Candidate for Governor Lee Zeldin attacked at an event in Rochester:

Utterly bizarre that the dude just slowly walks up to Zeldin. Thankfully he only had pointed brass knuckles and was restrained before he could use them to stab Zeldin.

 

What was bizarre Zeldin the Army vet keeps holding the microphone while his female Lt Gov candidate helps tackle the attacker. 

 

When shown video of the incident by investigators, Jakubonis said he "must have checked out," also saying that the content of the video was disgusting.

I wonder who used that phrase about Jan 6  ?  🤔

Suspected Lee Zeldin attacker David Jakubonis arrested on federal assault charge
 

David Jakubonis “wilfully” assaulted the congressman “with a dangerous weapon” in Perinton on Thursday evening, an FBI agent alleged in a criminal complaint filed in United States District Court. 
 

The 43-year-old suspect is set to make a court appearance in front of US Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson later Saturday, according to the complaint.

FBI, New York State police and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office personnel took him into custody before 12 p.m., the Daily Mail reported. A six-vehicle motorcade entered Jakubonis’ apartment complex, and shortly after departed with the suspect in custody, according to the outlet.

Great column I read before the holidays and just got around to posting.  I am originally from Canisteo so this hits close to home.....

 

Column: “Redskins” is a family name

 

"But they know they are in charge, and they know we are powerless. So they put their wind turbines on our hilltops and they bury their trash near our lakes and they decide what our children will learn and what we may say. They tell us where we can carry our guns and how much water can be in our toilets and whether or not we can burn our leaves."

 

A related note, last Christmas we stopped at the casino in Salamanca off I-86 on our way back from the Comedy Museum in Jamestown.  Didn't gamble, just wanted to check it out and have a bathroom stop.  Spoke with some of the Seneca's there, oddly they felt a connection to us as we were from Canisteo and there is a kind of shared heritage between us.  We talked about the Redskin name and a woman younger than myself said "We don't find name offensive at all.  Quite the opposite, our lands, language, lives and history have all been take away.  Soon all that will be left is our names and they're trying to take that away as well."

 

It was sad.  I felt sorry for her, all of them.  There was hardly anyone there.

I will comment on taxes in NY vs FL- I have a house worth 400+ and my Bros in law owns a house worth just under 500 outside Rochester- he pays 15k per year in property taxes plus his 7k or more in income tax on his income tax. I pay 2100 in property and zero in income tax. At the end of the day he literally pays so much to the state that my lesser income is actually more.

NY property taxes are ***** stupid.  Here in CA our house is worth $700k we will pay just under $6k next year.  
 

Question:  How are FL’s property taxes increased?  I know I’m TX they reassess every year. Here it’s a 2% annual increase.

Florida is a max of 3% per year-so my house has more than doubled in 12 years but taxes have gone up $300 a year
