(Transcript from the August 28 WHITE PLAINS WEEK REPORT OF JOHN BAILEY’S PERSPECTIVE ’26 COMMENTARY)

NOW IT IS THAT ERIC SEVERIED 3 MINUTES I AM HUMBLY TRYING TO RECREATE WITH MY PERSPECTIVE ’26 ON WHAT I SAW THIS WEEK.

 

YOU KNOW MR. MRS. MS. WHITE PLAINS  WASHINGTON CHALLENGED NEW YORK STATES EARLY VOTING LAW.  THE WAY I SEE IT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HERE.

 

I HAVE A SOLUTION TO ANY INVALIDATION OF EARLY BALLOTS OR POST OFFICE DECIDING IF A NEW YORK VOTE IS POSTMARKED EARLY ENOUGH.

 

I SAY EVERYBODY IN NEW YORK SHOULD VOTE ON ELECTION DAY.

 

MOST EARLY VOTES ARE MATTERS OF CONVENIENCE, VACATIONS, DECIDING YOU DO NOT WANT TO WAIT IN LINES ON ELECTION DAY.

 

WELL IN ELECTIONS FROM NOW ON YOU HAVE TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAY.

IF THE PRESENT REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT REMAINS IN POWER AND THE SUPREME COURT LOLLIGAGS POMPOUSLY INTO A MONARCHY. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS. USE IT. (AS BOB GRANT USED TO SAY.)

 

ABSENTEE BALLOTS CAN BE THROWN OUT FOR ANY REASON, LATENESS, CITIZEN NOT ON THE ROLLS, THAT’S THE WAY ELECTIONS ARE RUN IN THE BANANA REPUBLICS OF THE PAST.

 

IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOW UP IN PERSON TO VOTE ON ELECTION.

BRING YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, PASSPORT, NATIONAL I.D., TO BE ABLE TO PASS ANY OBJECTIONS TO YOUR NOT BEING A CITIZEN.

 

DESPITE WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAYS, THE SUPREME COURT CAN JUST TAKE EARLY VOTING AWAY, OR CLOSE VOTING WHEN THE POLLS CLOSE— IF THE SUPREME COURT RULES IT CAN.

 

SHOW UP IN PERSON.  AVOID HAVING YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT THROWN OUT–OR JUDGED LATE. IF YOU ARE A SHUT-IN TAKE A CAB, PARTY BUSES BUT DO BRING YOUR I.D.’S.

YOU SHOULD TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR BALLOT BEFORE YOU FEED IT THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE. REMEMBER DELGADO-HOCKLEY? THE FAMOUS JAMMED VOTING MACHINE  19 YEARS AGO? AND THAT HAPPENED HERE IN WHITE PLAINS USA. USE YOUR PHOTO TO MARK YOUR BALLOT.

 

I APPLAUD COUNTY EXECUTIVE  JENKINS

SEEKING SENIOR CITIZEN INPUT ON THEIR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.  BUT I BEG YOUR PARDON, THERE ARE OTHER NEEDS FOR  SENIORS AND I AM  ONE. THEY ARE:

 

MORE ASSISTED LIVING HOUSING THAT DOES NOT COST OVER 5 FIGURES A MONTH AND ALLOW PETS.

 

TRANSIT THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE WHEELCHAIRS.

 

SENIOR MEDICAL FACILITIES THAT PROVIDE URGENT CARE WITH MEDICAL STAFF COMFORTABLE AND COMPETENT TO HANDLE THEIR NEEDS.

 

APARTMENTS FOR SENIORS ONLY —DOWNSIZING FROM HOMES THAT DO NOT COST 3 TO 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH THAT HAVE A MEDICAL STAFF ON DUTY 24-7

RENT CONTROL FOR SENIORS LIVING IN APARTMENTS.

STIFF PENALTIES FOR SLUM LORDS FAILING TO REPAIR SENIORS’ APARTMENTS BECAUSE THE LANDLORDS ARE TOO CHEAP AND ARE TRYING TO TOSS SENIOR TENANTS OUT OF THEIR LEASE FOR NON PAYMENT OF RENT.

THERE IS A DESPERATE NEED FOR MORE GROUP  HOMES FOR AGING UP DISABLED AND MENTALLY DISABLED CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS ARE NO LONGER STRONG ENOUGH TO CARE OF THEM.

THE LAST GOVERNOR WHO ADDRESSED THE NEED FOR THESE TWO POPULATIONS OF PEOPLE PARENTS OF THE DISABLED AND THEIR DISABLED CHILDREN WAS GOVERNOR  GEORGE PATAKI AND LIBBY PATAKI. THAT WAS 26 YEARS AGO.

INSTITUTIONALIZING  FAVORED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON AND THE NEW YORK OFFICE FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIEES IS NOT THE ANSWER.  REVIVING  AGAIN IS THE WILLOWBROOK INSTITUTIONALIZATION SOLUTION IS CRUEL.

I AM A PARENT OF A DISABLED CHILD WHO LIVES IN A GROUP FACILITY. I SEE HIM EVERY WEEKEND AND I KNOW KILLING AID TO THE DISABLED IS A FAVORITE  POLICY OF POLITICIANS.

BECAUSE THE DISABLED  DO NOT VOTE.

 

FINALLY: A CRACK DOWN ON NURSING HOMES THAT  DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATELY TRAINED PERSONNEL. REVOKING THEIR CHARTERS OR TAKING OVER THE HOME MANAGEMENT.

THAT’S MY PERSPECTIVE ’26 ON WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK IN WHITE PLAINS NEW YORK USA AND WHAT I SAW

THIS IS JOHN BAILEY REPORTING FOR WHITE PLAINS WEEK…GOOD NIGHT AND THANK YOU
