It’s 2 A.M. on Tuesday…and I’ve been trying to fax a certain legislator…
Don’t ask!!
Her faxes apparently are on vacation just like all of Albany (a perpetual vacation?)…even her district faxes.
It rings and rings but no connection ( again,
just like Albany)
Oh right, NYS legislator is a part time job.

WELL ISN’T THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD!!!
Apparently Albany feels the people in NYC couldn’t take a mandatory 6.9% raise in real estate taxes….which they shouldn’t have to because many pay a lot more than you may think in relation to income … and renters are especially hard pressed.

For you lazybones who are too tired to look up ‘dystopia’ -after working three jobs to pay your property taxes- I’ll tell you it’s [...]

Speculation is rife
About what will happen Wednesday when the senate –newly put back together- gets to work again….
Several assumptions may be challenged in that sentence:….
· Is the Senate actually put back together? Was Humpty Dumpty??

SENATE FINDS TIME TO VOTE DOWN….
A MEASURE BACKED BY COMPTROLLER Di NAPOLI that would have allowed local governments to borrow state money to pay their pension bills…..the NYTimes reported there was laughter in the chamber after the bill was defeated 35-27….they assume this was payback because DI Napoli had withheld their pay.
