3rd ave has a large number of empty stores – this does not look good for a neighborhood – in the span of 4 blocks we noticed 1 block almost devoid of life – empty stores stood out like tombstones. Will a BID fill these stores? 5th ave spent $5 million and counting and they have almost same number of empty stores. A BID is a tax that provides no benefits

We just walked along 3rd ave from 75st to 81 st. We found the streets to be spotless, the sidewalks bright and clean and no garbage flowing out of the pails or filth stains on the side walk – UNLIKE 5th ave! If 3rd ave is as clean as the pictures show, than why do we need to spend more money on “cleaning services”? 5th ave is FILTHY compared to 3rd ave and they spent $5 Million Dollars and counting! Compare to Filthy 5th ave with an expensive BID!

Over $1000 per property owner a yearStarting Budget: $560,000Starting Salaries: $250,000. It’s being said that BID opposition is propaganda – we don’t know the facts. So lets have ONLY the facts about a BID. BID board members are employees – they get a salary – ask 5th ave! A BID is a TAX – an assessment tax, meaning the government enforces collection. If you dont pay your TAXES, you will be fined and a lien be placed on your property – A TAX INDEED This Assessment TAX – once begun, can NEVER be removed A BID’s budget is NOT CAPPED – EXPENSES ALWAYS GO UP – hence a BID’s budget…
