  • Greetings My Name Is Andy King and I Am Running for the New York City Council, District 12
    July 30, 2009 David Yassky 4 Pages Hello. My name is David Yassky and I am running for New York City Comptroller. For the past seven years, I have represented the vibrant and diverse neighborhoods of North Brooklyn in the City Council from Greenpoint to Park Slope. Before that, I worked for Chuck Schumer in Washington and as a budget analyst for Mayor Ed Koch - and also as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer so I know how the private sector works, too. I'm running for Comptroller because in these difficult times, we need to root out waste in every corner of the budget, to demand accountability and results for every dollar we're spending and to do everything we can to get the City economy back on track. We need a progressive fighter who will free up the money to keep police on the July 30, 2009 David Yassky 4 Pages streets and teachers in the classroom and make sure we don't close firehouses and senior centers. That’s just what I've done in the City Council. I found millions of dollars of waste at the Housing Department, I exposed it, did a hearing on it and got it canceled. I passed the False Claims Act to crack down on contractors who defraud the City. And I put the whole City budget online at www . ItsYourMoneyNYC . com because it’s not the government’s money - it’s your money and we need to make sure every penny is spent correctly. As Comptroller, I will be an aggressive watchdog over City budgets.
