The Problem: Ballot displaying 53% of New Yorkers don’t like the place the state is headed and 40% are mulling leaving.

So over half of New Yorkers suppose the state is headed within the mistaken route (“New Yuck State,” Aug. 28).

That is what you voted for — Democratic mayors, a Democratic Meeting that permits nothing to get carried out and a Democratic governor who’s a puppet to her donors.

Preserve voting for anybody who has a “D” subsequent to their identify. Madness is doing the identical factor time and again and anticipating a distinct outcome.

It has turn into more and more clear that the management on this metropolis and state is failing.

It ignores its personal crumbling tax base, encouraging New Yorkers to flee. It has made the already dangerous migrant disaster worse. And now there’s an appalling, city- and statewide noticed lanternfly infestation that borders on the biblical. That is management?

New Yorkers, who stay and nonetheless pay taxes right here, discover themselves trapped and alone, like a rider on the subway, stalled between stations, quietly pleading for data that received’t come.

I used to be born and raised in New York Metropolis. Although I’ve been a Florida resident for over 30 years, I lived in Manhattan for 25 years. I really like New York.

What I see is the decline of an amazing state that gave to our nation a few of its greatest and brightest residents.

The folks of New York Metropolis and state deserve what they’re getting. Town had an opportunity to place Curtis Sliwa in as mayor, who is aware of the town higher than anybody.

The state had an opportunity to elect a really revered man from Suffolk County as governor. You all voted for a political hack. You all deserve these two Democratic misfits.

I pray somebody comes to save lots of New York, as its middle-class and rich residents run away to keep away from taxes, crime, dangerous infrastructure and unlawful immigrants flooding the town and state.

Each the mayor and the governor ought to have known as this unfit president and demanded he shut the border instantly. Each are afraid to take action.

I, and hundreds of thousands of different former New Yorkers, really feel horrible about what has occurred to our house state.

Gov. Hochul’s approval ranking is method down.

Didn’t you individuals who voted for her understand she could be a mockery of management for our state?

I voted for Rep. Lee Zeldin. Keep in mind subsequent time you vote — don’t make the identical mistake.

As Hochul’s approval ranking has now plunged to a brand new low, the one shock is that it took this lengthy to occur.

Hochul has been a feckless, incompetent governor from the beginning. Crime is uncontrolled, folks proceed to go away the state and her dealing with of the migrant disaster has been totally ridiculous.

She repeatedly criticizes Adams, however provides no options to assist the scenario. Hochul is your typical leftist politician who says all the politically appropriate issues however has no thought how you can pragmatically remedy issues — and fixing these issues is why she was elected.

The state of NY city will not be a difficulty of Democrat vs. Republican. It’s a query of competence vs. incompetence.

I’m no fan of former Rep. Liz Cheney, however she received it proper when she stated not too long ago, “Our flesh pressers our flesh pressers are silly.”

I’d add that they aren’t in a position to suppose critically in regards to the penalties of their policymaking which has turned this metropolis right into a nightmare.

Would you like extra of the rich tax base to flee to Florida, Governor?

Nicely, with a 40% approval charge and falling, it appears to be like just like the liberal loons who voted for you’re turning on you and rightfully so.

You might be placing New York residents at risk. You might be placing youngsters at risk, who can’t defend themselves.

Remove sanctuary-city standing instantly and acknowledge that “proper to shelter” is just for New York’s homeless — not invaders.
