Thank you so much for the link, Rus. The next governor of New York may be a relative of MrJust’s cousins. They have Paladino cousins (older than Carl) in New York.
I like his stand on these issues ....
1) Cut state spending by 20% across the board - he’ll cut taxes and spending by ten percent in the first six months of his administration;
2) Review every department and agency of state government to evaluate efficiency, effectiveness and necessity and cut programs not benefiting the taxpayer;
3) Cut the State’s income tax on manufacturing to keep these businesses in New York and attract new ones here;
4) Require a minimum one-year residency in New York State before someone is eligible for Medicaid benefits;
5) Limit the total time a State Legislator can serve to no more than 8 years;
6) Eliminate the State Legislators’ pension plans and their subsidized lifetime health care coverage since serving in the State Legislature is a part-time position;
7) Require a super majority of 60% of both Houses of the State Legislature in order to raise any state taxes;
8) Eliminate the automatic cost of living pay raises State Legislators get and require legislators to vote to raise their pay and face their constituents; and
9) Require ALL State Legislators to fully disclose the amount and all sources of outside income to guard against conflicts of interest.
I wish a California candidate would come out strong against raising taxes and spending.
I plan to make a small donation to Carl’s campaign. Wish him luck from California.
That’s my guy! When I saw the choices we were going to have for gov I had to find some one that would stand up for us. It took me a month to talk him into running. Now we really have some one to vote for instead of voting for the lessor of two evils. Thanks Amy.
