Good night, New York.

Welcome to the third and final

Candidates debate

New York City.

And this time we give the

Welcome our candidates

Mayor Nick Hostetler Jack and Valliant.

- Hey! How much?

- Glass manual?

Yes.

Once achieved muscular arms.

Where do you think, stroking his ego?

A big ass is good but

big arms, no.

Come on, let me go. What the f***?

- A**hole!

- I did not do it on purpose.

- Let me go.

- God!

It is destroying my car before

to even start driving it.

- I apologize.

- Where do we go?

Do not worry about that, by the way.

- What do you think I'm doing?

- Wow!

Where did you get this padding, Gaza?

In administration

Valliant we focus

on two fundamental principles:

share responsibilities

and sacrifices.

For those who are lucky

receive more than $ 200,000 a year

ask to pay more taxes,

for those who are not,

lower tax contribution.

He is in charge and we

driving forwards

to balance the budget

and protect people.

Mayor.

I think my opponent come here ridiculous

talk tax obligations,

when in fact it is known

that if there were no taxes

would not like to run

for city council.

This comes from a man whose political

leaves us with a deficit

of 1 billion.

No, that comes from hands

Mayor took.

New Home Sales

York for the needy,

sale of public housing

shareholders of Wall Street.

I think residents

Bolton Village rather

tax increase

eviction notice.

I say this to you,

no matter where the New Yorker lives

nobody wants to raise taxes. / i

Neither do I.

But I think it's time to tell the truth

in the Town of Bolton agreement.

It is true that we have a

surplus of $ 3 billion.

We can use this to

job creation

We use this to relieve

taxes of the population,

that's the truth.

No, this is not the truth. Or

even close to the truth.

You did a beautiful business

Soltsteen with Donovan

plug a hole in your pocket.

To remove it from its deficit

wrong policy created.

The truth that is

it still lies

for the good people of the

city, about their intentions.

Donovan Soltsteen

Bolton bought the Village

property.

bought the Villa to Bolton go

in the field of skyscrapers. / i

It's that simple.

While I believe that no one sand.

In 50 years of history Soltsteen Donovan

Never buy a property

with the aim of

residential use, I doubt start now.

I do not know how I can

be clear to you,

Bolton town residents.

Just entered this

Agreement for a reason.

Because I want the best for you.

There will be a sunrise

People in Bolton Soltsteen Donovan

if they are out of the line,

If you do not meet promises

then I will kill

them. That I promise you.

Unfortunately, it is not

and keeps his promises.

The fact is, the deficit is gone.

There is another way to solve it.

- Name one.

- In addition to the destruction.

I say what I

would, in the first place,

something that would make my opponent

clearly feels

which is not favorable for

he is seeking advice

they are better this crucial issue.
