| The Republicans in this state make a point of always linking Democrats with New York City or downstate when campaigning for seats upstate. Even when elected, representatives try to say that problems in Albany are because of the downstate Democrats. Thus, if you want someone to blame for the downstate-upstate divide, blame the Republicans.
But New York City isn't that bad. First, Sen. George Maziarz (R-Newfane) scheduled a fundraiser in New York City on May 8. Tomorrow though, the Senate Republicans will have their own fundraiser in Manhattan. For $1,000 per person, you can get into the general reception and for $5,000 you can get into the private reception.
How do you spell "hypocrite?" G-O-P. |
