It is the money… the funding. The people with the money have bought the candidate they expect will protect their interests.

In my NYS county, our local library is funded by our property taxes. Also the county library system gets funds from not only our taxes but also the state income taxes. The city library system (NYC) also gets funds from our income, sales, regular transport fees and regular sales taxes. My complaint is the requirement to recertify for library borrowing privileges. I pay a lot. I expect the services from the state that I pay for. I have lived in shitty low tax states so I know how much they suck in comparison.

I live in NYS. so my state income taxes fund the Brooklyn Library. Even after you get a library card, you have to recertify which is bullshit. This is not SNAP. I qualify to borrow ebooks without being shamed for not living in the boroughs.

NJ= Menendez

so we wait for him to be ejected. NJ, we are watching you now. Get your shit together.

Yeah, I don’t like cheaters. My current Congressional rep is a Texan carpetbagger MAGA fuck.

OK, you are in TX and have not one point of interest nor any reasonable input. Solve your own problems first.

Honestly, as a NYS resident, I don’t have a problem with Hochul. Santos is LI problem- they are idiots. Guiliani? It has been a long time since he was a NYS politician subject to a voting body. He is a sell out and frankly, sucked as a NYC mayor. I think the run off method for the mayoral vote is what gave us Adams. Garcia seemed to me to be a stronger and more experienced candidate. But I don’t live in NYC so don’t have a vote in that sector.

hello. The NYC libraries are supported by NYS income taxes. Mayor Adams is over-reaching. I have a NYC library card while not living in NYC because I support them via my taxes. He can fuck the hell off. I wish my vote could impact his re-election. Clearly, he can not handle his job.
