McCain Once Again Shows Leadership, Vision
Statement from Joseph N. Mondello, Chairman

ALBANY, NY (10/07/2008; 2313)(readMedia)-- Throughout tonight's debate, John McCain once again proved why he is the right person to lead our nation during these challenging and uncertain times. John McCain has the record of fighting for spending cuts, tax relief and government reforms that deliver real results.
On the contrary, Barack Obama's limited experience has been confined to advocating for higher taxes and spending that will hurt American families and cost us jobs in an already dangerous economic climate. Once again, all we saw from Barack Obama were vague promises and flowery rhetoric, when American families need and deserve real solutions to the problems facing our economy and dangers at home and overseas.

THOMPSON STATEMENT ON TERM LIMITS LEGISLATION

THOMPSON STATEMENT FOLLOWING INTRODUCTION

OF TERM LIMITS LEGISLATION

New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today issued the following statement after members of the New York City Council introduced legislation concerning changes to New York City’s term limits law:

Today, the New York City Council introduced two measures, one that would allow the Council and the Mayor to single-handedly grant themselves the ability to run for a third term. The other measure would allow New York City voters to make the decision.

The choice is clear: People must come before politics. It is inappropriate for the Mayor and City Council to pass legislation that ignores the will of the voters. A government should serve its people and not itself. New Yorkers deserve nothing less.
