Finding Ulysses

The good news is that Trumansburg will no longer be represented by Republican Richard Hanna. The bad news is that the incumbent in the new congressional district will be Tom Reed, a right wing Republican whose politics are not in touch with Tburg values.

Trumansburg could be shoved into any one of a number of new congressional districts this year, represented by right wing Republican Ann Marie Buerkle or right wing Democrat Bill Owens. Which would you prefer?

Here in Trumansburg, we’ve done better than most of the nation. The pitch of the decline of our housing prices has been less steep.

The going rate that Mike Arcuri has calculated for his upcoming gathering: 500 dollars to stand in line waiting to shake his hand, and 1,000 dollars if you want your photograph taken with him to make yourself look important.

How can any decent, freedom-loving Trumansburg Democrat continue to support the Arcuri re-election campaign, when Mike Arcuri has joined in the hateful anti-Muslim crusade?

If Congressman Arcuri had been paying attention, he would have thought twice before voting to end the protections for the Gulf of Mexico.
