Parody: Joe and Shelly's Way

If Joe Bruno Had His Way...

  1. Every building would be named after him or a fellow Republican
  2. "Welcome to New York Thruway—Now w/ Lower Tolls Thanks to [List of Republican Senators]" would read signs on the Thruway
  3. All of the property taxes would be refunded to Republican districts with a letter saying thanks to Bruno
  4. Tech Valley would be more then an Republican delusion
  5. All gun control would be repealed
  6. Unions would everything they wanted and more
  7. A major project would be built every year in every Republican district
  8. Life would be boring a dry, but with a slight wit

If Shelly Silver had his Way...

  1. Every speech would be given in a monotone voice
  2. The penal law would be eliminated, but every other part of life highly regulated
  3. Every union would get it's demands
  4. We would be a communist state
  5. Torts would be unlimited and lawyers could collect as much as they wanted
