George Latimer signs have begun to appear around town - but just as many, if not more, Astorino signs.
This race is surprisingly important, I've come to learn, for an off year election. Astorino has been county executive for decades now and gets elected because Democrats don't show up on off years.
He has run the county into the ground by borrowing bonds while promising low taxes. In the meantime he wants to privatize the local airports and lots of other public services like prisons for instance. A typical right wing business plan to bankrupt local government. Astorino has his eye on the Governor's office and with the Mercer family backing he is hoping to flip NY State Government to Republican just as happened in North Carolina. His campaign sends daily glossy mailers and makes robocalls with lies about Latimer, the Democrat. Its all paid for by the Robert and Rebecca Mercer who are anti schools, healthcare, environmental protection etc... and very much pro big business and breaks for the 1%. Basically the Trump agenda.
My lawn now has Latimer signs. Don't forget to vote and if you value your civil liberties in NY support Latimer and help defeat the continuing threat of Rob Astorino.
