Finding Ulysses

When I hear people demand that trucks filled with garbage coming through Ulysses on the way to Seneca Meadows be re-routed along some other road, I can’t help but cringe at their narrow vision of the issue.

If you’re a registered Democrat here in the town of Ulysses, how do you reconcile being a Democrat with your Democratic U.S. Representative aligning himself with a group of pro-Republican politicians?
