SAFE and Common Core

Further evidence that gun control will be the big issue this election from two upstate Democrats:

“… “The number-one issue that came up in the campaign was my stance on the Safe Act,” said Southworth, referring to gun control legislation signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. She said the second biggest issue mentioned was Common Core education standards.  Thorne called lowering property taxes the big issue in the district. She said people also were concerned about the implementation of Common Core, and state leaders needed to revisit the Safe Act. “I think it was poorly written, rammed through,” Thorne said …”

That is exactly what our man on Long Island told me last week.
