Jobs & Safety Agenda Everyday we learn about another person shot, stabbed, or something stolen in New York City. The crime and grime is reaching all time record highs due to lack of strong leadership in City Hall. It is crystal clear that divisive Democrats made New York City dirty and dangerous again. The strongest candidate for New York City Mayor Fernando Mateo believes that "Big Government Policies" are the BIGGEST problem preventing progress. As the next Mayor of NYC, Mateo will roll back defeatist policies that ruined New York City. Further, Mateo believes in taking "Positions" on issues and implementing proven plans to accomplish key objectives and results. The primary objective for New York City is JOBS and SAFETY. A Mayor Mateo will make New York City SAFE again! A Mayor Mateo will make New York City CLEAN again! A Mayor Mateo will make New York City WORK again! Safe Haven Subways Plan Place 2 Cops on every platform Deploy “Specialized Safety Teams” to ride trains to engage homeless & mentally ill Remove emotionally disturbed persons from Subways to get appropriate help Crack down on loitering, litter, graffiti, and stop fare evaders in the Subways Expand cleaning efforts to make Subways cleaner and smell fresh Add more lights to cast out dark areas in and around Subways Install more safety buttons with high-definition video cameras throughout the system and partner with local businesses to provide “Safe Havens” for those under attack Mayor to invoke maximum Charter Power to arrest and detain dangerous individuals, bypassing the broken Bail Reform System and not waiting for Albany to act on Kendra’s Law. REPEAL RADICAL COVID REGULATIONS The Only Republican Mayoral Candidate Fernando Mateo Calls for the REPEAL of RADICAL LEFT COVID REGULATIONS to PROTECT BUSINESSES from the RISK OF ENDLESS LITIGATION! EVICT CITIBIKE STREET DOCKS! RESTORE PARKING! The Only Republican Mayoral Candidate Fernando Mateo Calls for the REMOVAL of CITIBIKE STREET DOCKS to BRING BACK PARKING and MAKE ROOM for OUTDOOR DINING REPAY NYC YELLOW TAXI’S & REBOOT ENTIRE INDUSTRY GOP Mayoral Favorite Fernando Mateo Calls for Bold Prescriptions to Fix the Broken Taxi System including Charging Ride Share their Fair Share Action Plan to Revive NYC Hospitality Industry As Mayor, I will do everything in my power to keep restaurants, bars, hotels open for business by providing: 1. rent relief, 2. tax debt relief, 3. payroll assistance, 4. protection from evictions, 5. reduced assessments, and 6. a robust vaccine and COVID testing strategy to support a legal fight against closures and shutdowns by detached bureaucrats.” NYS Must Cancel New Taxes & Cut Red Tape to Create Value Keep JetBlue in NYC Pre-pandemic, the tourism industry brought 65 million visitors to NYC. Those tourists generated $44 billion in business for restaurants, hotels, sports, and entertainment industries. These people and the revenues they contribute to New York City would never get here without companies like JetBlue. While COVID set NY back, Mateo is urging that we use lessons learned to set NY up for the biggest comeback ever! He is urging action on retaining and growing the business community in New York City by making reasonable accommodations to incentivize them stay home in the Big Apple.[3] |
