The right choice for NYS Assembly
A safer bet would be to go with what is known rather than unknown
To Richard Fisher and others: we understand your burning desire to surf the blue wave. We get that. You don't like our president and care little about the booming economy, increased national security and other massive achievements but you're also entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. However you should know your facts. Have you actually LOOKED at Assemblyman Byrne's record? He has done more for us in one term than most politicians do in their entire careers. Also you mention the SALT deduction... surely you are aware that this issue was part of FEDERAL tax reform? State legislators have no say in federal matters. If you are distressed over being unable to deduct the excess above $10,000 of our egregious property taxes and insanely high state income taxes on your FEDERAL income tax return, the ones you should be attacking are Sean Maloney, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer (guess which political party they belong to? LOL).
So while I understand that you and Celeste Theis are consumed with vile vitriol and obsessed with electing Gashi (does he have a record you can point to?), know your facts. Also as I understand, while Gashi's family has maintained its residence here in Yorktown, he himself lived in the city until very recently when he moved back into his childhood home solely to challenge the incumbent. At least that's what my Albanian friends in the Bronx have told me (among other scary things but I will refrain from any mention of that lest I be falsely accused of libel and subject to more partisan attacks).
As I have already stated in a previous post, vote the PERSON, not the PARTY. A wise individual falsely accused of a crime will seek to retain counsel with a proven track record of successful defense in similar matters, not a novice who excels at eloquent rhetoric with no actual notches on the tree.

Murphy and Byrne. No one fights for us like the fighting Irish (and if I get sued by Notre Dame I'll deal with it then LMAO).
