When will the insanity stop in NY ? I will vote today in our local school district on whether to accept a EPA grant to help purchase 3 new electric school buses. It’s not a vote yes or no to buy e buses, but we are voting on whether local taxpayers accept the grant and spend $30,000 on the buses or deny the grant and spend $300,000 on the buses. Hoochie Hochul has mandated school districts can no longer purchase diesel powered buses by 2027, and a all electric fleet after that, or risk loosing state aid.

NYS is broke and the Fed Gov is also broke, but plenty of freshly printed grant money to go around.

A yes or no vote both result in increase school taxes. Next years school and property taxes will see a major increase. This will help expedite the exodus from NY.

You have just nicely summed up the democrat thought process. Stupidity at its finest.

Them batteries are gonna freeze up there on the tug hill.
Then what? Hochul gonna come out and build fires underneath them to warm them up?
Wouldn't doubt it

That the same bleeding heart welcoming illegals into the country until they decided to settle into her country?

Those grants have all kind of strings attached to them. When I lived in Illinois they got a grant to hire 6 more deputies The main catch was once hired they had to keep them and pay their whole salary. They also decided to unionize as well. This was a county of right at 10,000

Have plenty of extra money for towing bills!

lol

Not to mention the $ spent to install the charging ports and the electric bill increase, which is huge btw. But I’m sure that is all disclosed upfront…..

Your best move is to flatten that communist dictator with a bus either EV or diesel. LOL

Seems like a school could buy a whole fleet of 5.9 cummins diesel buses for 30k, they wouldn't be new and shiny though.

What truly astounds me that never seems to be brought up, is the fact that we are nearly 100% reliant upon our nations greatest enemy/threat for these materials. What do you suppose is going to happen once these globalist idiots get enough laws passed so we are forced to use this crud. Ya think maybe they would stop supplying the materials needed and bring our nation to a halt in fairly short order?? No way, they are a good communist country right? SMH

300.000 or 30.000 ?? you are paying the 300.000 anyway as the EPA is financed by your tax dollars.. There is no such thing as a EPA grant .. The EPA is as broke as the rest of the government to the tune of 32 trillion bucks. Either way they are going to raise the taxes to pay for all that fluff.
What they are saying is that you don't get to decide on the busses you get.

By then they'll have everyone under their thumb.
BTW I'm sure these are short busses..

Bingo, that’s what I said, vote yes or no, I’m voting for a tax increase. The only difference is, if I vote yes not just ny’ers Will get a tax increase.

Sounds like voters in NY and other places like MI are getting exactly what they voted for. Or did they? Don't all those places have vote by mail?

The story in Michigan is the same all over the country.There are 83 counties in Michigan,17 of them went to Whitmer so 66 counties didn't want her.But the 17 counties that did included the Detroit,Flint,Saginaw,Bay City,Lansing areas and their suburbs.Heavily urban areas that always tend to vote blue,then throw in the fact the Republican party in this state can't get its act together.The last candidate for governor,Tudor Dixon was a good choice but with little money,A party that's a mess and the news media trashing her multiple times a day while gushing over Whitmer like she's a queen and she didn't stand a chance.

NY City voters got what they voted for, but not upstate voters.

You guys captive in these states need to go read some of the stuff written by Jay Valentine and published in American Thinker. You may have a better chance than you know, but as long as you allow vote by mail, you are screwed.....as are the rest of us that have to live with what those states allow.

What could go wrong ?

You are voting for a ball and chain around your ankle ..... not if you want said ball and chain or not. Just what color the ball is going to be. And said ball is going to be cast in China. The chain is made by our congress critters.
