Kudos to the NY Post for putting the spotlight on another slimeball politician, in this case someone I happen to know: Peter Abbate, an assemblyman who represents Bensonhurst/Dyker Heights. This man is a complete lapdog for the municipal unions. About 4 years ago the NY Sun ran a piece on him in which they demonstrated that much of his legislation was written by the unions themselves, and turned over to him to submit to the legislature. In the Sun piece, he freely admitted this fact, and was not bothered by it at all.
In the recent case, the Post found that he tried to attach riders to legislation to further sweeten pensions for an array of municipal and state workers. The cost of these sweeteners would have been $1B, at a time when NYS had a budget gap of $19B. Thankfully, Governor Cuomo said that he will veto this legislation, after the NYP brought it to light.
I was once on the campaign staff of a person who ran against this slimeball. Unfortunately, we lost.
For the record: I’m not encouraging you to seek a higher power for comfort! I just saw all of the mental acrobatics you seemed to be going through and wanted to lend an ear.
Speaking of stamps – did you hear the new Statue of Liberty stamp is actually a picture of the Statue of Liberty at the New York New York casino in Las Vegas? Too funny.
hahahah bsm,.. “Look at the two of these photos on Yahoo News – notice anything different between them? According to Yahoo, black people “loot” — white people “find.”
Well, I’m off to run errands. Have a great day everyone! And thanks for all the help in the forum 🙂
Lech, way too late for me. Can’t get there in time 🙁
IS IT TOO LATE TO CONVENE RMLC 1145 GRAND SICHUAN?
If you’re stuck in the OT after dark and
cobble or snappy have locked up for the night.
You have to use the secret tunnel underneath Atlantic Avenue.
Watch the Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse opening:

It clearly shows the tunnel exiting the far end of the Tunnel and the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.
