Many upstate New Yorkers continue to believe that upstate tax dollars support NYC and keep it afloat. That may have been arguable 30 or 40 years ago but not now. Buffalo and Erie county are complete wards of the state for sure and most of the rest of upstate is teetering on financial disaster. As Il Douche and Wilhelm, er DeBlasio continue to take steps to destroy NYC we should all be aware that this is going to hit us right in the wallet. NYC legislators in Albany aren’t going to stop spending; if anything they’ll send more money to NYC to try to redress the damage being done by Il Douche and Wilhelm. After all, who from western New York will try to stop them? Tim Kennedy, Sean Ryan, Chrystal Peoples? Western New York has never had less competent, less effective representation in Albany than it has right now. And as the murder rate soars and the Coronavirus uptick has begun you won’t be seeing the thousands of European tourists flooding the City in the spring as has been the case for decades.
