We can save a lot of dough by getting rid of the smoking inspectors.

Another way the city could save money is by no longer arresting people for nonviolent marijuana violations.

I have to defend the late-night ferry service. It only comes once and hour and they already use the smaller, more cost-efficient boats. On top of it all, those boats are usually pretty packed. The service is obviously well-utilized whatever the hour and I think they would have to replace that one boat with an awful lot of buses.

> Establish a Progressive Commuter Tax I'd support it; infrastructure isn't free. Also, there are some unpatriotic upper-income "residents" who spend the work week in the city but maintain a legal residence elsewhere to avoid NYC income taxes. A commuter tax could help to end this loss of revenue.
