I am not saying he's a bad guy. But the Suffolk Dems have made the environment a big issue, in no small part by reminding everyone out there that one major oil spill on the LI coast and the Hamptons and Montauk tourist economy is in the crapper, and then everyone's fucked. Also, they've been very good at keeping issues like the Pine Barrens and replenishing fisheries alive. Losquadro simply could not be bad on the environment and stay in office. If the Dems can equate sound environmental policies with bread and butter economics, it is very much a local winner. Hell, look at the Montana gov race. And even where we are in kill-the-deer upstate NY, keeping land open for hunting is a key issue I hope we can keep using. Even if we can't win seats on it, we can make progress on brownfields & curbing insane development ideas.Thershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072224569922847217noreply@blogger.com
