Paterson: Albany mess could mean LI property tax boost

Gov. David A. Paterson Sunday called on state senators to put an end to political chaos in Albany, and warned that Long Islanders will face dramatic property tax increases and service cuts if order is not restored.

[Not Impressed]

Fire them all now!

[taxpayer on LI]

fire them all we can use the money to keep everyday working long islanders in a job and not laid-off

[Tax Revolt]

The scumbag politicians know they can get away with raising taxes with impunity because there is no organized opposition due to the control of the media by the same people who control the politicians.

“We pause in our round-the-clock defamation of Iran to bring you, Michael Jackson.

Our Zionist-controlled media have temporarily shifted from hysterical denunciation of Iran to pious genuflection before the altar of an androgyne.

To the extent that Iran has been demonized, Mr. Jackson is being canonized — as ‘the’ iconic American entertainer. How strange and at the same time, revelatory.”

[nassau Tax Slaves]

What ever happened to "A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE"

[Newsdayblog]

Amazing, but I thought we all saw lots of tax increases with Gov Paterson, Ass Silver and Sen Smith at the helm.

Another excuse by this sory administration.

[Just Sayin]

Time to cut services that the taxpayers at present cannot afford.

[vote them out]

I say we remember this & vote every one of them out! If you or I did this we would be fired. People are trying to live with less or are losing there jobs. You can't get blood from a stone.

[Adios]

They should all go to Argentina, No, we wouldn't "cry" for them.

[JAG]

All these scumbag politicians care about is blowing their loads (figurative and literal)

[Outstanding]

I really hope all HE|| breaks loose. Perhaps then Long Ilander will get off their fat, lazy, a$$es and stop kick something up in Albany.

[Balto]

Do the layoffs, Tommy Boy. YOU have boosted taxes enough for your patronage, public trough feeders, personal drivers, and YOUR enormous salary increase. The people of Nassau County (those still working and not on the dole) are tapped out.

[puntacana]

More than 30 state legislators from Long Island were re-elected just last November. Only one got bounced. The assembly and senate is safe in 2009 and everybody is up for another term in 2010. By then the dumb sheeple will pull the same levers again on their way to the soup kitchen. Last November the sheeple voted themselves an 8 BILLION dollar state tax and fee increase during the deepest recession since Granpa's day.

The dumbest voters on the planet live in New York.

Their chances of reelection are dropping by the hour.

[Curious George Pres]

The blind man sayys that if they don't go back to work taxes will go up and if they do go back to work taxes will be raised. Lets see what choice to we like?
Dump them all.

[Had Enough]

All of these bums, Democrats and Republicans, in the state, including our U.S. Senators, and Congressman, have to go. People, it's time for a clean slate.
If we don't get these politicians (parasites) out of our Counties, State and Federal, were screwed. Look what has been occurring these past several months. All of salaries will be eaten up be paying for these hefty tax bills.
I bet not one of them is concerned paying their mortgage, to put food on the table, our that their savings are shrinking to enable their children to attend college our enjoy retirement.

[Clear Vision]

Newsday is WRONG when they say taxes must go up unless the legislature acts. NO !. We must cut the size of government by eliminating the bloated staffs, and benefits.

Most of our taxes DO NOT go directly toward services but to pay for thousands of excess state, town, and county employees. We need thousands of layoffs, no tax increases.
