Hard to say. I have written numerous stories about the endless corruption of the local GOP here in Nassau County. Today, we got another chapter in this long running story with the indictment of someone who uses the name of George Santos. Story from Newsday. While numerous members of the GOP have been convinced of some sort of corruption charges or tried for the same, the party itself never suffers any electoral consequences. Most of the corruption, however, is low level in vain of wasting taxpayer money on frivolous spending or promoting themselves under the guise of public information. Under the one Democrat who was elected Town Supervisor where I live, the Town decided to stop putting the Town's elected officials' names, though mostly the Supervisor, on all signs throughout the Town. This would usually cost hundreds of thousands of dollars every time there's a change in elected officials. By removing the names from signs, which cost no extra money considering they would have had to be changed once she was elected, it would save the town money going forward. Of course, when she lost re-election two years later, the new supervisor's name went up on all signs. Nothing like running on fiscal responsibility to immediately spend hundreds thousands of dollars promoting yourself right out of the gate. I am glad Santos might face some legal repercussions for his crimes but I'm not bullish on a Democrat replacing any of the elected Repugs here. My own Congressman, which I have written about, not once but twice was disciplined by the NYPD (he's an ex-cop) for leaving his NYPD issued gun unattended including once while DJing at a party. The Dem party is feckless and the GQP is a true machine. Diarist reserves all rights to his original writing only.
