ADDIE RUSSELL FEELS THE BERN FOR ILLEGALS, GUNS

Statement from Arnie Rothschild,
Spokesman for the Republican Assembly Campaign Committee (RACC)
Cutting local agriculture funding by 50 percent. $15 million to support and fund Governor
Cuomos SAFE Act gun-grab. Free Cadillac health care and insurance plans for illegal aliens.
More funding for downstate roads and bridges. Free college tuition for illegal aliens.
You might think Im describing issues that New York City politicians are passionate and insistent
about. Youd be surprised to know, however, that these are policies that Addie Russell helped
pass on Monday. Its amazing what $291,270 in New York City money to her campaign can buy.
The New York City Assembly Democrats on Monday proposed their state budget wish-list, and
Addie Russell was right there to help pass the downstate plan. Her vote to cut critical funding to
our farms is unforgiveable.
Our elected officials should be working to make life better. That starts with lowering taxes,
making college more affordable for middle-class families, supporting our family farms, and
empowering businesses and families to continue to call New York home.
Its disappointing that Addie Russell doesnt see it the same way.
