4. Reading the section on his positions

Specifically on the Environment, it seems like a mixed bag. I was expecting worse.

6. He also ran for governor the last time here in New York - and fortunately lost

After I saw a sign for him, I had to look up who he is. He's a Republican rightwinger (Rep. from NY-1) from way downstate.

5. He doesn't need any knowledge or experience; the polluters will tell him which regulations to eliminate. nt
