As your Assemblyman and a life long resident of our community, I’ve always taken
pride in the fact that I represent one of the finest areas in our
state. Ensuring that our community continues to grow and prosper,
I’ve always made bringing our tax dollars back to our community
one of my top priorities each year. The fundamental idea behind
this strategy is to make sure that we receive our fair share of
funds for our local schools, senior centers and community
groups.
In this report, I’ve included a map of our part of
Brooklyn that pinpoints where important funding for community
programs and services have gone to improve the way we live.
These funds have been used by local groups and schools to enrich
the lives of the children, families and the elderly of our
community.
Over the years, I’ve worked closely with past and present
elected officials on the city, state and federal level. Through
our cooperative effort we’ve been able to make a difference on
the quality of life issues that affect us all. Whether it is
getting funds for senior citizen centers, grants for local
schools, funding for community organizations for after school,
cultural and social services, or assisting those who need help,
I’m glad that I’ve been instrumental in bringing
the resources of government back to our neighborhoods.
