We should welcome the fact that six mid-Hudson Valley candidates running for the New York State Senate formed a coalition to make things better for the people of our region. There is greater strength in numbers.
State Senator Jen Metzger is one of the six, and that’s not surprising given how well she listens to and works with others. The group intends to promote local PPE (personal protective equipment) manufacturing and distribution. This addresses the Covid 19 pandemic and at the same time enhances our local economy.
The group also plans to take on the backward way New York State funds schools and town governments through property taxes. Our property taxes are among the highest in the nation and have driven away so many New Yorkers that we’ve lost congressional seats. Albany is supposed to support education through state income taxes and if the state taxed income rather than the homes people live in, the burden would be shouldered much more fairly.
A vote for Senator Jen Metzger is a vote for a politician who works hard for us.
