Quick questions with Sam Pirozzolo, our local Assemblyman! - Status Island

We're here on Victory Boulevard outside Island Culture and I bumped into Sam is working hard over here campaigning. Hi Sam, how are you? >> You want to do an interview? >> yeah, sure. Let me put your microphone on. >> Sure, sure. >> Good morning everyone. How are you doing today? >> So the first question is some people are saying let's vote for the Democrats it's not so bad and they might bring us a little bit more funding. What do you say about the crime situation in New York City? >> So the crime situation is a problem. It's the Democrats who have created the crime situation by letting repeat offenders out of jail. Whether it's a stabbing, a shooting, a hate crime, a mugging, whatever it is, they go to jail, they get out of jail and those are laws that have been changed and passed by Democrats. So if you think it's not so bad, it's certainly not getting any better. You can't continue to go the same way you're going. You have to change. I'm a Republican. I'm going to win this race. I would appreciate your continued support because we have to make things better. You cannot send another Democrat home. It's crazy. >> Let me ask you about the buses. What are the plans that you're working on for express bus from from Willowbrook area Bradley to Borough Park? >> It's a good question. In addition to the other buses that I helped provide through the budget, thank you. You're welcome. >> You the school bus. You approve it every year. >> whatever else it is. I know that David Carr, Councilman Carr, the minority leader has been working on seeing if we can get a bus that goes to Borough Park. He has my full support whenever that happens, whatever the time and need is, I will be there to support you like I'm asking you to be here to support me. >> That would be amazing. Let me ask you about the turnout. How's the turnout? >> So I think the turnout is pretty good but right now we have a little bit of a problem. It seems that people who are not voting for me are outpacing the people who do vote for me. So whether you're a Republican, a Democrat or independent, I need you to come out and vote for Sam Pirozzolo and I'd also ask you to consider going right down the entire slate. We have some great judicial candidates that, you know, when you have to go appear before a judge, do you want to appear for someone who's endorsed by the Republican Party or do you want to appear for someone who's been endorsed by the >> So is your recommendation the vote the row be Republican, everything down. >> That would be my recommendation, 100%. >> And if he says it, he's the best. >> What's up, my brother? >> What's going on? How are you? >> He's the best. >> Yeah, give him the mic. Give him the mic. What's your name? >> Mark Weiss. Sam always has our back in the neighborhood, the synagogues, Hatzerl, and everything. So, we have to stick with the people that we know and most important in this world today. >> Yeah, like I know every time people ask me, "Could you call Sam for me?" I tell them they call him I tell them call him the same way. Right? Anybody could call him. >> at 7:00 in the morning, and he will pick up and do. Everyone else says, "Call me." And go find them. This man picks up and he does. So, God bless >> true. >> That's it. >> Thank you, Mark. >> All right, brother. >> Thank you. >> All the best. >> All right. Let me take his microphone back. >> [laughter] >> All right. >> Anything else you want to ask? >> Um I think that's it. I'm good. I'm going to vote Sam for Assembly. All
