2nd Ward Council Candidate Aslon Goow Sr. joins RTR Radio

Goow running resurgent campaign to re-take 2nd Ward council seat

“It’s been an awful past four years,” said Tony Vancheri, who resides in the Hillcrest section. A homeowner, Vancheri disliked Akhtaruzzaman’s handling of the budget votes.

Akhtaruzzaman voted to approve tax increases three years in a row. Only this year, under pressure from the Garret Heights homeowners, did he vote against a budget that carried a 5.8-percent property tax hike.

Goow held up an Akhtaruzzaman campaign literature which promises to reduce taxes. “He is constantly voting for tax increases,” he said pointing to the apparent contradiction. He said the incumbent is promising to reduce taxes yet again after voting to increase them 3 out of the 4 years he’s been in office.

“He’s the only guy who will fight against taxes,” said Helal Uddin of Goow. He said he lives in Totowa, but owns a home in the 2nd Ward.

“I think he’s going to do better,” said Juan Sivori, a 2nd Ward resident. He said his biggest concerns were taxes and crime.   There are a lot of things to talk about with Mr. Goow in regards to his platform and his opponets plus we want his opinion on the other 5 Wards and the candidates running for them..
