The only reason I can see to vote for Liz Feld in this election is so that we can get rid of her here in Larchmont! She has been nothing but a disappointment- non-partisan ticket my __.

Bad year for elephants. While you may be registering anger from conservatives about their taxes, they’ve NEVER been happy with their taxes. They don’t like/want government.

The vast majority of “people” in Suzi’s District want Suzi, and want Democrats, unlike you handful of bloggers. She will crush Liz—- crush her good. And then you’ll whine one about people have been duped, when in fact, it’s the Republi-clones who have duped America these 8 years. TIME’S UP!

Suzi Oppenheimer is calling for cuts, not 4% caps that Liz Feld is asking for.
In Liz Feld’s term of office as Mayor of Larchmont, she increased the property taxes 9.5% the last two years, stopped sharing a Treasurer with the Town of Mamaroneck tripling the cost of treasurer to $150,000, increased paid firefighter salaries to where Larchmont is spending $400,000 more on paid firefighter salaries than the Town of Mamaroneck Fire District, and lost the entire volunteer firefighter department to the Town of Mamaroneck which protects twice the people and five times the space. Feld refused to listen to or impliment plans to consolidate the Larchmont and Marmaroneck Fire Districts saving taxpayers tax increases.
She installed a rubber crumb artificial turf field over DEP and residents objections cutting down 60 trees to do so in an environmentally sensitive area. Feld is a bully who is insensitive to anyone’s needs but her own.
I trust Suzi Oppenheimer to represent us in this important job of State Senator.

Oppenheimer is a slug. Her only real accomplsihment in the Senate has been to keep her seat warm by sitting on it.

Education Committee? They can tax us to death, both State and local by another ten trillion and they’ll accomplish nothing more than could be accomplished in a one-room schoolhouse with internet hook-up.

Suzi is up for chair of the all important education committee—She is and always has been a champion of women’s and chilren’s issues. We need Suzi’s experience in the senate! Return her to Albany and let’s get a Democratic majority and accompish our goals !

Since the Republican/ Conservatives have been in charge since 1938 I don’t see how adding another Republican senator would change much.

When the Senate majority is Democratic, Suzi Oppenheimer will be head of the Education Committee and that will help Westchester with our tax burden and schools more than a freshman tool of the current, stagnant NY Senate. You guys are just desperate cause you can’t afford to lose any more seats.

Oppenheimer is respected on both sides of the aisle, has put passing legislation ahead of ego and is genuinely a nice person (unlike Feld) who cares about her district.

All of Felds’s robo calls and mailers can’t buy the respect Suzi Oppenheimer has from her supporters.

She is a true fiscal conservative. Exactly what we need to get the state back on track. I’d rather have someone like Liz that may be more moderate on the social issues than a senator that has retired in place. Democrat or Republican. We have a choice to elect someone who will at least get something done! Lets look at the big picture here folks!

Feld is going to eat it. She is trying to run to the Left of a Democrat and that never works, even against a backbencher like Oppenheimer.

4 weeks to go until the big day. Feld will win this thing, people will see that Suzi is as useless as the Mets in September!!!

the race is definitely closer…people are not focusing
on state races.they are overwhelmed with their own
personal economic trivails..particularly in that
district..once they understand the issues and Feld’s
name identification increases.the whole race should change

Can’t be right. The whole county is in tax revolt. This race has to be closer.
