Throw the critics out! People want a tax break…you conservatives want to destroy government, hiding behind tax relief. When given a chance to back a real plan, you show your true colors. You Oppose the tax cut plan because it didn’t come from the angry right-wing. All you want to do is THROW THE BUMS OUT..meaning you want to get rid of Democrats, beacuse you want Republicans in.

Won’t happen – this state is not Mississippi or Utah. The majority, which elects Democrats, wants progressive policies.

Ball is endorsed by the taxpayer groups because he supports the 3-legged stool approach: A tax cap, a circuit breaker, and unfunded mandate reform.

This is no surprise, it was just on the lohudblogs earlier that Ball supports the circuit breaker.

However, as Tom Suozzi, a circuit breaker without the cap is useless.

From the Daily News, here are the votes opposing the measure…

“UPDATE: The no votes were:
Amedore, Bacalles, Barclay, Boyle, Burling, Cole, Conte, Crouch, Errigo, Finch, Fitzpatrick, Giglio, Hawley, Hayes, Kolb, Lopez, Morelle, Oaks, O’Mara, Quinn, Reilich, Schimminger, Tedisco, Tobacco.

Notice whose name isn’t on that list- Greg Ball. Geez, but wasn’t he on the Tax Cap Express? Maybe he likes both?

It is time to vote against the assembly members who voted for the Circuit Breaker. This will not cap our taxes. A Property Tax Cap would have limited the amount we would pay in our taxes.
