<p>The legislature is yet to see a tax increase they don’t like. Republicans and Democrats in the legislature are ineffective, they are always passing bills to either increase their salaries or increase our taxes.</p>
<p>I wish Rudy would move over to NJ and fix this state.
He did such an excellent job of cleaning up NY, we could use his expertise to do the same in NJ…wishful thinking!</p>
<p>Rudy also increased the size of NYC’s payroll substantially in his 2nd term, increased the pensions for city employees (which will be a long-going problem for the city’s budget) and wanted to build new stadiums for the Yankees and Mets (he did manage to build them a couple of minor league parks).</p>
<p>Completely true K&S. I’m not thrilled about that spending, but boy do I miss Rudy in terms of quality of life. Bloomberg has his priorities, and the people of New York are low on that list. Or at least what the people need/want as opposed to what he deems appropriate from on high.</p>
