Liz Glass on NY Budget Deficit

New York’s Insane Multi-Billion Dollar Budget Deficit

June 21, 2020 — Hi, I’m Elizabeth Glass, a Democratic candidate for NY Senate in Manhattan’s District 27.

Wonderful volunteers and I have been hitting the streets of the district, which includes Chelsea, Greenwich Village, East Village, Stuy Town, Peter Cooper Village, Hell’s Kitchen, Times Square, Columbus Circle, Midtown East, UWS. We love hearing from New Yorkers and the issues THEY care about. 

The Democratic primary is June 23, with early voting taking place now. To find your polling site, please visit https://nyc.pollsitelocator.com/search 

Our constitutional freedoms are under threat in New York State. If you share our concerns and you have friends or family or colleagues who live in Manhattan’s district 27, please share this message with them, and ask them to share the message with their local networks, and so on. This campaign is being censored on social media, so please spread the word. 

Today I want to talk to you about New York State’s Budget Deficit:

Prior to the COVID crisis, New York had a six to eight billion dollar budget deficit. Within two months of the lockdown, that number doubled.

Also prior to the COVID crisis, my opponent sponsored 905 bills for 2020 legislative session; many of these bills were frivolous and wasteful. The problem with Democrats like my opponent is their excessive spending. I believe we as a society must help those who truly need it – disenfranchised people of color, people with disabilities, the homeless, our seniors – but there is far too much unnecessary spending in Albany. 

My opponent treats taxpayers like a sugar daddy with an Am Ex Black card. 

For example, Look at this trash can…(in Washington Square Park) $100,000 on these 68 designer garbage cans at a cost of $1500 each when the same non-designer trashcans cost $718.

To be fair, this is a minor example, but such spending is indicative of questionable budgetary policies. 

Currently, it is impossible to analyze our state’s fiscal situation simply because the numbers are not there: Our state reps do not provide budgetary information written in a clear, understandable, and transparent way. This is a red flag in our state government, and an issue I will raise in Albany when I’m elected. Taxpayers hard-earned money should not be squandered by leaders who embrace excessiveness as a badge of honor. 

Thank you for tuning in. If you value transparency in government, as well as our constitutional freedoms: please invest in this campaign, or volunteer at glassforsenate.com . The time is now. Together – we the people – can take back our government because WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER! And every one of us is essential. 

My Name is Liz Glass a democratic candidate for NY Senate in Manhattan’s district 27. Thank you. 

Brad Hoylman’s Mother-in-law’s Work is Funded by Bill Gates

June 19, 2020 — New York State Senator Brad Hoylman is poised to force every New Yorker to inject the COVID-19 vaccine that Bill Gates is promoting, funding, and likely to profit from. Hoylman’s mother-in-law, Dr. Ellen V. Sigal, is on the board of Parker Institute which has partnered with Inovio, a company receiving funding from Gates for INOVIO’s DNA COVID-19 vaccine. Sigal also receives funding from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through the Cancer Moonshot program of which Sigal is a Vice President. Gates donates to many other programs that Dr. Sigal is involved with or is the chair of, including FDA’s Reagan-Udall Foundation, Duke University, C-Path, and Milken Institute of Public Health.

As I have previously reported, Dr. Sigal is a friend and colleague of Dr. Doug Lowy who co-invented Merck’s HPV vaccine Gardasil. Sigal’s son-in-law Senator Brad Hoylman is currently sponsoring a bill in Albany that would force every child in New York to inject Gardasil to attend public school. Hoylman also supports a separate bill that would allow 9-year-olds to be injected with Gardasil in school without parental knowledge or consent.

Bill Gates is a big supporter of the HPV vaccine.

The Gates Foundation supports HPV vaccine research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) working with Dr. Lowy to study the effectiveness of the vaccine via the Cancer Moonshot program which, again, Brad Hoylman’s mother-in-law Ellen Sigal sits on the board as Vice President.

None of this funding nexus is private information. It is all readily available at the websites of each of these institutions. Brad Hoylman is a corporatist in progressive clothing. He needs to be removed from Albany as his conflicts of interest clearly make it impossible for him to represent the best interests of the people of New York.

Does Brad Hoylman Want to End In-Person Education?

“Reimagine” Your Children Never Going to School Again

June 9, 2020 — Brad Hoylman seems to be completely fine with “the new normal” of children learning remotely and not attending in-person education in school buildings. However the people of New York don’t seem to be ok with this. Over 9,000 New Yorkers have joined a Facebook group called NY Parents & Teachers Against Distance Learning.

Governor Cuomo is planning the end to in-person education with Bill Gates.

“No school in New York State is going to be open in the Fall, ” said Liz Glass broadcasting on her social media platforms. Glass is a candidate for New York Senate in district 27 running against Brad Hoylman. Glass references the Cuomo and Gates plan called “Reimagine Education.” She states her opponent Hoylman is in agreement with it. I asked Glass how she knows Hoylman is in support of expanding remote learning.

“Everyone should call him and ask him!” responded Glass. That’s a good idea!

CALL HOYLMAN HERE – Phone: (212) 633-8052 (leave message)

EMAIL HOYLMAN HERE – hoylman@nysenate.gov

cc: thefedupdemocrat@gmail.com (if you are comfortable doing so, please cc me. I will not share or publish any information, I just want to get a count on how many emails went to Hoylman)

Call and ask Hoylman where he stands on expanding remote learning in NYC. Call and ask him if NYC schools will be opening in the Fall. Call and ask him what he is doing to advocate for you and your kids, and email all of that to him as well.

