DEA READERS;
THERE IS AN INSIDEOUS MOVE AFOOT BY OUR LEADERS IN ALBANY TO SEPARATE US FROM OUR MONEY UNDER THE GUISE OF REFORM. IT IS CALLED THE" BUDGET REFORM ACT", AND WE WILL BE VOTING ON THIS MEASURE THIS NOVEMBER. THIS INISITIVE IS 300 WORDS LONG AND YOU WILL ONLY HAVE MINUTES TO DESIPHER THIS MUMBO-JUMBO. YOU WILL HAVE NO HELP FROM THE LOCAL MEDIA, AND THERE WILL BE NO PANPHLET TO HELP YOU. FEAR NOT, I WILL. SIMPLY BROKEN DOWN THIS MEASURE EXTENDS THE BUDGET DEADLINE BY 30 DAYS, FROM APRIL FIRST TO MAY FIRST. THE ONLY THING THIS REFORM ACOPMPLISHES IS SHORTENING BY 30 DAYS HOW LATE OUR STATE BUDGET WILL BE. IT ALSO STATES THAT IF THE BUDGET IS LATE, THE STATE USES LAST YEARS BUDGET TILL A NEW ONE IS IN PLACE. THIS IS WHERE THE REAL REFORM TAKES PLACE. WHEN THE OLD BUDGET IS ACTIVATED THEN ONLY THE ASSEMBLY AND THE SENATE SIT DOWN AND HAMMER OUT A NEW BUDGET WITH OUT THE GOVENOR. NOW WHATEVER YOU MAY THINK OF THE GOVENOR, HE IS THE ONLY STATEWIDE ELECTED OFFICIAL WE HAVE TO WATCHOUT AND ACT IN OUR BEHALF WHEN IT COMES TRO THE BUDGET. TO LEAVE THE BUDGET UP TO THE ASSEMBLY AND THE SENATE, WHO ACT LIKE LITTLE FIFEDOMS, BEHOLDEN UPON SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS TO STAY IN POWER, TO LEAVE THIS PROCESS UP TO OUR LOCAL STATE AND ASSEMBLY REPRESENTATIVES WHO TAKE THEIR MARCHING ORDERS FROM THEIR LEADERS IN THE ASSEMBLY OR SENATE, OUT OF FEAR OF LOOSING THIER COMMITEE CHAIRMANSHIPS OR STIPENDS THEY USE TO BUY OUR VOTES, IS TO SANCTION A RAID ON OUR WALLLETS UNSEEN IN OUR TIME. THIS MEASURE MUST BE VOTED DOWN IN THE NAME OF FISCAL SANITY. ONLY YOU THIS NOVEMBER CAN STOP THE FOX FROM RUNNING THE HEN HOUSE.
************************************************************************************
I HAVE TO LAUGH AT OUR ELECTED LEADERS AS THEY POINT TO BIG OIL AS THE BOOGEY MAN IN THE RECENT SPIKE IN OIL PRICES. SURE, I BELIEVE THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US, YET, TO HEAR OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THOSE WHO WISH TO BECOME OUR REPESENTATIVES SPEAK, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WERE ONLY BYSTANDERS. WE HAVE NOT HAD A NEW REFINRERY BUITL SINCE 1976. WE HAVE NOT HAD A NEW PIPELINE BUILT ON OVER 25 YEARS. WE HAVE 50 STATES AND 40 DIFFERENT BLENDS OF GAS AND HEATING OIL. IT IS THEIR HINERING THE BUILDING OF THOSE REFINERIES AND PIPELINES THERE BYE STIFLING THE SUPLY OF GAS AND HEATING OIL THAT HAS A PROFOUND AFFECT ON PRICES. IT IS THEIR OVERREGULATION OF THE OIL INDUSTRY THAT DRIVES UP THE COST OF PRODUCING AND DELIVERING THAT OIL AND GAS THAT DRIVES UP PRICES. IT IS THEIR ENACTING ONOURUS TAXES, FEES AND SURCHARGES ON GAS AND OIL THAT DRIVES UP PRICES. FOR THEM TO ACT AS IF THEY ARE VIRGINS IN THE FLEECING OF OUR DISPOSABLE INCOME IS AN INSULT TO THE INTELEGENCE OF EVERY VOTER. NOT ONE OF THEIR PROPOSALS WILL PRODUCE ONE BARREL OF GAS OR OIL THAT WILL INCREASE SUPLY AND THERBYE LOWER THE PRICE OF GAS. UNTIL THEY START ACTUALLY ADRESSING THE REAL NEEDS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM OF SUPLY AND DISTRIBUTION, THEY SHOULD SIT DOWN, SHUT UP AND STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF THE MARKET PLACE AND STOP PANDERING FOR VOTES.
