Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. Do you support joint committees to reconcile differences between bills on the same issue passed by both houses of the legislature?
Yes, I support joint conference committees to resolve differences between bills on the same issue passed by both houses.2. What methods would you support to ensure equity in funding public education?
Every school district in New York State should receive the same basic funding level amount from the state, as a start. This amount should be what is required to ensure a sound, basic education for all children. To pay for this there should be less reliance on property tax wealth, and more reliance, perhaps as much as 50-60%, on state-funded sources such as state income tax and other progressive taxes.3. If Indian Point nuclear power facility licenses are not renewed, how do you propose to ensure adequate electric power for the region?
The Legislature has to enact a Power Site Law. A Site Law will lay out a process for power companies, through which they can apply and receive authorization to build a power plant and provide power to New York. The old law, Article 10, expired two years ago and the Legislature has failed to act. Secondly, New York State should require that the Lovett and Bowline plants operate at full capacity.
