Stimulate Business Activity and Job Growth
Cut the unincorporated business tax by 50%, allowing small businesses to hire more employees, improving the economy for everyone.
Make NYC More Affordable
Eliminate the sales tax on all utility bills and support affordable housing to ensure seniors and middle-class families can afford to live in Manhattan.
Promote Fiscal Responsibility
City spending is out of control. It shortchanges the real needs of the people and over-burdens our tax base. In these tough economic times government must do more with less.
Make Transportation Work for the East-Side
Expand existing services that our community can benefit from immediately, like increasing bus lines and routes, rather than relying on an uncertain, debt-driven project that won’t help for decades.
