There are rumblings of discontent on Long Island. See:

The Long Island RINOs are the ones responsible for the Pataki/Cuomo gun control schemes. If they’re getting pressure back home over their Leftward tilt, hopefully it will keep them from cutting any more backroom deals.
So what does this mean? A Rep / Cons split that causes Dems to win and us to lose the senate? Isnt that how SAFE was passed? Is this a dirty deal between all of them?
SAFE passed because Dean Skelos caved to Cuomo. When Senate control was split between the GOP and IDC, the deal was that either Dean Skelos or Jeff Klein could block a bill from being voted on. Skelos refused to do that with SAFE.
