When it comes to cities, you can’t assume the taxpayers and the voters are one and the same. Liberals dominate cities because a mass of people contributing little or nothing are simply voting themselves goodies from other peoples’ (and more importantly, COMPANIES’) taxes. Any sound fiscal conservative simply has his/her vote drowned by a deluge of gibsmedats’ votes.
That is why the Founding Fathers didn’t allow taxpayers to vote; “representation without taxation” is even worse than “taxation without representation”.
NYS still doesn’t have 900 mil lying around.
And we can’t print it.
That deal was illegal as heck.
Wonder if NYS taxpayers can take this to court to get the deal voided....
God knows we’re the ones being harmed.
