Our Dean is at it again. What an embarassment.
From The Albany Project:
"Does Skelos Even Know Where He Is? (+)
by: phillip anderson
That's a serious question. Check out what he had to say while visiting Chemung County yesterday:
"New York State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos says Chemung County is only slightly different from his native Nassau County."
Um, what? Let's look at the numbers, shall we?
.............Chemung County................Nassau County
Population: 91070..............................1,334,544
Towns: 11...................................................3
Villages: 5 ...............................................64
School Districts: 3...................................56
Largest Town by pop: Horseheads, 19,561........Hempstead, 755,924
Median HH Income: $36,415................$72,030
Unemployment rate: 5.4%......................4.3%
I mean, I could go on. Chemung county government is largely controlled by republicans, including their county leg, County Exec, Treasurer, District Attorney while Nassau County is largely controlled by Democrats including their county leg, County Exec, District Attorney, etc.
It would appear, on paper at least, that Chemung County isn't exactly "only slightly different" than Nassau County.
I think Dean may need more than few more of these "listening tours" upstate. It's obvious he knows next to nothing about the region."
