Helene Sherman, Nassau Legislator, 10th Legislative District
REPUBLICAN
Sherman, 57, of Thomaston, is running on the Republican and Conservative lines. She is an attorney.
ISSUES:
- Sherman supports exploring giving owners of vacant commercial properties tax breaks to encourage occupancy, with taxes gradually rising as a business establishes itself.
- The county must look more carefully at eliminating jobs, including patronage jobs, Sherman said.
- Sherman said there is “too much duplicative government” and supports the county looking into how to “get rid of all of these incorporated villages."
