I see nothing happening when the Senate meets again on Monday the 16th..They have a record of doing nothing and I do not see it being broken. We suffer and they party. God Bless the State Of New York.

I'm glad I may not have to put that ugly new plate on my car. But we all know we will pay for this somehow. It isn't like they will ever agree to take the money out of their fat paychecks.

You almost have to feel sorry for the governor. He's such a screw-up that everything he touches turns to mud. I have to think that inspite of all his re-election talk that he's as anxious to get his term over as we are. Its just one embarrassment after another.

get the state police off their buts and issue more traffic tickets. Forget about the point system, just collect the revenue. Cell phones, seat belts, etc. Start hitting the city's, you will catch alot there.

industry brings jobs, this is more important than a new plate. look around alot of work has left the state, along with the unemployed.

one way or another we are going to pay for the budget gap..it may be license plates or soda tax or who knows what..but we WILL be paying for it..
