Yes, lived in this state most of my life, but I'm at the point where I am giving serious thought to moving to a red (or at least purple) state with a better economy. NY is controlled by the Albany/NYC corridor, and the pols (and some of the voters, apparently) are ridiculously corrupt. This state will not turn away from the Democrats in my lifetime, so no point in wasting my votes on a party that doesn't seem to care one iota about competing here.

Sir,

My family has been in the Hudson Valley since 1720. I left in 2013 after 15 years with the NYSP. My Brother just left for NC in July. Get out while you can.

Got the following message from my liberal daughter who lives in Buffalo.

“I’m voting across party lines today for the first time in my life .. I hate Cuomo.”

Cuomo is as corrupt as they come. He had tons of people indicted around him this year and yet somehow managed to miss the bullet. People all around him being indicted on corruption charges. He is so guilty but money walks and talks and nothing else much matters.

I lived in upstate NY close to Canadian border for years when I got out of the AF. Franklin County. It’s the country. In upstate NY it’s a lot of pickup trucks, country music, county fairs and dairy farms. Republican country and they love Trump. It’s a damn shame a few small counties in southern NY control politics but it seems to be that way all over the country. Crime ridden, broken down big cities. It’s a damn shame.
