Why Carl Heastie ignores what his voters want on crime and charter schools
|
[NYPOST] One of the reasons people are cynical about politics is because their elected representatives show more allegiance to their personal interests and lobbyists than their own constituents.
Yet their constituents keep voting them in. Funny, that.
Too many politicians are like an abusive partner who swears it’ll be different this time if we just give him or her one more chance.
It’s abundantly clear what the citizens in New York state Assemblyman Carl Heastie’s district have advocated for, but Heastie’s window into the desires of the people he represents has been replaced with a mirror.
In a McLaughlin & Associates poll commissioned by The Post within Heastie’s northern Bronx district, out of the 400 likely voters surveyed last week, 62% said they support charters, and 68% indicated an interest in increasing the number of charter schools.
Many of the poll respondents also stated that crime is the top issue in their community, and 64% approve of requiring anyone committing a crime with a gun to be held without bail.
