In a big election year, we are accustomed to candidates meeting voters on the train platform. That said, I was taken aback this week when Assemblyman George Latimer appeared in Bronxville; we aren’t in his district, nor did he reveal he was actually campaigning. Latimer was nice enough to perform some survey about the Metro North.
Funny thing, he neglected to inform the good taxpayers he is actually running for State Senate, and he’s using YOUR money to fund the literature he passed out. He’s apparently done the same in Harrison and Mt. Vernon where many Yonkers commuters catch the train. Both are also in the senate district he is pursuing but not his assembly district.
Has he brought his survey to our neighbors in Dobbs Ferry? How about Peekskill and Ossining? But George Latimer does indeed care about our commuters. Why else would he vote in favor of the original MTA Payroll Tax which targeted small businesses, non-profits, and our schools to fund the defunct and corrupt MTA. Thanks a lot.
Does Mr. Latimer’s survey make sure our taxpayer dollars are being used in the best way possible? Doubtful, since he is clearly campaigning on taxpayer funded material. This is exactly what happens to career politicians who have spent more than 20 years moving up the political ladder. The taxpayer dollar loses all its value and is replaced by meaningless rhetoric. The ethics behind such a maneuver are very slippery, taxpayers and voters take note.
Latimer is a disgrace
This career politician has lost all sense of what is right and wrong. He really thinks he is entitled to use taxpayer dollars for his campaign. This is what happens when you have not spent a minute in private sector for 20 years. Latimer must be stopped this year.
Latimer’s full of hot air & himself.
Latimer’s full of hot air & himself.
He’s been out justifying why he missed the vote on the Tier VI pesnion reform or why he voted against the tax cap or why he voted for the MTA payroll tax or why he voted for the water bottle tax or this is really too easy, almost like shooting fish in a barrel as Latimer supports just about every tax put in front of him yet wants to be called an independant free thinker.
What a lie & he’s sure to join forces (if elected) with NYC’s democratic senators & I’m sure they’re looking out for the interests of suburban areas like New Rochelle, (NOT & lol)
What he really is a yes man for the unions, you can count on that. The voters need to show him the door out of Albany & let him feel the pain of NY’s paltry $405/week unemployment benefits.
