TWU HURTS COMMUTERS....AGAIN!
The TWU, which has a history of illegal and strategically timed strikes, has again moved to harm the riding public. Following the recent move by the MTA (itself an arrogant organization) to slash bus routes, private van operators set up service to provide transportation to New Yorkers stranded by the MTA's inappropriate changes.
In response, the TWU, which sees threats to its members under every rocked, sued. Apparently, this militant and extremist organization cares nothing about depriving the riding public from access to work, medical care, and other essentials. The TWU should be chastised for this foul assault on the public.
The first fundraiser for the Vernuccio for State Senate campaign was a sold out success! State and local leaders from the Republican and Conservative parties were joined by several prominent former Democratic Party elected officials in calling for the election of Frank Vernuccio. Prominent members of civic organizations both attended and called for the election of Vernuccio this November, also.
ABOLISH THE MTA!
July 28, 2010
Once again, the MTA has called for fare increases at a time when service remains deficient. The Authority still has not been honest with the public about its true financial situation.
Over the years, I have repeatedly called for MTA reforms, and demanded also that elected officials take their oversight responsibilities seriously.
It is clear that the MTA is beyond reform. The only practical solution remaining is to abolish this failed organization and replace it with a new, more open, efficient, and effective structure.

Frank has signed the “Stand with Israel Petition.” Israel is America’s firmest ally, and the inexcusable position taken by President Obama and the Democrat party to not stand by Israel during our ally’s time of greatest need is both inexplicable and extremely dangerous. The USA and Israel must stand shoulder to shoulder, both to protect the people of Israel and to defeat international terror and the Iranian nuclear threat.

Another budget season has passed, and once again the utter incompetence and self interest of the Albany establishment is leading to higher taxes, lesser services, and a complete failure to address major issues facing the state. The key problem: The priorities of men like Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Deputy Majority Leader Klein have nothing to do with needs of the people and the state. This is the reason New York is close to bankruptcy. It must end, and I will do everything possible to stop when I go to Albany.

The refusal by Mr. Malkin, owner of the Empire State Building, to acknowledge Mother Teresa with a traditional light show atop the famous NYC landmark is both inexplicable and a direct slap against New York State’s Albanian community. Malkin has also refused to honor the United States Marine Corps, but had no problem commemorating the anniversary of the Communist regime of China. This is an individual with a warped value system that should disqualify him from owning New York’s most distinctive building.
