Do you know the Britney Spears song ‘Oops I did it again’? Seems a most appropriate song for what the Democrats just pulled – again. Yes, I am speaking of their override of Astorino’s veto to ensure a ‘free’ entrance fee to Playland for Westchester Residents. Please pay no mind that the lost revenue has to be made up somewhere; Please pay no mind that this will HURT not HELP Westchester in any way shape or form.
In Britney’s song she sings ‘You see my problem is this: I’m dreaming away; Wishing that heroes, they truly exist. Can’t you see I’m a fool in so many ways? But to lose all my senses that is just so typically me….’ You get the idea.
We need a wake up call for this Super Majority. Seems they are ‘dreaming away’ believing that Playland losing money isn’t so; believing that taking away the entrance fee will ‘bring more people in’ (in truth I agree with this one in that it will bring more teenagers in who only want to ‘hang around’ which of course will turn off the families that we should be trying to attract). It’s important to note that statistics show through June 12th of this year, resident spectators numbered 7,323, down from 12,212 in 2010. Conveniently, the Super Majority blames the spectator fee but the reality is – has anyone bothered to notice our Economy? Worse yet, the Dems have no workable/realistic plan to recoup the $377,000 we now will lose – that we need! Dare I say Typical?? Problem is, facts are facts and those facts scream ‘Houston We Have a Problem’!
Britney may have gotten ‘lost in the game’ but we cannot afford to. Our Super Majority doesn’t seem to grasp the concept that we pay fees every single day! The latest argument is a ‘double tax’ argument. By far, I find this one the MOST humorous. Can someone, anyone, give me one example of where we are not double taxed?
“The goal is to get people into Playland—not keep them out,” said Legislator and Minority Whip Judith Myers (D-Larchmont). With all due respect Ms. Myers, the goal for Playland is to make a profit and Stop Running at a deficit to the detriment of Westchester County taxpayers!
