If you REALLY wanted Civility in Politics, You could start with the man in the Mirror
The Trumpification of local campaigns, where truth disappears and alternative facts are presented as real is a very bad development for all concerned.
IS NOT THE WAY TO BEGIN. Of course, you can’t help yourself now, can you?

You obviously are very one sided. This country needs balance and is best when operating in the middle. Too far right or left is not ideal. Gerrymandering by the republicans? What are the Dems doing by sending immigrants all over to red states primarily? Folks like you that prefer full democratic rule will not want to live in this country if the dems have full control for any length of time. Buffalo and Detroit are great examples of full democratic control resulting in a 50 year decline. There is only one reason Buffalo has seen an uptick, that’s because of refugees being sent to this region. There still is no real growth in the state. In fact its so bad. in many cases there is no one to even oppose someone running for election. That is just not right. We need less taxes and more freedoms, something not all seem to share.

Ken, is there a reason why Buffalo Rising doesn’t allow comments on your articles? Although I doubt any of the liberal 35 year old career college students on BR have the attention span to read your articles it was interesting. Other than the typical hateful and arrogant demeanor towards Republicans. Of course in 50 years you have all the answers and any consenting view point must never be discussed, might disrupt you and your readers group think. Anyways, as a conservative I try to understand where the other side comes from and have found some of your blogs informational and having an interesting perspective. I don’t mean to be disrespectful with the group think comment but if you want conservatives to read your articles and be persuaded I would stick to the points and try not to alienate people. Or maybe liberals don’t want to persuade, it’s easier to censor and just wipe conservatives out.

Hi Ken,
I heard you on WBEN radio over the weekend talking about improving the Erie County Water Authority. What a thankless task! It’s like trying to figure out why a centipede can’t run like a gazelle. It’s in …”the nature of things.” It won’t be any different if the ECWA is disbanded. It’s just politics.
As for your views on incivility,
we all need to look in the mirror- including Donald Trump. No doubt he is grating on people- even his supporters. His rhetoric
is outrageous times. This is news? I don’t like his excesses either.
However, Trump will make a deal on DACA and immigration in a nano second if Nancy and Chuck were willing to bargain. We both know they want the issue and not a solution. Sad.
Btw, Auntie Maxine is fast becoming the face of the Democrat Party. Not good for the Blue Wave.Joe Crowley’s defeat is very good news for Cynthia Nixon and very bad news for Andy Cuomo.
Civility is being replaced by threats and harassment. Bad news for America. You and I both know that the Dems can’t wait to take over the House so they can commence impeachment.
That’s not just Trump Derangement Syndrome, it’s
Election Results Denial Syndrome. You don’t have to love Trump( or even agree with Trump) to make a deal with him
on DACA, The Wall, ending chain immigration, family separation,
E-verify or whatever.
It’s called governing. Dems are interested in it right now. Don’t blame Trump for not wanting to deal. You need a partner to dance and Dems are sitting out this dance.

A Jacobs announcement for the 60th Senate seat could be on hold until April 19th, that’s when the special election for the Dean Skelos seat takes place. If the Dem wins (Assemblyman Todd Kaminsky) then Jacobs should decline. He is far better off as County Clerk than a minority party member of the State Senate. As of now it is a deat heat in Nassau County.
