As long as we let the fox guard the hen house, we can have no meaningful change, progress or hope. Just asking for more money for this or that is not the answer. the system is broken, the parents and taxpayers are disenfranchised and the people collecting the paychecks are also the ones running the system. There is no recourse except the Board of Education or the State Education Department and it is like running into a brick wall. The PTA consists of sycophants and that is just the way they want it. No questioning, no honesty. If you report bullying issues whether the bully is another child or an adult like the bus driver, the school admin tries to shut you up as the parent because they don't want it on their record. If the parent speaks up, the child is targeted for retribution. They sneak in pay raises, car allowances for themselves while cutting music, sports, academics. Buses run empty but who cares, its taxpayer money, the bus driver bullies your child and the school turns a blind eye. I could go on and on. I am sure parents across the state have stories after stories all because it is a closed system. We need meaningful reform that puts the parents - every parent equally in the drivers seat.

It’s time to clean up the Sandy cleanup process. Cut ties with Ashbritt and establish a fair, transparent and competitive bidding process for all contracts related to disaster relief efforts.

People against the excessive tolls for the bridges and tunnels into and out of NYC. These tolls are a hidden tax, increase the cost of living in the NYC area and are not going to the crumbling infrastructure of NYC including the highways, roads and public transportation projects. We, the people of the NY Metro area, demand the reduction or elimination of these tolls!
