Oh, and what choice did he have?
The Senators don't think they're needed -- they just don't want to hear complaints from constituents about the local Post Office closing down. The same goes for the processing plants.
Buffalo's processing plant was slated for closure. Do you think for a minute that Congress-critters Higgins (D) and Hochul (D), let alone Senator Schumer (D) were going to let 700 union jobs in Buffalo just go away? Your criticisms should be aimed at Congress.
My congressman is an idiot.
