Congrats on your successful escape from NY.
Chuckie and his "progressive caucus" are trying their darnedest to export the NY City serfdom mentality on the rest of the country, just as the NY Assembly people are trying to export NY City laws on the rest of us in upstate NY.
Where ever you are you can help stop him by firing Harry Reid as majority leader.
I grew up in Washington County, the place was really deteriorating by the time we left(2010)..urban blight, closed factories, abandoned tourist communities throughout the Adirondacks. We left because of taxes & the disgusting gun laws.
We're in Miami-Dade County, Florida now..it has it's issues for sure- but compared to the iron fisted bureaucracy up there we feel 1000x times more free.
Reid is another huge problem..heck the whole system is a huge problem..lol
