Carrie Solages completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Solages' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- A program must be initiated to use public spending and tax incentives to attract small businesses, large corporations should not be the only one receiving tax cuts, however, they should be given incentives to keep jobs domestic. The aid which was allocated for small businesses by the federal government and provided to New York State needs to be dispersed. I call on these funds to be immediately distributed to assist our small businesses owners. Solages will set up a fund which is targeted to help small business owners, minority and woman owed businesses to recover from the pandemic. In addition, he will introduce legislation for small businesses to be offered a different pay structure giving them the ability to offer benefits.
- In the United States, women are still being denied equal pay and economic empowerment. Today full-time working women are paid on average only 77 percent of what men are paid; for women of color, the gap is significantly wider. Wage inequities follow women into their retirement years, reducing their Social Security benefits, pensions, savings and other financial resources. Achieving equal pay means economic empowerment for women.
- Nassau Counties first goal should be to stabilize the property rate so homeowners can keep more of their hard-earned dollars. Seniors who collect social security and no longer have children in school’s should be relieved from paying school taxes if their income is under 150k yearly. Solages will restore fairness to the tax code. There are currently 3143 counties in the United States. Nassau County is ranked 4th for the highest median property taxes in the United States. The average yearly property tax paid by Nassau County residents amounts to about 8.26% of their yearly income.
Carrie is someone who can make the hard decisions when needed. Solages as a leader has shown us his dedication to standing up for our community.
