Visionaries,
Was Gary Young quoted out of context in last night's Daily News? I
certainly hope so, and I'm sure his party does too.
To say about his opponent's victory in Tuesday's election, "There's going
to be a serious price to pay. I will be watching and a lot of people will
be watching," echos all that turns off the modern electorate.
There is a proper way to win and a proper way to lose. Both should be
marked by humility and grace, not acrimony and threats. The election is
over. Let's move forward in the best interests of the consituents.
