Maureen Koetz was a 2014 Republican candidate for District 65 of the New York State Assembly.

Campaign themes

2014

Koetz's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Equal Opportunity Demands Workplace Safety

  • Excerpt: "After-the-fact obstruction of justice, secret taxpayer-funded settlements, and Sheldon Silver’s history and pattern of ignoring sexual abuse and assault complaints compound the harm done by misconduct confirmed by JCOPE. Keeping Silver in office exposes the governing institutions of New York State to public ridicule. Worse, feeble excuses about inadequate ethics rules are an insult to the people of New York. Women in public service, and the people who love and care about them, deserve an Assemblyman who won’t sacrifice them to preserve and protect corrupt allies in power."

Sustainable Growth in Lower Manhattan

  • Excerpt: "Maureen Koetz supports halting all special tax breaks “Shelled out” in State law until school overcrowding is relieved in Lower Manhattan and Sandy reconstruction projects are completed. A Sustainable and Safe Lower Manhattan is for everyone, not just millionaire lawyers like Sheldon Silver."

Energy

  • Excerpt: "Maureen Koetz, an expert in sustainability and infrastructure management, has called for a Sustainability Buildings Plan that includes changes to liability laws and insurance premium costs that prevent smaller landlords and damaged buildings from making resiliency improvements. She also favors a stronger linkage in applicable Environmental Impact Analysis between approval of any state or city land use action for infrastructure projects, and compliance with the City’s Greener, Greater Buildings Plan in a requesting owner’s existing infrastructure portfolio."

Transparency

  • Excerpt: "Increasing taxes, even on high-income earners, is totally unnecessary if the same revenue increases are available from avoiding or eliminating inappropriate tax breaks. The best way to assure steady tax revenues without unnecessary increases is to publicly “score” legislation that alters state revenue intake, and scrub current tax expenditures to recover lost revenue before any new taxes are considered or passed. Public trust in government has been eroded not just by indictments and prison terms on Sheldon Silver’s watch, but by the completely legal yet questionable ways that select wealthy interests influence Albany’s policy choices. This must end."