Liz Glass is 100% against the plan to “reimagine” education at a distance and, even more so, is 100% against placing The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in charge of what our educational system will look like. Gates failed miserably with common core as a national curriculum in America. Why are we trusting an organization who has already failed our country to “reimagine” what school will fundamentally be?

Governor Cuomo has announced a panel of educational experts to “reimagine” education which will be interacting with members of The Gates Foundation. The COVID Lockdown served as a trial run for remote distant learning, and it appears the goal this September will be to do a more structured “launch” of remote distant learning.

Cuomo can force New York State to do this because Brad Hoylman (and many others in Albany) voted YES to giving Cuomo emergency powers in Senate bill S7919 that lasts until April of 2021. Cuomo just has to say remote learning is still necessary due to the “public health emergency” – whether that is true or not. This law allows him to do as he pleases like a King. Hoylman willingly and gratefully gave away all of his power to the Governor.

With New York State financially broke, it is highly likely discussions of teacher lay-offs will be on the table across the state this summer. Bill Gates is certain to swoop in and “save the day” with millions in funding conditioned on the implementation of more remote technological “solutions” for New York. This may save some teachers and staff in the short run, but ultimately it will lead to the destruction of the teaching profession, teacher unions, and ultimately the middle class status most teachers gain from their employment.

The head of the NYC Teacher’s Union, Mike Mulgrew, is already on record saying we are going to have to implement a “hybrid instructional model of sometimes in person and sometimes remote.” According to Liz Glass and her sources, we won’t even get that. We are headed to full-time remote learning this Fall and officials are only saying school may open to keep everyone calm.

Thousands of students – especially those with disabilities – are struggling immensely with remote learning. The socialization that school offers is invaluable to many students and families. Not to mention the billions of tax dollars paid every year by New Yorkers to fund the school system.

Privately and quietly I personally know Superintendents and Chancellors of school districts throughout New York are discussing all of the following:

  • Having half the students attend school each day – have ‘A’ & ‘B’ days
  • Purchasing thousands of masks for students
  • Delaying the opening of in-person school until October
  • Delaying the opening of in-person school until 2021

**Interestingly when I published this report on June 9th, the same day Chancellor of NYC schools Richard Carranza released a list of possible plans for September and he left open the possibility that school will not reopen in the Fall.

Is there a chance we may never again have in-person education in New York again?

Liz Glass Campaign Statement

(NOTE – this statement was written before the protests surrounding George Floyd’s murder began in NYC)

I am Elizabeth Glass. Mother of four, teacher, and Democratic candidate in Manhattan’s district 27. As an 11th generation New Yorker and 25 year-resident of Manhattan it pains me to say this, but our beloved city is in a bad place right now. Unlike post-911 – where everyone was pulling together – today crime and divisiveness are rampant, and everyone who had the ability to leave the city is simply gone.

New York is 6% of the US population, but 30% of all COVID-19 deaths in the US were New Yorkers. We can debate why that is the case, but the facts are clear: we need a paradigm shift in this post-coronavirus catastrophe; a dramatic change in the status quo. Business as usual just isn’t going to cut it.

I believe in a constituent-driven legislative body, and am committed to helping keep New Yorkers safe while also protecting their constitutional freedoms. Our elected officials and their corporate sponsors care about one thing and one thing only: enriching themselves at your expense. Corporations should never have precedence over the people.

Consider the new “Reimagine New York” education plan: despite the fact that our kids have zero risk of death from this disease, Governor Cuomo and the Gates Foundation want to end in-school learning, keeping our kids at home and alone, socially distant from their teachers, friends, and school community. It should be noted that social distancing is a euphemism for social isolation, which was developed 70 years ago by the CIA and deployed against enemies of the state because it is more effective at breaking people down than any form of physical torture.

Although half of Americans do not want the COVID-19 vaccine, my opponent Brad Hoylman supports forcibly vaccinating every single New Yorker. This fast-tracked, liability-free experimental product will forego standard safety studies. New Yorkers are NOT guinea pigs, and should not be treated as such. That said, I support making the vaccine readily available to those who wish to take it, and I support people making the choice with their doctors whether to receive the vaccine or not.

I am also fiercely opposed to the unconstitutional Orwellian contact tracing, involving forcibly quarantining New Yorkers in “Isolation Facilities” …even those who have no symptoms. Low-income housing, NYCHA Housing, homeless shelters, group homes, and nursing homes will be the first to be visited by contact tracers, effectively instituting medical martial law. If your home has only 1 bathroom anyone thought to be infected with the coronavirus may be removed from the home – including a child.

The Democratic Party has somehow transformed into the Bill Gates/Corporatist Party.

Manhattan’s District 27: I believe in our constitution, I believe in freedom, and I believe in representing the people, not corporations. I’m seeking your support and want to hear from you and what YOU care about. Your concerns and goals will guide my decision-making now and when I am elected.

We need honest leaders who will fight this invisible enemy that has upended our way of life. Our safety is compromised and our freedoms are under attack. We need to fight against both of these enemies. My campaign is a grassroots effort supported by fearless and bold New Yorkers who are standing up and demanding change. Our state is in crisis. We need caring, dedicated leaders who will fight for “We, the people.” My name is Elizabeth Glass, and I will fight for you.

Remember: we are stronger together, and every one of us is essential.

I’m Elizabeth Glass, and I approve this message.
