103rd Assembly District Democratic candidate Joseph Huff issued a press release challenging his opponent, Republican Marc Molinaro, to talk the talk and walk the walk regarding taxes and school reforms.
Joseph Huff, candidate for the New York Assembly in the 103rd District, challenged Assemblyman Marc Molinaro to back up his words on tax and school reform with action and results.
Huff supports a plan that would shift school funding from the property tax base to the state income tax base and ultimately save homeowners thousands in dollars. Likewise, Huff is in favor of amending the state aid formula so as to prevent penalizing schools that meet or exceed academic expectations.
"It is very disappointing that Assemblyman Molinaro continues to ignore the needs of our schools and communities," said Huff. "Since being elected to the seat, Molinaro has yet to introduce any measures that would put property tax money back in the pockets of Dutchess and Columbia residents. Likewise, Molinaro seems more interested in hosting campaign fundraisers in our schools rather than working to improve them."
"It's obvious that our state government needs a strong voice for change and not career politicians doing the same unproductive things every year," Huff continued.
Huff is an impressive candidate:
Since graduating from Harvard over two decades ago, I have spent much of my career consulting businesses and governments on how to be more effective, more efficient, and more productive - my latest endeavor, with the New York City Department of Human Resources, has had me clean up after a third-party firm that wasted nearly three million dollars in New York taxpayer money. This is the kind of results-oriented experience I plan to bring to Albany as your assemblyman.
The working and middle class families of Dutchess and Columbia Counties need new leadership, because it has become abundantly clear that their current representation has failed them. I'll bring about change in Albany and say no to the status quo, and most importantly, I'll fight with every fiber of my being for the values and issues that face the people of the Hudson Valley.
