Ballotpedia survey responses

Mark Glogowsi participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on September 7, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Mark Glogowsi's responses follow below.[5]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
“ | I would: 1) Work to end state income tax and real estate taxes (Income tax is unconstitutional and real estate taxes deny property owners the security that property ownership is supposed to provide) 2) End state grants to businesses (I consider such to be acts of tyranny) 3) Eliminate laws that establish victimless crimes. (Victimless crimes are often prejudicially enforced; a a cursory look at the drug law enforcement will confirm that fact.[6][7] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
“ | I am concerned about Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs). They are dictatorial organizations run by politically appointed individuals with the power to eliminate the rulings of town boards. I am concerned about the state's flagrant violations of the 2ed amendment and will work to reverse those infringements. . I am concerned about the enormous regulatory and reporting burden NYS businesses are placed under and will work to reduce and eliminate government's involvement in business activities.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[7]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Mark Glogowsi answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
“ | Thomas Paine. He wrote "Common Sense". Something that seems lacking in today's governments[7] | ” |
“ | One book I highly recommend (however poorly edited) is the one that I wrote: "The Political Primer: Fundamentals of Politics." I also recommend "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, and "The Political Teachings of Jesus" by Tod Lindberg.[7] | ” |
“ | Honesty and ethics.[7] | ” |
“ | I am determined and steadfast, yet I am willing to listen to my opponents and I will change my goals provided the change is consistent with my principles (You have the right to live your life as you wish as long as you do no harm to another. And as long as people are not doing harm to another, people should be empowered and not limited, confined, and dictated to by government.[7] | ” |
“ | To know the condition of their constituents, work to empower them so they can better help themselves and their neighbors. We need to eliminate the laws that give government the ability to dictate what people can and cannot do, especially when those dictates are only intended to preserve the state created monopolies. Citing just one of many such situations, a long tradition of supporting a local fire station by raffling off an automobile was determined to be illegal. As a result a festival that was held annually for decades was canceled and an enormous burden was placed on taxpayers.[7] | ” |
“ | I would like to leave a legacy of awareness of one's freedoms and liberties. As part of that legacy I would like to see the elimination of the income tax (state and federal), elimination of the real estate tax (at every level), and the development of a respect for people's right to protect themselves and their families and their neighbors when necessary.[7] | ” |
“ | I remember bits and peaces of the Korean war from when I was in grade school.[7] | ” |
“ | I mowed lawns and delivered newspapers from about the age of 9 until about age 14.[7] | ” |
“ | It is beneficial to some extent for a legislator to have had previous experience, but that should never be a requirement. Having previous experience is always beneficial regardless of the job. But, if it were a requirement for every job, no one would ever have a new job. For legislators, however, it would be more beneficial if they had experience as an entrepreneur or as a business owner. Too many are legislators enter business for the first time after they have served their term in office, sadly only to find out that they had created undesired barriers to starting and running a business.[7] | ” |
“ | The greatest challenge to society in the future will be the rapid pace of technology developments. Communication and transportation will undergo some major changes. Right behind that, or maybe even right in front of those changes, will be restraints on people's freedoms and liberties. People and businesses today are already being increasingly dictated to by the state.[7] | ” |
“ | The ideal relationship between the legislators and the governor is one where the governor has no direct input to the Legislation that is passed. Today the New York State Governor has become dictatorial in his stance and is directly involved in legislation. He is currently not only able to call emergency sessions of the legislation, he is able to cast the votes of absent legislators! This latter practice of the governor casting votes in the legislature has to end.[7] | ” |
“ | Friendly, courteous relationship should always exist between legislators and communications should always be cordial and considerate. But that is where the relationships should end because politics is about building a structure for society that is based on the individual legislator's Worldview. That is why the legislator was elected. The interactions should not be a tit-for-tat give-and-take process to see how much 'bacon' the legislators can bring home.[7] | ” |
“ | Redistricting should be done where, when ever possible, entire elections districts are included in the larger election districts. It is irrational to have one town in a county eliminated from an assembly district only to have four of 28 towns in a second county included in the district. It is illogical for one county to be split into pieces (as Herkimer County, NY is) only to have one of those districts meander for more than a hundred miles through six or seven other counties, some of which are also split.[7] | ” |
“ | The late Assemblyman Bill Nojay[7] | ” |
“ | No[7] | ” |
“ | I have heard many stories about businesses that have been put out of business because of government dictates, taxes, and zoning code changes. I have heard stories from people who have been made homeless because of the inability to pay taxes and had coffee with elderly individuals who indicated they were afraid to spend money on simple upkeep for fear that, on their limited income, if their property assessments went up they would no longer be able to stay in their homes. These stories underscore the fact that real estate taxes deny everyone (both individuals and businesses) the security that property ownership is supposed to provide. The truth of the matter is, governments treat properties owned by businesses and by individuals as a source of revenue to tap into whenever they need it. And while the NYS legislature has attempted to reduce real estate taxes with the tax cap and some planned kickbacks, there is no effort being made to completely eliminate real estate tax.[7] | ” |
