So I ask you….
WHO IS IN CHARGE IN ALBANY? WHO?
When did we hand over power and control of the taxpayers money to the unions? Did I miss the inauguration of a new dictator or the appointment of a new policy adviser? I didn’t think so, but what we see here is the real power and control in Albany and every town, city, village and county in this state. The real power is controlling the politicians like a bunch of hand puppets. Every union head has more power than all the people combined
Did you vote for this? I didn’t but we have to get back control and the only way to do it is to elect people that are not puppets. This is another election year, watch who endorses your candidate, if they have all the union endorsements the vote against them. If you want to lower taxes and the stop the ever rising and excessive taxes in this state, vote for someone different, vote for a citizen legislator or continue to lose your rights.
WNYC – News – Union Foes Killing Property Tax Cap In State Legislature
NEW YORK, NY June 11, 2008 —A proposed property tax cap supported by Governor Paterson and most New Yorkers appears to be dead. WNYC’s Marc Garber reports.
REPORTER: Nassau County executive Tom Ssuozzi, who headed Paterson’s committee on the cap, says that after years of rising taxes, the time for a cap is now. But neither Senate Republican leader Joe Bruno nor Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver supports Paterson’s proposal.
That, and a lobbying push by powerful labor unions and New York’s teachers’ union to try to kill the proposed limit on the growth of local property taxes, make it unlikely that it will even reach the floor of the legislature this session. They say the measure would hurt schools despite record state aid increases. For WNYC, I’m Marc Garber.
