Dear John,
Hold on to your wallets! New reports out this week reflect that Joe Biden's "Build Back BROKE" spending extravaganza is set to hit already overtaxed New Yorkers with the largest tax rate in the nation and increase the tax rate for 30% of our already struggling middle class. As the cold settles in across New York, home heating costs are also expected to increase thanks to Bidenflation.
New York Republicans are fighting to lower the burdens and costs for our fellow New Yorkers. State Senator Sue Serino and her colleagues for example have proposed a suspension of New York's gas tax which could save many up to 50 cents per gallon. After voters rejected the Democrat's insane policies last week, it seems that they simply don't care to try to make things better. The 2022 Red Wave that was coming just keeps getting redder!
We also received more developments this week on the investigations into Andrew Cuomo. The transcripts from the Attorney Generals' office painted a disturbing picture of the disgraced former Governor and his treatment of women and staff. It also gave us a window into his botched COVID-19 pandemic response. Testimony from a key health department official shows that he blocked working with their NYC counterparts on crucial aspects of government response to COVID-19 for no apparent reason other than he just didn't like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
In other words, while New Yorkers suffered during the height of the pandemic, Andrew Cuomo was focused on settling sick personal vendettas and then writing a book glorifying himself. Meanwhile, the Assembly Democrats have yet to make known anything about their investigations into both the nursing home cover-up and $5 million book deal. What is the holdup? Kathy Hochul also remains totally silent, just as she has always been. Republicans will continue fighting every day to get to the bottom of the facts and ensure justice for every victim of Andrew Cuomo.
Sincerely,

Businesses Fleeing New York!

Thanks to the crushing policies coming out of Democrat-controlled Albany, businesses just don't want to stay in New York. Too many, like Remington Arms, have decided it makes more sense to pick up and leave, taking critical working-class jobs with them. This madness stops when we elect business-friendly Republicans up and down the ballot in 2022! |

President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda would raise taxes on up to 30 percent of middle-class families, despite his campaign promises not to hike taxes on anyone making under $400,000 per year, according to a new analysis. “Taking into account all major tax provisions, roughly 20 percent to 30 percent of middle-income households would pay more in taxes in 2022,” an analysis published late Thursday by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center found.

After casting his ballot in the early morning on Election Day, Ray Huang made more than a dozen trips to poll sites in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood. Each time, he brought with him one or two Chinese residents who came to vote for Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, just as he did. They weren’t alone: While Sliwa notched 29% of ballots cast citywide and 24% in Brooklyn, in central Sunset Park he got 46% against Democrat Eric Adams, city Board of Election data shows. In this hub of the neighborhood, known as Brooklyn’s Chinatown, 70% of residents categorized themselves as Asian in the 2020 census. Across the five boroughs, Sliwa scored 44% of the vote in precincts where more than half of residents are Asian — surpassing his 40% of votes in white enclaves, 20% in majority-Hispanic districts, and 6% in majority-Black districts.

A former top state Health Department infectious disease expert testified that Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office barred the agency from working closely with the New York City Health Department and other county public health officials during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic last year. Dr. Elizabeth Dufort, the former medical director of the state DOH’s office of epidemiology who personally administered Cuomo’s first COVID-19 swab test last year, made the bombshell claim during questioning by lawyers hired by state Attorney General Letitia James who investigated sexual harassment and other allegations leveled against the ex-governor. “We were not allowed to collaborate with our peers in the local health departments and New York City Department of Mental Health and Hygiene which is a critical component in an outbreak response to collaborate with different facets of public health,” Dufort, identified as state employee #2, said in more than 200 pages of witness testimony.

It wasn’t the high taxes in Nassau County, or the recent changes to New York’s bail laws that drove Lizette Sonsini, a former Democrat, to vote Republican this year.
Her reasons were more overarching. “I don’t like the president, and the Democrats are spending too much money on things like infrastructure, when really we need politicians who are going to bring more money back into this country,” said Ms. Sonsini, 56, of Great Neck. “Maybe if Democrats see how we’re voting in these local elections,” she said, “they will see we’re not happy with the way things are going.” Across the country, Democrats witnessed an intense backlash on Election Day, as the party suffered major losses in Virginia and in many suburban communities like Nassau County, where Democratic leaders were swept from office by Republicans — even though registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by 100,000.

Decked out in red, white, and blue balloons, lights, and 3D stars, the Stereo Garden displayed campaign signs throughout its entryway and stage for candidates. Suffolk County Republicans came out in full force, taking control of the Suffolk County Legislature, unseating the Democratic majority leader Rob Calarco and taking control of the 18-seat body. They gathered to watch results and celebrate victories at Stereo Garden in Patchogue, as they swept the county for several key seats. Republican candidate Dominick Thorne unseated Suffolk County presiding officer Rob Calarco with 54 percent with 6,611 votes, to Calarco’s 45 percent of the vote, 5.627 votes, for District 7. This would have been Calarco’s final term as legislator after serving a total of 10 years in the seat.
