(How sad ! A “major”city)
Re-elect Incumbents ……. Why?
This is what New York Politics have done to us.
Over 40 years in decline and we continue to vote for the same people or their son, brother, cousin etc………
The time is now people, the time is now to rise up and take back our government from all the political hacks that have been destroying this region. This year Albany, next year Erie county.

I don’t think you can fight the political machinery in NYState. I miss the people but I’m really glad to be out of that area. Phoenix is just booming which means more of your $$$ in your pocket. It’s election year and all the candidates are talking decreases in taxes. We pay very little now and are 1.5 billion in the black,so we should get a decrease. Love it!
Santa Claus (State Senator Dale Volker) has been in East Aurora this month handing out money like it is “Free”. I realize he buys alot of votes with our tax dollars, and unfortunately the citizens think he worked hard to get it for the benefit of the community.
In reality the state legislators gave themselves $ 200 MILLION in PORK MONEY to dole out to communities all across our state which makes them look like heroes.
All part of the “incumbent protection plan.”
PORK PORK PORK !!!!!!!!!!!!
They raise our taxes to pay for it, resulting in loss of business and jobs.

“Over 40 years in decline and we continue to vote for the same people or their son, brother, cousin etc………”
So why on earth would you endorse Al Coppola. Not only is he a cousin of the the current state senator, he is a former incumbant state senator and a lifetime political insider. You have no idea what you stand for.
An insider is good when he agrees with you, bad when he doesnt. Admit it, it has nothing to do about being an insider or outsider, incumbent or challanger, its all about if they agree with the almighty Rus Thompson or not.
“An insider is good when he agrees with you, bad when he doesnt. ”
Exactly. Now you’re starting to get it.
I see, so all this talk about insiders, incumbants, politics as usuall, the machine is BS. Its all about your personal interests, not principles. I’m glad we got that straightened out.
You surely know how to twist things. You make a good liberal.
Here let me help. It’s about lower taxes, less government, exposing corruption, trying to put a stop to the endless ways government wastes your money, hoping to restore some measure of sanity to what the Brennan Center calls “the most dysfunctional legislature in the country. If that’s a personal interest or agenda, then Go Rus, Go!!
I’m not sure I’m envisioning your grasp of these relatively simple concepts in the forseeable future.
Also, not only do you offer nothing of substance by way of a solution, it seems you don’t even recognize there is a problem. That definitely makes you part of the problem. You must be a government employee, or a generational welfare recipient. Or both.
I think it’s funny that you blow right by the abysmal job report and jump right on who I am endorsing..
So let’s start the discussion on a seperate thread.
I think you can reform government from within, curb waste, end some forms of corporate welfare and lower taxes without scrapping the whole system.
Why did Buffalo (City only) add only 600 jobs in the last year? I think the answer lies in the suburbs. How many jobs did Geico add in Amherst (more than 1000), how many jobs did Moog add in East Aurora? Mittal in Hamburg, Fischer Price, M&T, that annoying ‘HUGE’ guy with the car dealership on Grand Island… I think you have to look outside the City proper and look at the Buffalo-Niagara Region as a whole to get a more accurate picture of the economic health of the region. We all know, Buffalo is not the only place where people live and work…
Buffalo may not be where people live and work, but it is (or should I say Should Be) the epicenter of the community. Suburbs spread people out and have no center to them (no, the Mall does not count). Businesses look downtown to help decide where they will create the new service based industries which are taking over the economy. People look at Baltimore, not Essex county. They look at Phoenix, not the surrounding subburbs to build a new service center (unless, of course, the local government porks tax breaks to lure the company there, thus raising taxes for everybody else…)
Having more jobs and tax payers in the city is what the region despreatly needs since the effects will dissapate to Amherst, Hamburg etc…
You cannot change this system from within, it is to corrupt and paranoid to allow any slight change to the status quo.
