Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The suspension of the sales tax for one of the laws that is being proposed will direct 83% of the tax money to a general fund for the state and the remaining 17% to help pay for infrastructure improvements for bridges and tunnels. The law could help save us 43% on every gallon that is being purchased.
Sincerely,
James Nolan

Friend,
I’m running for Attorney General to return the power of the people’s lawyer to the people in New York State.
New Yorkers are FED UP with the massive crime wave we’re seeing right now. But current Attorney General Letitia James has spent her time suing the NYPD and promoting disastrous “bail reform” laws.
Friend, it’s time to stand up to Letitia James and the radical anti-law enforcement politicians in Albany.
I hope you’ll join me in this campaign to take back our state and restore law and order in New York.
Sincerely,
Michael Henry
Candidate for Attorney General
