Text Quotes
It always takes a scandal to bring about reform  (Sal Albanese Quotes) During my eleven years as a New York City public school teacher, I saw firsthand the impact that poverty has on the classroom. In low-income neighborhoods like Sunset Park, where I taught, students as young as five years old enter school affected by the stresses often created by poverty: domestic violence, drug abuse, gang activity  (Sal Albanese Quotes) I’m not interested in being Don Quixote. I’m interested in running the City of New York.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) I firmly believe that we can protect taxpayer dollars, bus drivers’ jobs, and the safety of our students. We just need a mayor who actually cares about all three.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) It’s the story of New York. Storefronts change and languages change, but at the end of the day, people come here to find opportunity like my family did.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) If the City Council wants to hold the police accountable, it has the subpoena power and oversight responsibility to do so. They don’t have the courage to do it.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) I’d love to have our trains, our subway cars and our taxis built right here in New York City. You can create 40,000 living wage jobs... the city’s contracting power is huge.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) When I talk about the city, I talk about a city that elevates people, which is the strength of New York. We always had the ability to do that. We had the services to do that: good schools, living-wage jobs. We’re moving away from that toward a two-tiered system: a small group of very wealthy people and the rest of the city, poor and working poor.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) The world’s greatest city - New York City - deserves a government that works for all New Yorkers. That starts with a mayor who is independent from party bosses and special interests, who isn’t afraid to be honest with the people, and who is focused on the issues New Yorkers care about most.  (Sal Albanese Quotes) It’s an intolerable abuse of power to have employees who are supposed to be advancing the public interest actually working on political campaigns  (Sal Albanese Quotes) By regulating marijuana, we can put black market drug dealers out of business and eliminate the rebellious allure that attracts young people  (Sal Albanese Quotes) Even the best parents have to spend so much time making ends meet that they cannot help their kids with homework or afford the extra tutoring that wealthier students enjoy. To address these unjust disparities, we need an early education revolution  (Sal Albanese Quotes) I can’t solve the poverty problem, but there are things you can do to mitigate its effects on kids  (Sal Albanese Quotes)
