Green Party NYS: Guv Cuomo State of State Does Little for 99% of New Yorkers

Posted on January 9, 2012 by iwilder

Governor Cuomo’s agenda for 2012 is designed to maintain the power and wealth of the 1%, promoting austerity rather than prosperity for the vast majority of New Yorkers. “We need a Green New Deal, financed through progressive taxes. We need a WPA style public jobs program to replace the 500,000 jobs the state has lost […]

North Dakota’s Economic “Miracle” – It’s Not Oil

Posted on September 7, 2011 by iwilder

If its secret isn’t oil, what is so unique about the state? North Dakota has one thing that no other state has: its own state-owned bank. Access to credit is the enabling factor that has fostered both a boom in oil and record profits from agriculture in North Dakota. The Bank of North Dakota (BND) […]

$16 Billion under Cuomo’s Couch Cushions (via Sherry Talks Back)

Posted on April 12, 2011 by iwilder

In addition to that fund, according to the Green Party candidate who ran against Cuomo, Howie Hawkins, if New York returned to the tax rates it had when the rebate was created, 95% of state residents would get a tax cut, yet tax revenue would increase by $8 billion a year. In other words, there […]

Green Party join NY UnCut Protest against Guv Cuomo’s Tea Party Budget

Posted on April 11, 2011 by iwilder

“Wisconsin showed us that working people don’t have to roll over and just take the attacks on their living standards from the two major parties. In Wisconsin, the Republican Governor led the attacks. In NY, it has been a Democrat Governor, who began attacking public workers and their modest pensions months before he was elected. […]

Save teaching jobs: Forget hike for consultants

Posted on March 7, 2011 by kwilder

Some folks might also remember the school attorney scandal in NY. Some of the largess of school systems goes to overpaid consultants, […]

Guv cand Hawkins (G-NY) Blasts Cuomo and Duffy for Attacks on Unions, Schools

Posted on August 16, 2010 by iwilder

The only way that the Green Party can regain ballot status in NY is to get 50,000 votes for their Governor candidate in 2010. This opportunity comes only once every four years, and it only applies to the Governor’s race. Gaining ballot status will enable the Green Party to run more peace candidates, more single-payer […]

A chink in the Prison-Industrial Complex

Posted on July 21, 2009 by kwilder

KW: Wow! I keep realizing that between the economic crisis bringing down the luxury culture, and Bernie Madoff having taught rich people to think more carefully about get-richer-quick schemes, things should eventually get better for the middle class, working class, and the oppressed. Everything is becoming more down-to-earth. Now, the California budget crisis has caused […]

NY State Budget passed in same, old way…secretive

Posted on February 4, 2009 by iwilder

KW: It is funny, some of my colleagues were lobbying and sending press releases to ask the Governor and state leaders to do this and that. It seemed like empty work to me – begging the powerful for more money for one’s own pet projects. But, I couldn’t think of what the alternate position was. […]
