"That of a watchdog, ensuring that all New Yorkers receive the City services they deserve and have a voice in shaping the policies of their government.."
Both Squadron and James have good records in public service and would serve that role well. Here is the issue that bothers me.
It will cost $13 million to hold this runoff election while the budget for Public Advocate is only $2 million. Isn't there a more efficient way of running this election? I guess most of this money will go to pay people to sit on their butts in the polling place while so few people come into vote. There are plenty of better ways to spend $13 million:
- Resources for the New York City Schools
- Food for the hungry and homeless
- Fixing the infrastructure
- Many others
To protest this inefficient method of holding an election I am not voting for either candidate.
