My Voting Recommendations, by City Council Candidate Yehuda Shaffer

by Yehuda Shaffer

Who should you vote for? Well here are my recommendations; 

Mayor: Cuomo

Public Advocate: Gonzalo Duran

Comptroller: Mark Levine

City Council: Yehuda Shaffer/Benny Rosenberger (whichever is on your ballot)

Proposals:

1. Yes

2. No

3. No

4. No

5. Yes

6. Yes

As for the why. 

Mayor: Cuomo; He’s better than the guy we don’t want, and has a chance of beating him.

Public Advocate: Gonzalo Duran; Met him, good guy with good values, and I’m on the ballot as an independent under his party.

Comptroller: Mark Levine; Why not?

City Council: Yehuda Shaffer/Benny Rosenberger (whichever is on your ballot); If you don’t understand yourself, I can’t help you…

Proposals:

1. Yes; Building an Olympic sporting venue in Essex County, and adding more new forest to Adirondack Park, sounds like a good idea to me.

2. No; This would make it easier for the mayor to force housing projects onto communities, and give the community less say in the matter.

3. No; see #2 above.

4. No; see #2 above.

5. Yes; Making a unified digital map of the city, sounds like something that is long overdue.

6. Yes; We want people to go out and vote, having fewer election days by having local and federal elections at the same time, sounds like a good idea to get more people to vote, and is sure to save the city a bundle of money.
