<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDee and I made our move several years ago and we have no regrets. If you are a conservative who lives in New York State, you\u2019re facing higher taxes, a challenging economy, lower property values, and further restrictions on your personal liberty. Governor Cuomo is not your friend and there is no longer a firewall in the state legislature or senate.

Why not take him up on that request?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a9 Jeffery J.
