A GOP Presidential Primary Looms; Who Gets Your Vote?

April 24 primary is going to have much more weight than previously expected. Who are you going to support?

Back when the Republican presidential campaign started there weren't many who thought New York would have much of an effect on who gets the nomination. But with the GOP candidates trading wins in battleground states, the 95 delegates up for grabs on April 24 have become a big prize.

Over the next month, Patch will be telling the local stories coming out of the Republican campaign's run through New York. And if you think you have a great idea for the coverage, email me at henry@patch.com.

But to kick this off, let's get a sense of where our readers stand on the candidates. Please answer our poll and leave your comments below.

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.

Isn't that above the cap? Funny, when another news source mentioned 5 districts that are breakingRead More the cap they didn't mention Smithtown. Dn't worry, the district will bully and scare the parents into voting yes by threatening programs instead of doing what they need to do which is reduce administrative costs.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
