RENT STABALIZATION:
Nick would co-sponsor this bill to ensure that renters have the stability to stay in their units. Most of us do not get 25% pay raises in a single year so why should our rents go up that much?
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS:
Some seniors are close to being forced out of their homes due to property taxes. No senior over 75 should have to pay property taxes on their home over 20% of their yearly income.
REGULATE PRIVATE EQUITY :
Private equity and investment funds are backing big time developers who are taking renters and new homeowners for a ride. It is projected that 40% of housing supply in the US will be owned by corporate landlords by 20230. WE MUST STOP THIS.
REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON ALL TAX BILLS:
It is always easy for the state to raise your taxes while stifling your voice. Every new tax must have a public hearing to allow
IMPROVE HEALTHCARE CONNECTOR:
The Mass Healthcare connector for self employed and small business owners is apporhent. Premiums through the roof, cut-rate plans, and SCRAPS. I will vote for universal healthcare coverage for folks who want it. When small business owners do not have to worry about health insurance for them and their staff Main Street THRIVES.
SMALL BUSINESS CAPITAL:
Small businesses are struggling to stay open. I beleive that our state must be a leader in supporting small & family businesses. To do this every business should be ENTITLED to $10,000 of emergency loan funding at an appropriate fixed rate to use for emergencies, payroll gaps or slumping sales due to tariffs.
REGULATING AI:
AI is out of control. It is taking away entry level jobs, hurting small businesses, and is causing harm to our children. Nick will fight to put forward common sense regulations such as: Age gating, Intellectual property copyright infringement policy, and ecological solutions to prevent harm to our neighborhoods.
FUND OUR DEPARTMENTS
Similar to any profession our officers need investments in professional developement. As professionals for the public this would include: funding for target practices, de-escalation programs, new technology training, and citizen relationship programming.
FUNDING FOR SOCIAL WORKERS
Our officers are being given an impossible task. They are on the frontlines of homelessness crisises, mental health criseses, and drug overdose emergencies. Expanding our departments to include licensed clinical social workers will be crucial to supporting the work our law enforcement partners do.
STRENGTHEN Melissa's Law:
We need to ELIMINATE the 3 strikes and you're out rule for victims of rape. Nick believes 1 strike and you're out. Women should not have to fear men with previous convictions being out on the streets. If you can't do the time don't do the crime.
