Dan Halloran and members of the North Queens Community came out in force to join Tea Party and Liberty protestors to rally against the Obamacare Healthcare proposals that could undermine the Nation’s healtcare system and impose socialized medicine. Congressman Gary Ackerman’s office was innundated with protestors and media because he has ignored the calls of his constitutents and repeated requests for a town-hall meeting to discuss the matter.
Conservative party Mayoral candidate Terrance M. Gray joined Conservative Party Chairman Tom Long, Queens County GOP Executive Vice Chairman Vince Tabone, Queens County Libertarian Party Chairman John Procida, Tea Party activist Phil Orenstein, and New York City Council Candidate Dan Halloran at the protest. With over 50 protestors on site, the Ackerman office attempted to call in support but wound up with only 8 senior citizens who had been scared by the tactics of the AARP and other left-wing groups that erroneously tie the Healthcare reform to their Medicare survival.
Halloran said, ” When the tactics of this administration are to scare the elderly to prevent them from knowing the truth about the socialization of medicine and hides behind 1000 pages of a bill to prevent the common man from understanding it…. you know they are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Fortunately, American Patriots won’t stand for it and are fighting back!”

The New York City District Council of Carpenters and Joiners proudly endorsed Dan Halloran in the 19th City Council District race. The Carpenters, one of the largest unions represented in the district, gave the nod to Halloran on Friday, and pledged their support to the Independent Republican.
Halloran said, ” I am very grateful for the endorsement of the District Council of Carpenters and pledge to work tirelessly to ensure that our working middle-class is not forgotten by City Hall.”
In this hotly contested race, where 6 Democrats are vying to run against Halloran in November, the Union’s endorsement is a major victory in Halloran’s effort to shake up the establishment at the City Council. Halloran has vowed to be a bridge between the working middle class and transparent government.

On Wednesday evening the Board of Elections ruled on the Opportunity to Ballot Petitions filed for the Independence Party line in the 19th Council District. After reviewing the Petitions, the Clerk’s report found that the Petition did not have a sufficient number of valid signatures. The Commissioners of Queens and their respective Clerks, unanimously tossed out the Opportunity to Ballot.
As a result of the Board’s decision the Opportunity to Ballot Petition has been dismissed and Dan Halloran will be the candidate on the Independence Party line, in addition he will be running on the Republican, Conservative, and Libertarian lines, also without challenge. When asked for comment members of the Committee to Elect Dan Halloran said they had no comment, except to say they are looking forward to November and the General Election.
At the Night Out Against Crime, Council Candidate Dan Halloran, a former member of the NYPD and prosecutor, and current of counsel PBA Attorney, joined the the community in commending members of the NYPD at the 109th and 111th Precincts. The Tuesday evening events were attended by hundreds of residents of the 19th Council District at both ends of the District; Flushing and Douglaston respectively. Halloran, who comes from a long line of NYPD officers and officials, joined State Senator Frank Padavan in praising the two police precincts and their commanding officers, Deputy Inspectors Whalen and Hanover. The community spent an evening alongside the New York’s Finest and enjoyed a relaxing and festive night which was also full of informative booths and neighborhood sponsors.
Council Candidate Halloran Salutes Mayor’s MTA Plan But Calls for Further Development of the Proposal to Include Audit and Accountability
Today, the Mayor proposed a sweeping overhaul of the MTA; ranging from common sense practical programs onto realistic renovations of older and underused resources that will improve ridership throughout the City. His specific programs to expand the CityTicket program to include LIRR and Metro North stations so that Bronx and Queens riders pay reduced fares will be of great benefit to those boroughs and has an eye for moving the MTA towards a unified pay-system. Other portions of the Bloomberg plan include a reopening of the Staten Island North Shore Rail, countdown clocks on subway routes, and Pilot light rail and street-car services in North Brooklyn and Western Queens waterfront neighborhoods. The proposal also deals with the Bus and Toll portions of the MTA’s reach by expanding Rapid Transit to reduce travel times on bus routes in congested areas, providing free cross-town buses, commuter vans, improvements to the ParaTransit services to provide better transportation for handicapped and elderly riders and using tracking technology and reductions during slower periods and increased evening service to ease congestion, overcrowding and underutilization. The Mayor also suggests gateless tolls at the crossings, and expanded Ferry systems and even HOV improvements and expansions.
In addition to these functional improvements, Mike Bloomberg correctly posits the need for a unified Police presence overseeing the safety and security of the MTA system, and improved public-private partnerships to maintain and improve the stations and lines. The most significant aspect of his plan revolves around an overhaul of the MTA’s bureaucracy. It is here that I believe the Mayor must reach further and force Albany to open the books on the MTA and make it a more transparent authority.
While I salute the Mayor for his vision and organized plan to cut the bloated bureaucracy and restore services that are cost-effective and responsible his plan to merge overlapping administrative functions and to eliminate bureaucratic redundancy (something that I may add could be done to the general City government as well), is just the beginning. The MTA should have its books comprehensively audited and a thorough cost-cutting analysis done top to bottom. The MTA was originally formed some 30 years ago; Albany chartered it to be a cost savings authority, to make the rapid transit systems more efficient, and to eliminate redundancy and duplicative costs, it has devolved into quite the opposite: inefficient, bloated, and unresponsive. If the Mayor is to succeed in a long term solution to the transit crisis, it will require a complete make-over at the MTA and the public will need to feel they can TRUST that their money is being spent wisely. The rapid transit system must be clean, efficient, on-time, and cost-effective. Anything less simply punts the problem to the future. We cannot afford another overrun and a Hudson-River-Two-Step from Albany. Open the Books, Audit the Budget, and Set the MTA right side up now, since we are likely starting from near scratch.
If anyone can force Albany to listen, it is Mayor Mike; it’s a fight worth taking on if the mayor is serious about fixing the MTA.

City Hall Press reported this week that Democratic Party Candidate Kevin Kim is using an election loophole to attempt to force a primary in the Independence Party against the IP Candidate Dan Halloran, who has cross endorsements of the Republican, Conservative, Independence, and Libertarian Parties.
Fearing the successful cross-party Candidate, they are attempting to use an Opportunity to Ballot Petition which is called the “Pandora’s Box” of politics. Independence Party Vice Chairman Tom Conolly gave Halloran the party’s “Full Support” and is standing by the Party Candidate. Kathy Stewart and Molly Honingsfeld, who were involved in the local Petitioning for Halloran have likewise stepped forward to suppor their candidate and fend off the party raid by the tactic of Kim.
