Republicans scamming the citizenry?
Please, say it isn't so.....
A lot of pants are on fire in New York State.
Maybe someone should actually read the stuff they vote on...Even if a group of them got together and each took a section of the law, it would be better than the pig-in-a-poke approach.
This bill is about spending $31+ million. That pays for a lot of make-work, pacifies a lot of contractors, enables a lot more government employees and gives the appearance of prosperity, at least to those who receive the payments. I’m sure a number of “Republican” supporters (i.e. contributors, voters) expect to benefit from this spending.
Furious they got caught.
It’s all BS! They are backtracking and we are calling them out for it. The pandering rino’s in NY are feeling the wrath of all our protests and we are having them everywhere. They say they are against NY SAFE but have voted to fund it twice.
I personally have been calling out every senator I see and know telling them plain and simple, quit the pandering, you may have voted against it but you have funded it twice and are doing NOTHING to move the repeal Bills to the floor.
We get stronger everyday we just need more candidates to run primaries against them.
Was invisible ink used?
The “I’m too stupid to pay attention” argument?
If the effin’ Pubbies would actually READ the bill (or have their staff read it...) they’d know these things.
Every last one of ‘em need to go.
Hidden?
Where? Did the Dems have secret pocket ‘hidden’ between a couple of pages? Or was it ‘hidden’ under the 53rd letter A in Section B?

Sounds like none of the GOP or their staffers read the document before they voted on it.
How many times is this story going to work???
TREASON against the citizens of the republic.
Maybe the time to learn what’s in the bill is BEFORE you vote for it, you lying, lazy SOBs!
Hvae you ever signed a contract that you regretted and then tried to get out of it by claiming you hadn’t read or understood it? The usual response to that defense is “You shouldn’t sign anything you haven’t read or don’t understand fully.”
If that’s the advice that applies to some poor schmuck signing a lease or a purchase offer, why doesn’t it apply to legislators and our noble guardians of the public weal?
Read and understand before voting for anything. If it takes to long or you can’t understand it, vote no to it.
In my humble opinion, laws passed on any level should require each person voting for it to stand on the floor of their respective chamber and read it out load word for word.
They would still be reading the damned “affordable health care act” if this read out loud before you vote was the law.
plus, laws would be made shorter and simpler.
More TYPICAL Republicans.
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” he told the National Press Club. “What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Passing laws without knowing what is in them should be a hanging offense.
