It was a perfect day for a tea party on Buffalo’s historic waterfront as over 300 angry Western New Yorkers got together to protest America’s #1 dysfunctional state government. To say that they were angry is no overstatement as even the mention of names like Paterson, Silver, Smith, Volker or any other of New York’s entrenched pension grabbing political class brought on resounding jeers and boos from the audience.
Only one politician dared to show up to make a speech, State Senator George D. Maziarz an ally of one of the event organizers, activist Rus Thompson. Senator Maziarz gave some tips on how citizen action can stop Albany’s constant schemes to tax everything in sight. Even so Senator Maziarz was not immune from the mood of some of the protesters, a few hecklers were not in the mood to hear anything from any politician this day.
