Love that western ny accent.

 

He's dead on about the tax issue too. With the economy the way it is, I'm amazed at all the new taxes that are coming our way (health scare).

He should be calling it pop instead of soda

but then the people in Albany won't know what the heck he is talking about.

Budwey never called it soda or pop. He referred to them as beverages & said he was against the beverage tax.

The accent is also very Chicago, just watered down a bit.

The long nasally "a" in tax is the dead give away.
