To the gentleman that came to NY Saratoga County and is very happy, I am glad, but you are in the minority. For those of us who have lived here for over 60 years, we remember what it once was and are sick over what it has become.
To the person that said that we just need to get out and vote. NYC and the other population centers vote Democrat as seen on the map. That causes the NYS Assembly which has 150 members to be made up of 106 Democrats and only 43 Republicans. This is even changing as the NY City people flee the city and move upstate, not to mention that NYC itself owns most of several counties. Delaware county is 51% owned by NYC and so they control all that occurs there in an effort to "protect their water"
Things here in NY are so bad that we lost 300,000 people last year alone. The laws that were passed will do nothing to stop violent crime or keep anyone safe. They have everything to do with controlling people, which we knows means that only people that obey laws will be controlled and the criminals will continue to run rampent.
On a nation wide topic, I would suggest that if you wish to purchase any "sporting goods" in another state that you bring lots of cash as the Democrats are now forcing the credit card companies to report your transactions to them so they can keep track of what you are purchasing.
As I have been saying for many years now, will the last person to leave NY please turn out the lights.
I hope to move to free America such as where my son lives in MO, but the wife, another native NY refuses to move. It may come down to move with me or I move without you.
