"The comptroller has massive powers to deliver for working New Yorkers: Invest $20 billion to build/preserve homes for working New Yorkers and get out of bad investments: ICE-enabler Palantir, fossil fuels, and foreign bonds; End the "DiNapoli Tax" that has cost New Yorkers $59.1 billion in higher property taxes while DiNapoli made underperforming Wall Street bankers millionaires; Take on the Trump administration through investment, contract and audit powers."
"Because if you are sitting on power and money and not using those things for working New Yorkers without those things, after 20 years, you need to go. I've spent my career taking on our most entrenched challenges, and I want to bring that experience, rebuilding the World Trade Center, building solar farms, and running the nation's largest affordable housing nonprofit to an office that can address our biggest challenges and keep Trump in check."
"Affordability. New Yorkers can't afford their rent, groceries, or energy bills. The Comptroller has enormous power to change that, and has been sitting on it for two decades. I will fire the 664 Wall Street bankers that have cost taxpayers $59.1 billion, invest $20 billion in housing - the largest investment in the country - and automatically send back the $20 billion sitting in unclaimed funds that belongs to New Yorkers."
The campaign centers on affordability for New Yorkers, including rent, groceries, and energy bills. The comptroller role is described as having major authority over taxpayer funds, independent fiscal oversight, pension management, and investment and audit powers. The platform proposes investing $20 billion to build or preserve homes for working New Yorkers while removing money from bad investments. It also calls for ending the “DiNapoli Tax,” which is said to have increased property taxes by $59.1 billion while benefiting Wall Street bankers. The plan includes using investment, contract, and audit powers to take on the Trump administration and to automatically return $20 billion in unclaimed funds to New Yorkers.
