Awarding a franchise to operate Belmont, Saratoga and Aqueduct race tracks; reducing the cost of Medicaid; making the Workers Compensation system work better.

2. What is your opinion regarding the formation of an independent redistricting commission?

I do not agree with the proposal to form an independent redistricting commission.

3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?

14 years experience in the Legislature has given me great knowledge of the workings of this body. The seniority I've built up benefits Mount Vernon and Yonkers which I represent.
