You Said It: Gay Marriage, School Cuts, Union Woes

On the repeal of DOMA, and its local impact:

"Great news!"

"Another strike against the traditional family unit." 

"Civil unions with the exact same benefits DON'T EXIST! DOMA being overtuned ONLY aids those who are legally married, not those in civil unions."

On the possible closure on Westchester schools' Walkabout program:

"Walkabout is a unique program that prepares students to be successful & independent critical thinkers. The cost to each district is exactly what they spend on average for all students k-12."

"In a world where school districts are on a constant struggle to meet the individual educational needs of ALL students, taking away a program like Walkabout is counter intuitive. The program is highly successful, proven and needs to continue for the sake of future students."

On a domino-like car accident in Tarrytown:

"Did the owner of the car have insurance? Then, any car that damaged the next car, those insurances of the owners have to pay for damage."

"Having a license doesn't make you have insurance or drive in a reasonable, careful manner."

On a labor dispute at the Palisades Mall in West Nyack:

"I am not surprised. I live in Blauvelt. There was a lot of tension for mall expansion. Union business can be tricky. I know from experience."

"Unions are the reason our economy is in such poor shape."

"How is a man/woman supposed to support a family, house, pay taxes and put food on the table? I am not saying unions are perfect, but they do serve a purpose. If wages get undercut, what happens to a fair/decent living wage?"
