WNY residents fed up with state government
Poll finds area residents far more disgusted than other New Yorkers
When a Rochester think tank asked thousands of New Yorkers this spring how they viewed state government, it found an overwhelming number are plain mad at the ways of Albany.
But in Western New York, respondents to the poll are more than angry. They’re downright seething.
On issues like taxes, the power of public employee unions, managing debt and combating corruption, the level of disgust in Western New York far surpasses the already notable concern elsewhere across the state.

There is just so much to get into in this article and I am just so glad to see the people finally waking up to points we have been making for years.

We can start sending the message to Albany right now!

Suozzi is a career politician as is Al Coppola, what makes you think thier rhetoric is any more believeable than Spitzer or Thompson or Marc Coppola? Suozzi is as much of a bullshitter as Spitzer, except he is less successful at it…he is as slick as they come and is a downstater. I fail to see how his empty campaign promises are any more believeable than Spitzers. What does a Nassau county executive know about upstate problems any more than the former attorney general? How is one downstate political lifer any better than another?
