Our tax dollars should serve hardworking NYC residents, not noncitizens. I will fight to ensure housing, benefits, and services go to New Yorkers who have earned them, not to those gaming the system.
We must protect our senior citizens. I will push to freeze property taxes for New Yorkers over 65 who have lived in our communities for an extended period so they can afford to stay in the city they helped build.
Fair Fares NYC is supposed to help low income and senior New Yorkers afford public transportation, but right now only 34 percent of eligible residents are using it. I will work to expand outreach and simplify the application process so more people can get the help they need to ride the subways and buses without breaking the bank.
I will not let out of touch environmental policies punish everyday New Yorkers. I will fight against costly green mandates that raise utility bills, force unnecessary household regulations, and burden families with fines for not sorting compost into yet another government issued bin.
We need practical common sense solutions, not climate virtue signaling that makes life more expensive for working families.
Food prices are out of control and working New Yorkers are feeling it. I will support the development of more food co-ops and warehouse clubs across the city and subsidize memberships for lower income residents. I will also promote buying co-ops for small business owners so they can lower their costs and pass the savings on to customers. It is time to empower our communities, not tax and regulate them into poverty.
New Yorkers are being nickeled and dimed to death. From bag fees to phone surcharges and hidden taxes on utilities, the cost of living keeps climbing. I will fight to eliminate unnecessary everyday taxes and block new ones. The city needs to live within its means, not squeeze working people to cover its waste.
