Carrie Solages: 3rd legislative district Issues

Carrie Solages: 3rd legislative district Issues Carrié Solages: 3rd Legislative District Issues CARRIÉ SOLAGES STANDS FOR ‘COMMON SENSE’ REFORM: · Carrié is a local attorney, a lifelong resident of the 3rd legislative district, raised in Elmont, with deep ties to our community. ·  Carrié is running for Legislature because he believes Nassau is headed in the wrong direction, and we need to put the County back on track. ·  Carrié feels his opponent has raised taxes by more than 60million dollars in the last 2 years, voted himself a pay raise during the worst economic time of our lifetime, asked taxpayers to pay for a new Nassau Coliseum and spent more than 2 million of tax payer dollars doing it.  Carrié believes it doesn’t make sense to shift the tax burden to schools. While Nassau republicans claim they are trying to lower the high property taxes – they don’t! Instead of solving our property tax bill they sent millions of dollars in bills to schools that will lead to teachers layoffs, cut in classroom spending on our children and raise the county sales tax. ·  Carrié wants to actually hold the line on spending and propose a ‘real hiring freeze’. In tough times like these, I know we must cut patronage and inefficiency in government first, before cutting education or asking taxpayers to pay more.  => Read More Here

- About Carrie Solages - Carrie Solages is the second of four children born to Philippe and Micheline Solages, an immigrant couple who came to New York from Haiti in search of political and economic stability, risking their lives to create a better life for their family.  Carrie graduated with academic honors at the top of his class from Carey High Schol in Franklin Square. He then attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. from 1997 to 2001.  Carrie recalls his greatest accomplishment during his time at Georgetown coming only two days shy of his graduation in 2001. After almost four years of organizing and appealing to the administration, Carrie learned that his efforts to receive funding from alumni were finally a success and the University thereby cultivated an interdisciplinary program in African American Studies.  He went on to attend Boston College Law School. While there he focused on Constitutional law, Civil Rights Law and First Amendment law. Selected by Harvard Law School and Boston College for a joint program in legal historical studies, Carrie produced research cataloged by both institutions. Simultaneously, the ambitious law student worked as a legal intern at Catholic Charities of Boston.  Carrie returned to New York after law school and served as an Assistant District Attorney in Bronx County. In 2006, Carrie began working with the Metropolitan Black Bar Association (MBBA) and currently serves as Vice President of the organization.  That year Carrie also joined the family law firm of Solages & Solages, P.C. In 2007, Carrie was appointed to serve as Commissioner for the Commission on Human Rights of Nassau County by County Executive Tom Suozzi.
