I grew up in Rochester (16) and have spent the last 23 years in New York City, and I cannot believe what a colossal jacka$$ this Golisano guy is. He can’t get elected to office, so he tries to BUY the NY State Senate.

And now he is a resident of Florida? STAY THERE! Ruin that state, you lousy Boss-Tweed wannabe!

I hope with all my heart that the voters of Queens and the Bronx will step in to restore sanity to NYS by ceremoniously ousting the utterly corrupt MontserRAT and the power-crazed Pedro Espada in a Democratic primary. MontserRAT and Espada have unceremoniously earned the right for their political careers to be OVER!

A positive achievement? A POSITIVE ACHIEVEMENT? Talk about spin!

To paraphrase Robert Frost:

SOME SAY THE STATE WILL END IN FIRES,
SOME SAY IN ICE.
FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN OF POLITICAL LIARS,
I HOLD WITH THOSE WHO FAVOR FIRES.
BUT IF IT HAD TO PERISH TWICE,
I THINK I’VE SEEN ENOUGH OF VICE
TO KNOW THAT FOR DESTRUCTION ICE
IS ALSO GREAT
AND WOULD SUFFICE.

what has gone up is the cost of pensions for uniformed
employees and teachers…it goes up as salaries go up
with no help from the legislative branch..thats the
deal that politicians have been cutting of both parties
for years to garner support…what other state lets
uniformed personell double their pensions by working
overtime…and gives the teachers cradle to grave
health insurance..its time to start cutting so that
taxpayers all over this state don’t simply pull up
stakes and go elsewhere

This comment is for ed1…....... the 9% increase is a bold face lie. Golosano and his thugs like to say that number but the truth is a man by the name of Obama has sent NY Billions in Federal assistance never seen before. These bright lights are counting stimulus funds to come up with 9%. State spending did not go up this year and that is actualy an untold historic fact in New york. But no one likes to talk about a positive achievement when you can spin falsehoods.

Hey Bloomerg are you listening? You got beat by New York’s upstate Billionaire. He doesn’t like you ignoring term limits (he said so) and he doesn’t like your tax increases. He wants you to find another way to balance your budget and/or tighten your belt. He single handidly stopped your legislation from passing hasn’t he? Battle of the Billionaires. I thought you guys had a secret rich person club pact whereby you don’t mess in eachother’s business. Guess not. Guess you got the same problems as us riffraff.

Hey Spector, why don’t you go ask Bloomberg for a comment on Golosano’s fist in his face.

A nine percent INCREASE IN SPENDING. In these perilous times, if that’s not enough of an indictment of the insanity of Democratic control, nothing is! And, too, the vote to change leadership was obviously legal, if nefarious. Case closed. Where are the courts to definitively rule with alacrity on this single, elementary issue? If it’s 31-31, let’s get logical and get these bozos back in session FOR FULL DAYS, NOT MINUTES. There are many important issues affecting the financial efficacy of the State that they easily CAN. and will, agree upon.

HERE IS WHERE GOLLISANO IS WRONG..THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT
GET BEAT..THEY WOULD HAVE HAD MONSERRAT STAYED WITH THE
REPUBLICANS..BUT HE DIDN’T..SO THE COUP FAILED..AND THAT
IS WHAT THE CHAOS IS ALL ABOUT…31-31 IS NOT A VICTORY
FOR GOLLISANO..ITS A FAILED ATTEMPT TO DELIVER CONTROL
TO THE REPUBLICANS WHICH HAS NOW RESULTED IN NO GOVERNMENT
FOR WAY TOO LONG
