duck, duck, Goose
Let's face it. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck,
and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.
Whether they have red or blue feathers, party politics is mostly a game of duck, duck, Goose with a "What's in it for me?" culture that treats it all like one big party. And we're left to clean up the mess.
I grew up in here and have made a difference in the lives of Seniors and Youth throughout New York by good ol' hard work that I learned right here. My neighbors ARE my business and I always lead from the front. Your vote shouldn't be like playing a game of duck, duck, Goose. No one is looking to solve problems, They’re looking to profit from them. I live these problems with you everyday and I’m here to solve the problems with you. I'm Rubén Cruz, and I want to represent you in NYS Assembly District 24.
In addition to my platform, I want to institute the following:
Support local economy and small businesses by reinstating universal rent-stabilization for commercial tenants. Better access to lines of credit. Automatic home tax reduction at age 65 on the STAR/SCHE program.
I want to cut small business fines.
I want to encourage more local groups in District to start 501c3 organizations
I want to slash extraneous charges and fees on our telephone, cable, and utility bills.
I want a cap on interest rates.
Fund the Department of Sanitation to keep our streets clean and our city healthy.
Bank fees, ATM fees. I’m coming after you.
