Where is Nicole Malliotakis’ Property Tax Bill?
Before the last election, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis promised a three part bill (Parts A, B and C) for homeowners against property taxes. The Assembly has been in session for a few weeks now, so Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis should have submitted the bill by now. When I searched for her bills here – I found she hasn’t submitted ANY bills for the 2019-2020 session. See here
The search on the NY Assembly site works just fine – the only assembly members without bills are new freshman assembly members OR ones that have been sleeping like Peter Abbate and and Bill Colton AND MALLIOTAKIS.
Journalist, Paula Katinas wrote about the non-existent Malliotakis tax bill to urge readers to vote for her. Katinas often writes in favorable tone towards Malliotakis and prints press releases from the politician……even if Malliotakis hasn’t done anything to deserve an article. (See here and here)
Although Staten Island newspapers printed a press release about the tax bill, a new bill for property tax was not submitted (See here). This is what Malliotakis’ tax bill was supposed to include:
Last February, Malliotakis did speak to Mayor de Blasio about property taxes (see here), but she failed to write a tax bill to help owners. She also failed to write a tax bill to help small businesses in Bay Ridge. (See here) Why is Malliotakis playing politics with Governor Cuomo when she could write a bill and pass a law to help property owners in her district? Nicole Malliotakis knows silly petitions don’t work with Cuomo – she tried that (with Golden) on the Verrazano Bridge toll and it didn’t work!
All Assemblywoman Malliotakis seems to be doing in the new year is fear mongering over MS-13 in Long Island (not Staten Island), trolling Eric Ulrich because he didn’t support her run for mayor or taking credit for the lockbox legislation, even though she didn’t co-sponsor the bill. Malliotakis should be taking on the drug problem in Staten Island, but she is too busy playing politics.
Malliotakis won’t take questions about the bill now either. See here
Now there is talk about her running for another office. (See here) Why does she keep running for positions, when she isn’t interested in changing the law to help people?
