Short, sweet, and right to the point!
26% of the vote
The biggest percentage in New York County
I am told that this is mind-boggling considering the parameters of my campaign.
First time out. Running against an incumbent with over $330,000.00 in funds and thoroughly backed by
the ‘machine.’ Only four (4) months into the game with
NO GUIDANCE, NO SUPPORT, NO BACKUP, NO MONEY.
I raised a total of $1,462.00 in contributions mostly from retirees and fixed income folks. I am personally down

The Second Avenue Subway – An Abomination of Taxpayer Waste

I have recently written to the Daily News as a rebuttal to an article about the relocating of tenants, demolition of buildings and the destruction of businesses on Second Ave. Since that time I have done additional research into the matter after having attended the CB8 MTA meeting. Curiously, I was the only candidate in attendance as well as there not being any incumbents. No surprise there.

That it will not be finished in the proposed time and at the proposed cost is further exacerbated by the apathy of the community except to say that they are disturbed and disenchanted with the entire situation. There is a lot of anger and vehemence concerning this issue and though it may be only a local matter, it does involve the entire city. and the manner in which government is conducted.
