  • I hope that somebody passes on the NY Post story about the “disabled” firefighter to Senator Gillibrand. Misuse of disability benefits by union guys is rampant in New York and has been for decades. Senator Gillibrand will undoubtedly use her fighting for first responders fraudsters as a campaign message for her reelection, as Ms. Bachman uses her vote for a great depression in her campaign for the presidency.

    Politics is depressing.
