We did not ask questions about City finance. They were elected because voters recognized the name. That sounds as if it is straight out of the 1950s and it does not have a place in today s discussions. But, we must start asking candidates for public office where they stand on fiscal and social issues. We must ask the hard questions to find out if a candidate wants to turn the City of Manhattan into a Socialist State.
Manhattan is a great place to live.
It is a beautiful town, but we need better leadership. We need leaders that do not have an agenda, but want what is best for Manhattan. Living Wage, Smart Growth, Clean Cities are words that sound good, but when exposed have little to do with the needs of this community. They are the language of large cities, and the failed theories of other governments. Manhattan must turn to what is right.
