The only candidate speaking of an issue near and dear to coop owners hearts and wallets is Joe Lhota, who has stated that the way in which coop apartment building values are assessed is unfair.
FINALLY! This issue needs more attention.
We coop owners have been hosed over the last 10 years.
What do you think?
Well, no argument there. Our condo apartment's taxes jumped quite a bit this year -- under a Republican mayor. Although even our Manhattan taxes are less than for houses valued less in some parts of New Jersey (with a Republican governor).
Oh those dangerous Republicans - imagine shutting down the government because they want to contain spending before raising debt. Let's just spend ourselves into bankruptcy and not worry about it.
So it's OK to shut down the government every time you want to repeal a law you don't like? Really? That's not extremism? if you think it's normal to do that -- even after the Supreme Court OK'd it -- then people like you are the dangerous ones.
Not a Republican. Those people are crazy -- they shut the government down because they didn't like a law that Congress passed, the president signed, the Supreme Court affirmed, and that withstood every other legal challenge thrown at it. Maybe 12 years ago a New York Republican was his own man, but now? The political landscape has gotten extreme -- even the moderates kowtow to the extremist wing. Republicans are dangerous
We're not religious antiabortionists who vote for a candidate based on a single issue. We have a responsibility to look at the totality of a candidate, not just what's good for us, personally, in one narrow area.
