Editor,

I was wondering what to write about when I opened up the paper and there on the front page was a picture of state Sen. Scott Wiener promoting a new transit tax.

One word: supermajority

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Howard, but we all know that Dems will never get their own house in order as long as they keep increasing public pensions and benefits. Dems floating any tax measure is never for the purposes being discussed. All tax measures are only to pay for these ever-increasing public pensions and benefits. Voters get the government they deserve and as long as they’re fooled with these pleas for more money… Fortunately or unfortunately, those that can afford to can move to a better run state.

Another leftist solution that makes no sense. Why would consolidation be more expensive than the status quo? Shouldn't the inverse be the result?
