City Council candidate Anthony Giordano
(Ballot lines: Green)
1) What is your No. 1 priority, if elected?
To vote for the new police accountability proposal. I'm 100 percent behind voting for the new proposal
submitted (for a Police Accountability Board by Rochester Alliance of Communities Transforming
Society, or Roc/ACTS). The makeup should be less from the police, the mayor and City Council, and more
from city of Rochester residents, neighbors, neighborhoods. ... The more independent the board can be,
the better. ... I'm not against police officers, but police officers must act appropriately when they go out
on a call.
2) What is the greatest strength and, conversely, the greatest weakness of the City Council?
Certainly, City Council would be 100 percent stronger if I was elected this November. I can tell you that.
And the weakness is probably not having me on City Council, because I have ideas and things that I
would like to see happen.
They work well with other levels of government. But the fairness and the level that they actually talk
with people, the constituent type of service, is just not a primary thing. (Instead) it's going ahead and
doing their own thing, which is a major problem for me. As far as constituent service, the voters need to
look at me as a Louise Slaughter on city council, if you want an example.
3) What have you learned about this community during the campaign, and how will that affect your
service?
We need a change. There are things that could be done better and things that will benefit the entire
community, the neighbors and the neighborhoods. A lot has been focused on downtown. We need to
refocus back on the neighborhoods. The city used to call a public forum for the neighbors to come and
say, "This is what we want." Now it's flipped. When they call a neighborhood meeting, the city is telling
neighbors, "This is what we want." We need to have more control.
