(Maximum of 800 characters) A: We must cut taxes and require regulatory reform to help reduce the burden on local families and businesses, just as we’ve

done in New York State over the last six years. As State Senator, I’ve cut state income taxes for middle class families to their lowest levels in decades (twice) and cut taxes for businesses without raising a single tax or fee. Right now, federal corporate tax rates for small businesses are over 35%, the highest of any industrial-

ized country. Reducing those rates and removing loopholes would enable all businesses to invest those savings into growing their business, creating jobs and raising wages. Giving people more opportunity to get good paying, full time jobs is the best way to achieve economic growth while reducing income inequality.

ON THE ISSUES TAXES Supports cutting taxes generally. Thinks the U.S. must lower its corporate tax rate, the highest in the industrialized world, to bring it on par with the average and make the U.S. “competitive.”

HEALTH CARE Thinks the Affordable Care Act has failed and has raised costs while limiting choices. Wants to replace it with a system that allows insurance companies to sell policies across state lines.

Suozzi spends big, narrows money gap

BY N O A H M A N S K A R Democrat Tom Suozzi’s financial advantage over Republican Jack Martins has been halved to about $75,000 with less than two weeks in the 3rd Congressional District race, campaign finance filings show.

Suozzi, a former Nassau County executive, both raised and spent more money than Martins, an Old Westbury state senator, between Oct. 1 and Oct. 19, leaving him with $329,213 on hand to Martins’ $253,935, according to reports filed Oct. 27 with the Federal Election Commission.

Both candidates for the North Shore district spent more than they raised.

Suozzi collected $203,870 and spent $364,396, while Martins took in $111,734 and spent $182,762.

As of Saturday, Suozzi had received

another $66,100 and Martins another $67,100 since the end of the filing period.

Suozzi’s large spending indicates he is not treating the race as finished despite large leads in polls.

That’s a sign of lessons learned from Suozzi’s 2009 county executive campaign, in which he lost by a few hundred votes and left $2 million in the bank, he said.

“That’ll never happen again,” Suozzi said.

Martins, meanwhile, continues to spend heavily on print, media, radio and TV advertising to increase his name recognition, his main obstacle against well-known Suozzi.

About 85 percent, or $155,465, of his spending was for ads, his filings show.

The ads help remind voters of Mar-

tins’ bipartisan, tax-cutting record in Albany and of the tax hikes Suozzi imposed as county executive, causing the race to tighten, said E. O’Brien Murray, Martins’ senior strategist.

As the shifts in polling show, momentum is on our side, because the more people that know Tom Suozzi’s record of taking over $500,000 in pay raises, repeatedly increasing taxes and committing fraud, the less likely they are to vote for him,” Murray said in a statement.

Suozzi has defended his tax increases as necessary to rescue Nassau County’s finances and said the pay raise he took as county executive was recommended by a bipartisan commission.

Martins’ filings do not show any payments to Murray, who has been his chief spokesman and strategist since January.

Suozzi’s campaign has questioned who is paying Murray’s salary and who funded Martins’ court fight this summer to avoid a GOP primary.

A review of federal campaign finance filings showed he has received only one payment this year: for $179 from the federal arm of the New York Republican State Committee.

Filings also indicate the National Republican Congressional Committee paid Martins’ legal bills.

Martins’ campaign has in turn questioned whether Suozzi was the one paying Perkins Coie, the firm that represented him when he got involved in Martins’ case.

Suozzi’s filing shows an outstanding bill for $30,000 that his campaign says it received just before the filing deadline. The campaign also paid the firm $10,000 in August.

ADAM HABER (DEM, WFP, WEP)

ELAINE R. PHILLIPS (REP, CON, IND, RFM)

Residence: East Hills

Residence: Flower Hill A: My top three priorities include tackling the burden of too high property taxes, supporting a strong and equitably funded public education system, and addressing issues of corruption in state government.

For too long the hardworking families on Long Island have been giving more to Albany in taxes than they get back in services and the time has come for a change.

We need an advocate in the

Q: Priorities: What would be your top three priorities?

State Senate who will fight to put Long Island First and who knows the steps we must take to curb wasteful spending without losing jobs and services, to provide adequate state funding to all of our public school districts and to change the “business as usual” policies that keep corrupt elected officials in positions of power for longer than they should ever be allowed to remain in office.

