Meanwhile, he's begging taxpayers to bail him out.

chk spends a lot of time on this board trying to point out the good things in NY - I have to give him credit for that and the links may be helpful to some moving into NY state.

Myself - I've was born and raised here and know what a god awful state it is when it comes to taxes, polictics ect.. We had planned to move down South this summer but I was hospitalized and have all these bills to pay so we are stuck here another year.

We have a beautiful state and a lot of great people as well as good medical and senior services - unfortunately I'm done with the gun laws, taxes and PC culture.
