These enlightened leaders we elected up there are really quick when it comes to passing the buck to someone else to figure out. This bill has to be a record in alacrity. Let the locals try to cut and consolidate so that Albany can at the end deliver the real nut shot of higher State taxes to make up for the local savings. For now, it’s somebody else’s problem and they can get back to their roadie girlfriends, the noon martinis and to cashing the lobbyists’ checks.
BAD BILL. Let’s give 10% of New Yorkers the right to petition to get rid of County and State government in a referendum – NOW you’re talking!!!
