“Additionally, he seemed focused on NYC life, but there is the rest of the state that has different concerns.”
Of course you are right.
I was born and raise in NYC, but I thought today that what Palladino needs to do (or the next guy/gal, since Carl seems to be self-destructing) is to just say OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again: NY NEEDS A GOVERNOR FROM UPSTATE!!!
I don’t know who the last one would be. I remember back to Nelson Rockefeller, and Pataki was from the outer ring of suburbs I think.
It might be the best thing that could happen for NY.
And no, you can’t have Christie, he’s ours!
(NY refugee here! Almost totally converted to a Jersey Girl after 22 years....almost)
I think I’m about to head for the exit also. The hubby and I have had nothing but employment problems for about the last 9 years, and with all the taxes and fees and too little growth to support them it has gotten to be too much of a burden on our quality of life.
But, what’s the % of voters upstate compared to the overall number of NY State voters? Aren’t there more votes in the city?
