We have a bunch of sellouts. - alice Lemos Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:32:36 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/home/61-campaign-08/227-timothy-cochrane-for-congress.html#comment-546 this situation is all part of the neglect the leaders of the GOP have inflicted on NYC and NY State. What an interesting point you made, Luke, BTW. "It will have been 28 years since this seat has been in Democrat hands. Back then, 17 of New York's 39 Congressional seats were represented by Republicans. Today, only 6 of 29 are." has anyone ever really thought about WHY NY's Congressional delegation has shrunk from 39 to 29 over the last 30 years? This is the biggest "shame" of the GOP and for the State of NY. NY hasn't kept up with the same population growth going on all around the country. We've lagged significantly, destroying our ability to "get things done" in DC. NY needs to change it's policies both to bring people in to the state and to keep people from fleeing the state. Mainly, we need to change our tax policies and our economic development efforts to make them competitive with the rest of the country. The GOP, sadly, has as much to do with this prohibitive environment - 11 of the 12 years of Pataki/Bruno were an overspending, over-taxing and increasingly regulatory burdensome period. To help NY increase it's status and strength as a state in this country, NY's next generation of leaders need to make these changes...and quickly... - Jay Golub Tue, 14 Oct 2008 07:12:55 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/home/61-campaign-08/227-timothy-cochrane-for-congress.html#comment-540 the election to the Demos!
