Can anybody tell me what?s the best hotel in Paris for my honey moon? I going to married next month..

Thank you

It can only be achieved by putting in New Assembly Candidates in Office verses the status quo politicians we now have in the Assembly!

She openly said she supports the Circuit Breaker more and does not want a tax cap bill to hit the floor because she doesn’t think anyone will vote for it. Some support.

And of course a Tax Cap doesn’t lower taxes. I never said that. It has nothing to do with lowering taxes at all. It just caps increases. Thus it will help control school spending as well as local spending etc…

The best solution is a Circuit Breaker with a tax cap. Galef feigns interest in the tax cap but refuses to back it. Why not? What is wrong with capping tax increases at 3% or less?

Big Insurance, Big Pharamceuticals all felt very comfortable with the Republican Senate. That’s WHO takes over from the unions and trial lawyers if you ever get your hands on the Assembly. The average taxpayer gets zippo.

On to Washington, DC: Gingrich, DeLay et al. let BIG BUSINESS write legislation to suit their needs. Tax breaks for wealthy corporations and individuals, after selling the American public on A Contract with America. Yeah right.

Remember The K Street Project designed to give REPUBLICANS a permanent lock of DC control? That was the REAL contract. And GW Bush was happy to go along with that crowd.

So when Jiminy, The Consultant, and the rest of you REPUBLICANS want to pin it all on the Donkey…there’s PLENTY of Elephant mess to go around. Your base hears your candidates speak of cutting, downsizing, blah, blah, and they get riled at Dems, but your elected Republicans don’t do the things they say they well. Tell me: how many twons and cities run by the “cost-cutting Republicans” have cut taxes? Not many, if any.

But as long as Shelly Silver is walking the halls of Albany, you have a terrific scapegoat to pin it on.

So you blame the Democrats, starting with people like Sandy Galef, who is decent, works hard, cares, and doesn’t deserve your sideline sniping.

Silver must have stock in the airlines too. You may have read he’s been billing the taxpayers big bucks because he gets to and from Albany by taking connecting flights through Washington, DC.

Until they all get serious about taking on the unions, we can forget about any real budget fixes from Albany.

Then, as LBJ once said, you’ll have 7 Republi-clones OUTSIDE the tent p———- in, rather than what you have now: 7 Democrats inside the tent p———- out. Since there is no (nyet, nein, non) chance that the Democrats will lose the Assembly with or without Galef, Paulin, Bradley, Latimer, Pretlow, Spano and Brodsky WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU VOTE THEM OUT?????

It makes sense ONLY if you’re a member of the Republi-clone Party!

and sr, galef does support a tax cap, not sure where you get your info from. but she also correctly acknowledges that is not the only solution and it will not lower taxes, precisely what almost every sane economist in new york (including conservatives at the wall street journal) have been saying about this. the new york times labeled it as “an election year gimmick”—i don’t think that’s too far off.

this tax cap issue could ruin her. She polled her constituents and close to 90% wanted it yet she continues to claim only a Circuit breaker is the best way.

this is going to hurt her since she is not representing her voters. Not a good move. there is nothing wrong with a tax cap unless you are trying to keep the door open to radical tax increases. Tax caps help control government spending. Nothing wrong with that at all except it puts a thorn in the side of tax and spend champion Sheldon Silver.

Galef has the opportunity to slam dunk this. But sadly she won’t do what her voters want her to do.

ah, but then the facts emerge and the republicans appear to have egg on their faces.

i believe it’s been sandy galef who has been one of the most outspoken members of her conference against the albany machinations, and, if i’m not mistaken, it was galef who was one of the leading forces in the coup against silver in 2000.

galef had enough courage to stand up shelly and she supported michael bragman instead. hey, mr. edelman – how close is syracuse to nyc?

A: about as close as your statement is to reality.

galef is one of the few reformers in albany, it would be a shame to not return her for another term.

I will stick with Assemblywoman Galef who is always looking out for the best interest of her constituients.
