The purpose of my candidacy is to reverse the constant deterioration of public services in New York City, in contrast to the steady improvement in the city’s private enterprises. I plan to restore free tuition at the City University, augment other public functions, such as library, transportation and garbage collection, equalize salaries of teachers, the police, librarians and other civil service personnel with suburban pay scales, and promote affordable housing through a combination of tax breaks and relaxation of zoning laws. I propose to freeze rents and provide landlords providing proper maintenance and not harassing tenants with tax credits for the difference between the market value and the rent control or rent stabilized price of their property. Tenant groups will have equal say in appointments to the Rent Stabilization Association,

I believe Civil Service in the best way of running government. Every agency will be run by a civil servant. Patronage, workfare and privatization will be eliminated. Those WEB Workers now performing civil service tasks will be provided with civil service status and pay. Every effort will be made to enroll welfare recipients in community colleges equipped with day-care centers.
