When was the last time you heard a politician said he/she was wrong? The problem lies in the system. There is no auditing on laws passed, politician’s constituent service, community board records, nor 311 reports.
There are plenty of laws on the book. Politicians ignore most and pick problems that get media attention. A tiny list of laws that need to be cross checked among all stakeholders, reviewed, and audited includes:
- MTA response to fare evasion on trains, buses and subway
- Congestion Pricing’s $1 billion revenue + clean air promise
- NYC Garbage Bin refunds and enforcement
- Status and unfairness in reforming real estate tax
- Housing supply and building restrictions
- Coop and Condo management and abatement issues
- Local Laws 11 & 97 that gave rise to a cottage industry
- COVID accounting and mistakes not fixed
- Parking, speeding, noise, infrastructure problems
