Republican -- of course..which means we need a lot of foot work but with
the position on the Tolls, MTA and increased taxes I think we have a
real chance. In addition, I can talk about Medicaid expenses and make
real cuts to the program without affecting care in a way that others
can not.

Cutting back on graft and medicaid can cover most expenses. The state
is filled with set asides in Education and Healthcare that plunder the
treasury and these can be directly addressed.
For example, I filled an RX today for Levaquin for a patient that should
have been on Cipro - a Community aquired simple chest infections.
Levaquin is on the Downstate Medical Center formulary and they pay $3.00
a table. On the outside Medicaid then pays $37.00 a tablet, $300 an RX.
This is an intentional set aside in the medicaid budget to suite the
Pharmacy company.

I tend to talk loudly and keep hot issues on the front page.

Can't say I've heard of it Matthew. Most evil in NYS happens because of
apathy and pandering. I don't pander and I'm not apathetic.
Enjoying the new taxes that go into affect on April 15th including a ton
of new internet taxes: See this from Heritage Auctions:
Effective April 15th Heritage will be required by state law to charge
all applicable sales taxes on any items delivered to New York addresses
other than sales to dealers with valid New York sales tax numbers who
are purchasing for resale and who furnish us with a properly completed
New York resale certificate (exempt purchasers may, of course, furnish
us with properly completed New York exemption certificates). Please see
paragraph #25 in our Terms and Conditions for more complete information.
