This week we asked readers their thoughts on the recent election, its outcome and issues they hope Albany elected officials will tackle in the 2015 Legislative Session.
The only thing I have to say is they’re really not doing much. I just know I’m lucky to have a job, I work for the city. But I feel sorry for people who don’t have a job or work for private companies, the way rents are going up. And why do they keep raising the rates of public transportation?
Jose Feliciano, Mount Hope
What I hope for politicians to do is actually do what they said they are going to do. If they said they’re going to bring more jobs or healthcare to the community, that’s what we want and that’s what they should achieve. We need more positive results in low income communities.
Jerry Rodriguez, Yankee Stadium
I think we need just what [Governor Andrew] Cuomo said, computers in the schools. I know what they can do and they should go to the schools. And let’s see who our president is going to be in 2016.
Leonard Richardson, Norwood
You know, I think both sides are corrupt to tell you the truth…tax breaks for the middle class. We currently pay a lot of taxes right now. Personally, I would like the repeal of Obamacare because I’m paying more for my health insurance now and it’s been more difficult in the past five years with [President] Obama than the previous eight years of Bush.
Thomas Aguila, Wakefield
I think they should work on the conduct of police officers. There should be stiffer penalties for police officers who break the law. I feel police are no longer viewed as protecting and serving the people. People are afraid of them.
Tommy Walsh, Norwood
