...to the nation, to our state, county, and school district?
...to your taxes in the near future?
Health Care Reform...less chance of it passing? Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
Change in leadership of the County Legislature...back to the way things used to be under the "Nassau Republicans" who were driven from office by voters several years ago? ...or a new beginning with a new team?
Will Ed Mangano unseat Tom Suozzi? Suozzi's BIG IDEAS never did amount to much more than just big ideas. But, what are Ed Mangano's ideas? Do we even know? Would he be better than Tom Gullotta, who almost drove the County to fiscal insolvency?
The new Comptroller...will he really be the "Taxpayers' Watchdog", and ride herd over waste and excesses, or, just another politician with a short memory for campaign promises?
The old District Attorney...must have done something right to have been returned by the voters for another term.
Backlash against Democrats in New Jersey and Virginia...does this signal a change in the majority leadership in Congress next year?
Backlash against a conservative extremist and against a moderate Republican in upstate NY...could spell trouble for the majority of moderate people who like to consider themselves Republicans, especially if they sense neo-con reactionary hit squads coming into their neighborhoods from around the country to enforce a far-right wing agenda, thus driving voters and votes to the Democrats?
Voters fed-up with incumbents, with the flagging economy, with the uncertainty of high unemployment, with higher and higher taxes, with new taxes, and new taxing schemes on top of higher and higher old taxes...may spell real trouble for any school district budget that is not honed razor thin next May.
How do YOU feel?
