AN ALARMING OCCURRENCE!! Halloween
Stepford Wife type androids have taken over many bodies in Albany! They are mindlessly repeating the same nonsensical phrase….”We don’t have the money for services !!!”…and they are expecting us to buy it.
Having screwed up for years and wallowed in cash that we turned over to them (perforce)…note the comptroller’s report that [...]
WAY TO GO senator little!! B
In an interview in an Adirondack newspaper, Sen.

NO, WE CAN ‘t WAIT, MR. MONEYBAGS…….10/26

MARC ACED IT TONIGHT….Monday, Oct. 19th 2 A.M.
Assemblyman Marc Molinaro (R) did what I have rarely seen a politician do tonight.
He hosted a forum on property tax reform-specifically the Omnibus relief and reform bill -without taking any time at all to politic for his party or himself. If you count getting political credit for [...]
