Gounardes is Pushing for 421-a. This Was Done Away With For a Reason!
Senator Andrew Gounardes linked to an article because he wants 421-a. YIKES! (This is the article)
In 2022, Albany legislatures did not want 421-a so they let it expire.
Andrew Gounardes was asked in 2022 if he supported 421-a. He responded that he supported ending the widespread abuse. (See here)
Senator Gounardes has done nothing change the legislation to make 431-a “meaningful.” It’s still the same old 421-a that spurs corruption!
Gounardes district was changed drastically (one paper reported that it was by 80%) and there is some interesting things happening in this district.
Just in case you aren’t aware, 421-a gives developers a property tax abatement for a number of years (10+) That is a gift to developers!
Gounardes hasn’t done anything about fair property taxes, but he wants developers to not pay – we need a new leader. Someone who doesn’t think that developers need to keep getting freebies from the government!
The woman who wrote the article that Gounardes linked to is the director of Fifth Avenue Committee. *This is important.
