NYC Queens District 19
Welcome to Dan Halloran’s District 19
City Council Candidate’s blog.
Among other things, I’m for a more limited government. In NYC the number of agencies and bureaucracies is staggering – right now there are no less than 65 agencies sharing essentially similar duties and overlapping authority – moreover there are numerous agency level authorities that are really properly sub-agency departments.
So what does that mean? For limiting government – well commissioners, staff, and duplication of efforts/costs/work are all overblown and misspent. Eliminating the top-heavy management and redundancy of resources and merging and coordinating will save billions each year.
There are many important issues requiring right action by your next City Council member, from issues of education and youth, public safety and quality of life, transportation and the infrastructure, senior citizens issues, and of course – taxes and spending. The more we look at government waste and duplication of authority, jurisdiction and spending, the more it makes sense that providing real and useful services to the people relies upon cutting out the waste. Better government means better, more efficient, and increased services at lower cost. Your comments and concerns are welcome here.
