As a primer here’s video of the two candidates debating at a the LGBT Community Center of New York City:
Great news, Homer! Will you ask them about term limits?
My question would be something on how each of them expects to get things done for our district as a political neophyte. I love that they are both fresh faces, but i want to hear how they can command respect when they show up in Albany.
1. Will you make any effort to change NY State government from it’s, in effect, three man show? What would those proposed changes be?
2, Do you have any concerns about public pensions. Specifically the assumptions underlying the funding decisions?
Ask Chromczak how he reconciles being gay and being a Republican. Has he seen the Republican party’s platform?
Even though the Bosset/College Dorm thing has fallen through (for now), please ask how each candidate plans to handle the influx of college students already in the neighborhood, especially those leaving Clark and Henry Streets an ugly mess in the morning and acting loud and rowdy at night? What does the future hold for BH and other nabes? (file under “Nightlife issues”)
Also, their thoughts on the parking situation and parking permits as well as LICH (how to save it/let it go).
Finally, what they plan to do about the ever shrinking budgets of the community board(s). Thank you.
