“The amount of outrageous leftist bills that got passed this year is simply staggering- The Dream Act, driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, full term abortion! That’s not to mention the unionization of farm workers, a purely socialist policy. It’s disgusting how far these socialists will go to destroy our values and our way of life. None of these things are helping lower our property taxes, helping people open businesses or help our children with their crippling college debt. All they are doing are oppressing the rest of NY with a deeply downstate socialist agenda while sticking all of us upstate with the bill. I’ll say it again; we need to split New York state. Let them live their lives down in Manhattan and Brooklyn, let us live ours up here.”
