It must be nice to be the wife of a Democrat politician in a blue state. Who else can reap such rewards without having to compete with anyone? New York Post: Gov. Paterson’s administration awarded a $297 million federal contract without competitive bidding or public notice to GHI, the health-care provider whose parent company...
I received an email from the Ann Marie Buerkle campaign announcing a golf tournament and a chance to golf with Ann Marie. As for upcoming opportunities, join Ann Marie next month for the “Buerkle Brigade Golf Tournament.” A number of our supporters are organizing and promoting the event on Monday, August 16th at Camillus...
Upstate New York is not a good place to be looking for a job these days. It isn’t just the sorry state of the economy making it hard to find a job, it’s New York’s anti-business Democrats and the thuggery they employ against private enterprise. Here’s the latest example, as reported by The Buffalo...
Late this morning I stopped by the Dewitt, New York campaign office of Ann Marie Buerkle. She’s a conservative running for congress against the incumbent Dan Maffei. (I’m not sure whose interests Dan Maffei represents, certainly not mine. I guess he represents Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and big government in general.) Buerkle’s staff was...
There’s nothing worse than going to the State Fair and seeing all of those purple shirts. That’s why I’m so happy to report that they may boycott the great New York State Fair! The NY State Fair has fired the union employees. Mr. LC pointed out that he hates to see anyone lose their...
One thing you can say about New York’s Governor David Paterson, he sure makes things interesting. He promised to veto 6,900 budget bill, and that’s what he’s doing. One by one. It started yesterday and he’s probably still doing it. View more news videos at: http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video. NBC New York: As the Senate sought to...
The state of New York is broke. There’s no getting around it. The state’s finances are in a shambles – there’s a huge budget gap and it needs to be closed. So, what did the idiotic democrats in the legislature do? A few of them met in a room behind closed doors and agreed...
No wonder New York can’t pass a budget. This is ridiculous. In the past month we’ve had threats of the state government shutting down due to the $10 billion budget gap. So, what were the bozos in Albany doing last month? Debating the Arizona immigration law. The Post Standard published an article about Republican...
They needed a study for this? Duh! The New York Times: The American Journal of Public Health released a study this afternoon finding that when the price of soda goes up, consumption goes down. From the news release: … a significant increase in the price of regular soft drinks can change buying habits. Sales...
It’s July and there’s still not state budget. Albany makes Washington look almost responsible. While I don’t believe the state really will shut down next week, nothing it is out of the question these days. Wouldn’t that be quite the little crisis for the progressives to exploit? WCBSTV.com: Chaos and anarchy. That’s what New...
Here’s a little bit of good news. Well, I suppose it’s bad news that the PC crowd got as far as they did with this bill. But at least it was defeated, even if by only one vote. NYCF: On June 8, 2010, by the narrowest of margins (12-11), the New York State Senate...
I’m not exactly sure when Ann Marie Buerkle opened her Dewitt, NY office, but I think it happened when Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY) was home for his long Memorial Day break. I stopped by this afternoon, but it’s Sunday and nobody was there. It’s kind of funny, I wonder if he noticed it while...
First of all, they invited New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg to speak at the convention. Couldn’t they have found someone to fill his slot that’s, say, a registered Republican, or at least a conservative? Sheesh! The party chairman, Ed Cox, was supporting Steve Levy, a Democrat who switched parties in the hopes of running...
What do we expect? The unions won’t make concessions. We have to pay those salaries, pensions and benefits somehow. Not that this will come close, it’s just one of many creative ways the geniuses in Albany are coming up with to close the budget gap. WCBSTV: New York’s 9 million drivers are furious because...
