It's been a while

Yes - it's been a while since I posted... 'tis the season you know - and not a lot of farm activities going on with the ground covered in snow.
So I thought I'd share my most recent prose with the New Your State readers - who will appreciate the actions and activities of our elected government this week.

If you think this kind of behavior by "our representatives"will just stop - think again. Visit http://www.nyintegrity.org/local/ , find your Representative and send them a message with your thoughts...

Text version:

‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the State,
Patterson’s proposed tax hikes dimmed the hopes of our fiscal fate.
With complete disregard and little fore-sight,
The un-elected Governor proposed a budget that was completely affright.
While visions of savings danced in his head,
The State Government would continue to operate deep in the red.
More rapid than growth his taxes they came,
all squeezing the little guy and decreasing his gain.
No cuts, no slashes of all the State bloat - Kill education, cops and other programs that keep society afloat.
"Eight percent a tune, the tax shall be, and on clothing and soda, I too shall levee!"
As the Governor completed his holiday decree,
I couldn't help thinking, we all got screwed by Ashley Dupree.
