HEALTHCARE - The DONORS. $$ will DECIDE!

American Healthcare is beyond reach for the AVERAGE AMERICAN. Most of us would never have care without the OBAMACARE . Prices have escalated and services have expanded.

Over the 4th of July recess,  the Republican Congressmen are meeting with their FINANCIAL DONORS to determine their vote on the upcoming Healthcare bill.  Fourth of July Picnics are the traditional fund raising events of politicians. 4th of July Picnics...with Donors....Not the voters. We are collateral. The DONORS will do the talking and decide the upcoming VOTE....the Mercers, Kochs, the PAC'setc.

The current healthcare system is not perfect. We agree.   But, for most of us, it's ALL WE have!

And the Republican Congress would rather rip it out from under us and give tremendous tax breaks to the WEALTHY....1% ...POLITICAL BLACKMAIL ..they need to keep a promise to their DONORS or they lose their financial backing.  

This upcoming vote is about INTEGRITY as well as healthcare.  After the recess, we'll see who had it and who is simply whoring for their pimp, the GOP - "GREEDY OLD POLITICIANS!"

Unfortunately, as a result of the Citizen United case --  that allowed unlimited campaign funding by corporations and wealthy private groups -- the FUTURE OF AMERICA and our HEALTHCARE rests with  the POLITICAL DONORS... not the voters....guess that's the "NEW WORLD ORDER"!

Town v FLICKS - Why Lie About the Survey


According to last week's Waterville Times, the Brookfield Town Board said "the boundary lines cannot be established until the surveyor  "pinpoints the underground well."   That is complete BS.... 

The survey has been completed and in the Town's possession SINCE JANUARY 2016 !   

WHY? WHY? all this lying.  People don't go to these Town Board meetings because this is the type of out right deceit.  People have repeatedly asked about the property dispute and received nothing but BS.  Mistrust of government starts RIGHT HERE.

Rumor has it.....the Town Hall's water may be on Flick's property.  Maybe that's why Salka is pushing to build a new Town Hall.

MAD CO Sheriff RILEY has a new JOB!

Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley is resigning from his job to become New York State corrections commissioner, Madison County officials announced today.

He will be working for the New York State Commission of Correction. This commission meets monthly to discuss variances, maximum facility capacities, regulation changes, death investigations and more.

The Commission of Correction does not hire or oversee correctional officers. That is done by a different agency.

Riley has been sheriff for the past seven years.

He has been appointed to the state job by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Madison County Undersheriff John Ball will take over daily operations while the county searches for Riley's replacement, officials said.

Riley spent 27 years with the New York State Police before he became the 55th sheriff of Madison County. He was the first African American elected sheriff in Central New York and the second in New York state. He was 49 when elected.

Riley is a graduate of Canastota High School and Morrisville State College. He was born and raised in Oneida.

Future uncertain for Vernon Downs


VERNON, N.Y. -- Vernon Downs will close its doors by the end of the year, after a last minute deal in the state Legislature fell apart.

Vernon Downs owner, Jeff Gural, said the track loses $150,000 each month competing with other casinos like the neighboring Turning Stone Casino, as well as others in Syracuse, Schenectady and the Finger Lakes.

"All I'm saying is just adjust the tax rate to reflect the fact that we're surrounded by these casinos," Gural said Thursday.

Gural said he plans to shut down the casino in the fall, the racetrack in November and hotel in December. Vernon Downs employs about 300 people.

"I just remain convinced that no sane politician could possibly think that's a good idea to close Vernon," Gural said.

CONGRESS - Killing Healthcare for the Middle Class


Today Republican "leaders" are supposed to unveil their secret health plan.... frankly, it's quite clear CONGRESS could care less about the PEOPLE...it's all about the PARTY! Screw the rest of America.......the REPUBLICAN plan is to take away healthcare and use the proceeds to pay the for tax breaks for the rich.

CONGRESS wants to make sure they've taken away enough money from the middle class healthcare needs in order to fund TAX BREAKS for the 1% ...screw the rest of us...Thanks, America...you're really making only SOME OF US Great (and FAT) Again..... don't believe me...here, straight from this morning's Wall St. Jounal:

(WSJ 6/22/17)  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to release draft legislation this morning; many lawmakers said they hadn’t seen the bill’s text as of Wednesday afternoon.

Lawmakers at the two ends of the GOP spectrum are also increasingly joining Democrats in criticizing the lack of transparency and rapid-fire timeline for a vote.

WSJ 6-22-17  At least half a dozen Senate Republicans took a stand Wednesday against party leaders’ plan for a quick vote on the health-care overhaul, damping hopes for passage next week.

The opposition is coming both from conservative Republican senators, who believe the proposal doesn’t repeal enough of the Affordable Care Act, as well as GOP centrists, who are upset by deep cuts to Medicaid that would leave more people uninsured.
