Expand all | Collapse all

Who I am is not important. Who the citizens of New York City need to care and act on their concerns is.
  • Audit politicians. How they spent city's money, how much time they spent on their job, how they voted/sponsored, how their constituents are satisfied with their handling/response to their concerns.
  • Audit programs. Are the money spent on the people being helped. Are those helped actually need program's services. How satisfied are the recipients and those waitlisted?
  • Audit services. There should be a real time page showing out-of-order and non-working light poles, elevators, streets, city service phone numbers, websites, agencies, politician offices, etc. Days out-of-order since first reported would be posted.
Success of an office holder is decided by voters. Best possible candidates often are not office holders.
Accountability. The buck literally stops at the comptroller's office.
Watching Apollo moon landing in 1969. 7. Did not know what it meant other than watching older adults gathering around the TV in the streets.
Win a race after nearly a dozen attempts in over 20 years.
Government spents taxpayers' dime. This comptroller candidate intends to make its reporting responsive and understandable on at one-to-one level.
