Malliotakis and Mancuso lay out their plans
Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis and her Democratic opponent John Mancuso had a friendly debate at the Fort Hamilton Senior Center at a candidates forum organized by the Bay Ridge Council on Aging on October 17.
In her opening statements, Malliotakis talked about her accomplishments during her freshman term. I closed the $13 billion deficit without raising any taxes and fees. I eliminated clothing sales tax and payroll tax for small businesses, she said, adding that she brought back the X27 bus and would like to restore the B37 as well.
Mancuso said that as a small business owner, he doesnt like the direction in which Albany is going. I know how to take funding and spread it across the district so that the hardworking people get what they deserve, he said.
Mancuso said that he just wants to help people. I will be a fighter and work hard. The only promise is that I will do my absolute best.
