What is the Speaker thinking?  Why would anyone want to send the message that breaking the law, even if considered “low-level” is good policy?  Patrick Lynch is absolutely correct when he stated that “Lack of enforcement of quality-of-life laws endangers the health and welfare of everyone and makes the city a less attractive place to live, work or visit.”  We would add that ignoring the “low-level” infractions dilutes the seriousness of other infractions.

How can anyone send their child to public school in New York City — especially when at one time not that long ago the New York City public education system was one of the best in our nation.  The NY Post Editorial Board is very clear on how to help students, something that Governor Andrew Cuomo seems to have abandoned for the support of the Teacher’s Union. This Politico article wants to give some hope that things might change, however, as long as the NYS Assembly under the control of NYC democrats, continues to be the majority voting bloc, I have little hope that the interview process discussed is little more than show for the parents who care.

The Washington Examiner takes a hard, honest look at the New Hampshire results. 

Seth Lipsky wants to know what is Bernie Sanders hiding about his radical history?

Andrew Malcolm opines on so many coincidences help Hillary Clinton in her email scandal. 

E. J. McMahon writing in NY Torch explains why Speaker Heastie is wrong to call for a new soak-the-rich tax hike proposal.

Sen. Sanders, fresh off his 20 percentage points win in New Hampshire over Hillary, met with the Rev. Al Sharpton this morning.  The crowd loves him, but we wonder how many are veterans.  In another article in the NY Post, former Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey, points out the fact, they while he campaigns as a champion of veterans, as chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, Sanders sabotaged VA reform, to protect unions.

Hillary, obviously isn’t the only democratic candidate with a trust problem.  In her desperation, trust isn’t her only problem.  According to her avid supporters there is a special place in Dante’s inferno for women who do not blindly vote for her because she is a woman.  Michael Goodwin opines on the bigger message this sends in today’s paper.

Hillary’s staff, according to this article, “blackmailed” reporters.  Wow, imagine that.  A reporter wanted the story so badly, he did what Hillary’s staff wanted.  The staff was wrong and the reporter was also!  The reporters that I know, would have told them to “whistle Dixie” and maintained the integrity of the profession. Readers of news articles must trust that the article is unbiased, when they want opinion, they go to the opinion page.  Or if they really want to know what a candidate says, they go to (or watch) the debates, town hall meetings or visit their campaign offices. 

Why is the it that democrats always want to kick the can down the road and postpone the inevitable?  Doing this leaves a “hole” in the budget that other taxpayers will have to fill.  It “sounds” helpful to young families but it certainly sends the wrong message, hasn’t deferred payments cost everyone too much already?

Just one more reason to oppose Obamacare.
