many issues that I have worked hard to address during my tenure as a Council Member. Two of the most pressing are the negative environmental impact that the many waste transfer stations, the DEP sewage water treatment plant and the New York Organic Fertilizer Co. (NYOFCO) sewage treatment facility have on the community; and the need for affordable housing for seniors and the working families in the district.
2. What other important issues would you address if elected? Others issues include but are not limited to; the disproportionate number of homeless shelters and transitional housing programs sited in the district; the need for more green-open space, parks and recreational facilities; and the rate of unemployment experienced by residents of the District.
3. What makes you the best candidate for this office? I have lived and worked in the 17th Council District for 42 years and have a deep commitment to ensuring the best level of services to my neighbors in the district. I have the ability to work in collaboration with all stakeholders affected by issues or concerns. Already, my collaborative approach has enabled me to negotiate the best outcome for all stakeholders in many complex and difficult situations.
