Candidates for Office Face Tough Questions from Co-ops and Condos
On Thursday, May 12, 2022, candidates for the New York State Assembly and Senate attended a forum sponsored by the Association of Riverdale Cooperatives & Condominiums (ARC). They were each asked to respond to a number of questions raised by the ARC Board and also by members of the audience.
The questions raised by ARC reflected what we believe to be the most pressing issues that our elected representatives must address in behalf of our community. On May 12th it was clear from their responses that the candidates were either clear, sharp and on target in their support of co-ops and condos; or, somewhat muddled in their perception of the issues and unclear as to where they actually stood; or, were at least somewhat opposed to outright support of the issues facing condo owners and co-op resident shareholders.
As the campaigns continue many of us will have the opportunity to meet and speak with not only the candidates for public office, but also our sitting elected officials.
