Priority Issues:

These are some of the issues on which I'm running:

* Favors public campaign finance laws

* Favors lowering of property and sales tax, and eventually eliminating property taxes and replacing them with a personal income tax

* Favors reinstating revenue sharing and restoring the pre 1972 tax level brackets

* Favors a progressive tax giving a higher tax bracket to the wealthy and a tax break for the lower to middle income earners

* Favors raising the state minimum wage to $15/hr

* Favors free education from day care through universities/vocational schools.

* Favors single payer, universal health care coverage -- Medicare for All

* Favors legalization of marijuana

* Opposes hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and favors a total statewide ban

How will we pay for all this? New York State already has a stock transfer tax with which Wall Street and the banks get rebates every year. Eliminate these rebates and New York State would keep $12-15 billion per year.