Q: Priorities: What would be your top three priorities?

A: -- Affordability – I want to ensure that families

and seniors can afford to live on Long Island, and so I will work to lower taxes, fight for our fair share of aid for schools and communities, and create better opportunity for jobs and a robust, local economy. -- Ethics – As Mayor of my village, I enacted a tough new ethics law and independent ethics oversight.

In the Senate, I will work to clean up corrupt Albany by enacting term limits and greater transparency, and for a new law to take away the

ON THE ISSUES ETHICS Supports a 12-year term limit for legislators, eliminating the LLC loophole in campaign finance law and reducing the amount of money individuals and corporations can donate to political campaigns. Favors an “independent counsel” to review legislators’ outside

income to ensure any other job they have is not associated with government.

AFFORDABILITY Favors a permanent tax cap. Said county processes for contract bidding and getting permits need improvement. Favors putting county bids on the New York State bidding registry rather than just the county

pensions of corrupt politicians. -- Conservation – I’m proud to have been endorsed by the state’s leading environmental advocacy group, the NY League of Conservation Voters, in recognition of my record on behalf of cleaner water and air. A clean environment is the gift we leave to future generations and, in Albany, I will fight to protect Long Island and NYS’s environment—and especially our water—and create a cleaner, better future for all.

ON THE ISSUES website. Says speeding up building and business permits would lead to lower taxes.

EDUCATION REFORM Says school districts should not be punished for having students opt out of Common Core standardized tests. Favors changing the state’s Common Core standards.

AFFORDABILITY Supports the property tax cap. Thinks there are ways for municipalities to remain under the tax cap and contain spending.

Thinks there is fat to be trimmed from the state budget, and that legislators must to make “tough decisions” to do so.

ETHICS Favors more “transparency” for political donors and contract bidding. Favors giving the state comptroller oversight of bidding for state contracts. Supports an eight- or 12-year term limit for senators and a six-year limit for committee leaders.

Opposes making Legislature membership a full-time job.

Supports eliminating the LLC loophole.

My fourth priority will be to protect the waterways and natural resources with which we have been blessed on the North Shore. We can achieve this by working to prevent saltwater and nitrogen pollution in our groundwater, and protecting our shorelines from the threats of climate change through smart investments in alternative energy. Finally, I will work to combat the heroin epidemic plaguing Long Island. This will involve finding new ways to prevent the over prescription of addictive pain killers, using our law enforcement resources to target heroin dealers, and expanding treatment and rehabilitation programs to those who fall victim to addiction.

Q: Priorities: What would be your top three priorities?

A: Like many voters, the issue foremost on my mind is ethics. When I get to Albany, I will make it my mission to pass serious, comprehensive ethics reform that includes term limits, a robust ethics board, tougher penalties for corrupt politicians, and more government transparency. I will also push for an overhaul of our state contract and grant process that too often benefits

campaign contributors at the expense of taxpayers.

My second priority will be reforming our state’s tax and regulatory codes, which are among the most burdensome in the country.

We should reform our tax code by lowering rates, eliminating special-interest loopholes, and making the property tax cap permanent.

We should also eliminate the burdensome and unnecessary regulations that raise the cost of living and doing business on Long Island.

This would spur the kind of economic growth and job creation that this state so desperately needs. Third, I will introduce education reform legislation designed to bring our public school system into the 21st century. This will include more technology in the classroom, reforming Common Core, and passing common-sense

whereabouts are known to the community. These lists would be made public and could be searched in order to ensure that you are fully aware if someone could be a danger to your welfare.

