Spitzer Abandons Amazon Tax

Submitted by RDavis, Nov 15, 2007 18:00

I am so happy I did not vote for Mr. Spitzer. I am still stuck with him, but I don't have to be kicking myself around the corner because my vote helped get him elected.
I don't know how many "Wake-Up Calls" we need to get to realize that the Politicians in this state do not care about us. Chucky Schumer, Ms Hillary, and the others.They are out just to get the vote and to stay in power!!!
But we do not learn. The Good people of Schenectady still re-elected Mayor Stratton (Democrat), who is ruining Schenectady. I am still paying for my Trash removal, which used to be included in my taxes, and the taxes in this state are horrendous.
So Mr. Spitzer wanted to give the privilege of a Driver's license to ILLEGALS, He wants to tax the internet and he is letting criminals out of our jail system. I wonder how much more damage he can think of doing before his term is finally over.
I sure wish we had the power to RECALL.
