In response to a New York Post article

Dear Ms. Fermino:

Carl Paladino does not in any way dislike New York City. As you recall, his quote about Queens and Staten Island was they are, "just like us"... meaning Republican and Conservative. In regards to Brooklyn, The Bronx and Manhattan, he said, "they can have them" and gave two reasons. But he never said he only liked Queens and Staten Island.

Personally, I, like many Republicans and Upstaters, am tired of seeing a select few, downstate, Democrat Liberals dictating the course of New York State only to fulfill their own private agendas. It's a few bad apples in the Big Apple with the strength of an orchard using their power as a weapon and not a tool. The people of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Syracuse and all other New York communities deserve better and FAIR representation. That is why it appears that Carl doesn't like all five boroughs.

Thank you,
David Tothill
Vice Chairman, Niagara Falls Republican Committee
