As a Community Board Member of the City of New York for
the last six-years, I have been working to enhance the delivery of “City Services (For example: police, sanitation, health, parks, transportation)” to raise the “quality-of-life” for the people the Bronx. Today, the 13th Council District is facing the greatest challenges to its survival. “Block-busting” is at our doors. “We need to take stock in our Community.”


SEMENTILLI ON TAXES:
Housing tax reeducation is the answer to stabilizing our Community. Create “Housing Zones” in the same manner as economic zones to allow homeowner to take advantage of the same “tax breaks” now given to corporations. “LETS TAKE STOCK IN OUR COMMUNITY.”


Reduce the illegal tax known as the New York City Water Bill. This bill must be eventually phased out to ensure that our community stays strong.


SEMENTILLI ON EMPLOYEMENT:
As a “Union Member ”, I will stop all privatization efforts by NYC. The middle class, blue-collar community is the foundation our Town. To privatize any of the City’s Union jobs means the destruction of the middle class. I will never let that happen.


SEMENTILLI ON CRIME:
The Second Amendment gives the people the authority to make citizens a “peace officer” who is duty bound to protect and support the law and order. Therefore, we can increase the New York City Police Department to 100,000 officers by upgrading the “Auxiliary Police Unit” to full “Police Officer Status.” We all need to be involved to solve the problem.
