Senate Republican Leader

[Doc]

With the arrest of Dean Skelos, soon to be former Republican majority leader, There will be actions to choose a new NYS Senate Leader. Long Island Senator John Flanigan has been mentioned as a possible replacement Senate Leader. It has to be noted that Senator Flanigan voted for the New York SAFE Act and is not viewed as a friend of the 2nd Amendment.

 

It might be a good time to write your state senator raising your concerns over the possible selection of this anti-2nd Amendment candidate for Senate Leader. Make your voice heard.

Long Island Senator...

You could have stopped right there and I would have know his position on unSafe. All the Long Island "crew" are nothing more then Skelos's puppets. Putting any one of them in charge simply insures business as usual.

The fix is in.

Right now, they are entertaining three replacements.

 

Next in line by seniority would be Tom Libous, however Libous is also facing federal charges and is in Florida being treated for cancer. Libious, by the way, voted initially to move the safe act, then after it was progressed, decided to vote against it. Skelos also was an important player in progressing the safe act. 

 

Another option is another Long Island republican, cant recall his name.

 

Most likely to become the new Republican Senate Leader is John DeFrancisco representing the district around Syracuse. DeFrancisco voted AGAINST the safe act.... 

 

DeFrancisco introduced the state's most recent mourning dove hunting bill in 2010, but it expired without vote, debate, or discussion in 2012. Needless to say NY Dove Hunting endorses John DeFrancisco for republican leader!