We never want to see the tragedy that happened to young Brittany Passalacqua and her mother happen to anyone else. • Ethics Reform: I want to continue the efforts of Assembly republicans who have called for greater change and transparency in Albany. This includes removing unspent campaign contributions of an elected official convicted of a felony offense related to his/her official duties to be returned or donated to charity. I would also support bill number A.2826 that would require all candidates provide a link on their official website that would direct you to their financial disclosure reports.

members to involuntarily admit other members of their immediate family who are suffering from opioid/ heroin addiction but still don’t seek help. I would also fight to make criminal possession of Fentanyl a class E felony. Brittany’s Law: It is of the utmost importance to make sure that citizens remain informed about convicted violent offenders in their community. There is currently in place a New York State Sex Offender List and local animal abuse lists where you can look to make sure that potential threats in your area are known to you in order to better protect your family. Brittany’s Law is seeking to create a registry where violent offenders who have committed a class A felony (Murder 1st, Arson 1st, etc.) are required to contact the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services to ensure their

(3) Education - As the Ranking Member of the Education Committee I have been at rth Hempstead the forefront of the fight to reduce our over-reliance on NASSAU standardized testing and to ensure fair opportunities for every student. I will continue to fight for fair and appropriate standards, a teacher evaluation system that utilizes true measures of learning and instruction and for alternative assessment models that allow for opportunities for all of New York’s students to succeed.

We also must continue to ensure adequate funding is provided to Long Island’s school districts because our receiving our fair share from Albany reduces the burden on our property tax payers and helps preserve essential programs.

Q: Priorities: What wo1.

Priorities: What would be your top three priorities?

A: (1) Ethics reform We must continue to work to restore the people’s faith in our State Government to have the credibility to work on the issues facing New York State. We need internal reforms to how the Assembly operates to stop “three men in a room” budget negotiations and adopting bills with no

transparency in the middle of the night. We need term limits for legislative leaders and committee chairs and an equal allocation of resources to prevent leaders from becoming all powerful as this is a recipe for corruption. (2) Taxes and job creation - I am proud that we have adopted two middle class income tax cuts during my tenure and have restored property tax rebate checks. We must now focus on adopting policies to help our small businesses grow in order to grow our economy and create good paying jobs. Gimmick programs like START-UP NY are not the answer but rather initiatives that provide across the board improvements to our business climate like reducing fees and cutting bureaucratic red tape and reducing

NASSAU COUNTY LEGISLATURE DISTRICT 16 ★ Choose One ★

ARNOLD W. DRUCKER (DEM, WFP, IND) Residence: Plainview

Q: What do you consider the two most important issues over the next two years and what would you do to deal with these issues?

A: The number one

Residence: Plainview issue affecting the residents of this district is the corruption, patronage, cronyism and nepotism that has infected this County and the Town of Oyster Bay, creating a government that is neither trustworthy nor fiscally prudent in spending the taxpayers’ money. We need elected officials who demand nothing less than full transparency and accountability for all decisions affecting we taxpayers, and it must begin with the establishment of an independent inspector general to oversee the pro-

curement system in Mineola and the Town of Oyster Bay in which taxpayers’ dollars are being dissipated by wasteful and outrageous 3rd party contracts and leases to outside vendors which has now been reported to be a violation of innumerable standards. The second issue is the manner in which the County Executive proclaims that he is not raising property taxes while imposing incredibly burdensome fees on the residents and small businesses which is basically a “bait and switch”.

ON THE ISSUES ETHICS Supports the appointment of an independent inspector general to oversee Nassau County contracts.

LOUIS IMBROTO (REP, CON, TRP)

AFFORDABILITY Opposes increases to county fees instead of property taxes as “sleight of hand,” but also opposes a tax increase.

FINANCIAL STABILITY Opposes County Executive Edward Mangano’s practice borrowing to balance the budget. Supports cuts to county spending.

Q: What do you consider the two most important issues over the next two years and what would you do to deal with these issues?

A: The two most important issues in this election are property taxes and protecting our suburban quality of life.

As legislator, I will continue to hold the line on property taxes and reduce wasteful

spending so that Long Island remains affordable for middle class families. I will make protecting our quality of life a top priority. I intend to focus on improving public safety, fixing our broken roads, and protecting our environment, including our trees. I will oppose over-development and fight to protect our suburban quality of life.

ON THE ISSUES ETHICS Opposes an independent inspector general until results of recent reforms are known.

AFFORDABILITY Supports a cut to prop-

erty taxes. Says steep ticketing fee increases “might be too high,” but he would support “incremental fee increases” once concerns have been addressed in the legislative process.

FINANCIAL STABILITY Opposes County Executive Edward Mangano’s past borrowing to balance the budget. Supports cuts to county spending.
