COUNTY CLERKS REBEL VS. SPITZER ID PLAN (won't issue drivers' licenses to illegals)
NY POST ^ | October 5, 2007 | KENNETH LOVETT in Albany and ANDY SOLTIS in N.Y.

Posted on 10/05/2007 4:25:38 AM PDT by Liz

NY state's county clerks revolted against Gov. Spitzer's plan to allow illegal immigrants to obtain state driver's licenses - some vowed not to carry it out if ordered to do so. The clerks said Spitzer's plan would make NY a magnet for illegal immigrants, raise security concerns, and create "confusion" about state-issued licenses and non-driver IDs at voting booths, in government offices and elsewhere.

I'm sure Spitzer will work on providing subsidized rental cars & RV's for illegals to go to Florida as soon as he can get his bogus drivers license plan through.

More seriously: Spitzer is a criminal who extorted millions for his campaign by pursuing false charges against big corporations and farming the legal work out to private firms (not the state) who collected large 'fees' for this work from the settlements. These fees were then held in reserve and a lot of them kicked back to Spitzer to run his campaign for governer.

Spitzer is as crooked and ruthless a politician as one can find in the US.

“Spitzer is as crooked and ruthless a politician as one can find in the US.”

A sad day in American history. Is this all we’re left with anymore?

God Save The Republic!

Spitter is a vicious Commie. The people of NY should have known better than elect this corrupt hack, especially as they got to watch his fascist tactics on vivid display when he was NY Attorney General. But then, they elected Hellery and Scummer by huge pluralities, so there is not much hope they would do better with this crook.

On the other hand, it is heartening to see the County Clerks stand up to the obvious criminality which Spitter is demanding.

This runs against Bush’s ‘we are fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them here’ mantra. But then, Bush’s position on illegal aliens has always been 180 degrees out of phase with his WOT public posture.

IMO , that's because it's just a posture. What matters is his actions.

There's all kinds of bennies this radical socialist no doubt has planned at our expense for his little illegal alien voters. College tuition, increased health care, preferential hiring quotas at the state level. Whatever he can think of regardless of the laws as the taxpayers and employers continue to be forced out from the high taxes, regulations and increasing crime. Savage is right, liberalism is a mental disease with no cure.

Spitzer should be impeached.

Then run out of Albany on a rail in a feather coat.

“the new cosa nostra”

Yes but worse. The old cosa nostra only affected a small portion of Americans. The new is out to destroy us all!

Without question, this will destroy the owner operators/independents in the trucking industry. Certainly local trucking. They are finished. And, you’ll see the formal/informal hubs just inside the NY state border and the spoke (trucking within the state) will be by Pedro’s Pony Express.

For years all we hear was: “Driving is a privilege, not a right!”

Initially this was sold as to save New Yorkers on car insurance, so there would be fewer illegal’s driving unlicensed. WOW, so we save $1.42 each per year (or whatever -you know its peanuts). That was universally scoffed at.

This makes some fools feel good though until theres a new target fitting for deconstruction.
