A Serious Problem requires Serious People

Legislator Harchkam and Board Chairman Jenkins, for months, told us they had put forth a plan better than Astorino’s saving us a ‘great deal of money’ and ‘lowering taxes’. Astorino said all they did was shuffle money around. Well friends, the rooster has come home to roost – turns out, yet again, that Astorino was correct. The article states that ‘lawmakers were befuddled’, I would have to assume they meant the Super Majority. Westchester County’s bond rating outlook lowered: http://tinyurl.com/3jfrl5b

Herein lies the problem with vetoes, super majorities, and non profits. Someone, somewhere, should be monitoring how OUR money is being spent don’t you think? Westchester’s Cornell Cooperative in need of promised funds: http://tinyurl.com/3pem6o7

And herein lies another example of the problem when a super majority, with the spend spend spend mentality, rules the roost: http://tinyurl.com/3vak8ch

Now, add up those three stories – are you not sick of the calls for bi-partisanship or reaching across the aisle? I am.  We here in Westchester have a spending problem (yes, just like the one in Albany and DC but on a lesser scale), one that Astorino has tried and tried to curtail. The out of control spending must stop. That’s why I am running for the county leg – someone’s got to get in there that isn’t seeking a career, isn’t seeking to make friends, and someone who realizes there is no money tree in the back yard. We need serious people in these seats and if that means replacing every single one of them that doesn’t comprehend the big picture – then that’s what we must do.  I haven’t been pressing my candidacy on you – but today I am b/c this is just becoming so ridiculous. We’ve got to get the word out that this Super Majority must go and be replaced with REAL conservatives. Westchester needs YOUR help. It’s time to get serious and fast.  http://lisa4westchester.com/
