Sawicki said the region in 2004 sent $8.1 billion to Albany in taxes and fees but got back only $5.2 billion. "I don't know about you, but I don't like the way these numbers add up," he said. "It leaves Long Island paying for the rest of the state."

Isn't it strange how politicians complain about the rich part of the state supporting the poor part? California politicians complain about sending more money to Washington DC than we get back. At the same time these politicians have no problem raising taxes on the rich people to fund programs for the poor people.
Anyone ever noticed the hypocracy?
