			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Joseph Addabbo has been in public office for 10 years. But what has he done during that time? Not much.</p>
<p>In fact, during his time in the State Senate, Addabbo has only passed three bills into law. And some of his bills make no sense: like “sensitivity training” for the members of the New York National Guard and money for parrot adoptions.</p>
<p>While Addabbo claims to speak up for us in the State Senate, he only averages 10 spoken words per day of work. With his $79,500 base salary, Addabbo gets paid $35.50 per word. Even worse, Addabbo “earned” $12,500 in taxpayer funded bonus pay for chairing a committee that held only four meetings. That’s $3,125 per meeting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“the most loyal Assembly members were… George Latimer (D-Rye), who voted with Silver more than 99 percent of the time.”</p>
<p>• Voted for the MTA payroll tax – creating a new tax on every Westchester business, school and non-profit. </p>
<p>• Did not support a pension reform bill that would save taxpayers $300 million. </p>
<p>• Supported eliminating New Rochelle’s property tax cap – causing property taxes in the city to soar. </p>
<p>• Did not support the 2011 property tax cap that provided tax relief for county residents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>George Latimer voted 99% of the time with New York City, Democratic Party insiders like scandal-plagued Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, even if that meant voting against Westchester families and taxpayers. </p>
<p>From the MTA Payroll tax to eliminating the property tax cap for New Rochelle, to failing to support a state property tax cap, George Latimer has put blind partisanship ahead of New York.</p>
