He must be up for re-election. Oh that's right.<br /><br />He is.<br /><br />Lisa, Tom and BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787750143375798683.post-71969151657791460522014-07-06T17:41:24.043-04:002014-07-06T17:41:24.043-04:00Some people might think this letter is harsh but I...Some people might think this letter is harsh but I don't think so. My husband will never work in a corporation again in his chosen profession. To make up this income, he now works two jobs, one of them as a clerk in a Lowe's, for which he must travel all the way to the Poughkeepsie area two days a week. I have been forced to work a part time job. We don't eat out any more not even pizza. We don't turn on the air conditioning unless we absolutely have to. Every last light is shut off, appliances unplugged, and we will be doing all the back to school shopping at Walmart and Costco. Last year's winter coats need to last another year and even my oldest son is tutoring and babysitting now to help fill the refrigerator. We thankfully still have health insurance but it's still expensive, not as expensive as what we would get under Obamacare,and we're not eligible even at this reduced income for subsidies. (You have to BE REALLY POOR to get that.)<br /><br />So it pisses me off big time that the mayor has done this. I'm pissed off about tax breaks for friends and Croton Point Ave. too.<br /><br />So I say thank you Joanne and everyone else. I wish I had your courage.<br /><br />Lisa, Tom and BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787750143375798683.post-74294625537528800892014-06-23T17:54:44.594-04:002014-06-23T17:54:44.594-04:00Couldn't have said it any better ! thank youCouldn't have said it any better ! thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835504669821561381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787750143375798683.post-64324310084065537332014-06-23T14:33:00.053-04:002014-06-23T14:33:00.053-04:00Thank you everyone for your letters.
