jahnyc Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Cuomo and Schumer have been relatively strong and vocal in their views with regard to the sale of the Bills and keeping the Bills in Buffalo. Has Senator Gillibrand spoken a word on this? Very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Number 76 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 She may have been asked to let the senior senator and the governor take the lead on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 She may have been asked to let the senior senator and the governor take the lead on this. That's kind of my thinking. I think that they are being very calculating and choosing their words wisely. Obviously, they all want the Bills to stay. It is in all of their best interests. I am not reading too much into it.

machine gun kelly Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Who? Â The other NYS US Senator. Â That's kind of my thinking. I think that they are being very calculating and choosing their words wisely. Obviously, they all want the Bills to stay. It is in all of their best interests. I am not reading too much into it. Â From a political standpoint, she is creating political suicide by not creating a united front, standing behind Schumer at conferences, It is important for her to let Schumer and Cuomo grandstand, but she should be making the trips and stand behind them stating we are all together during Q & A. Â She won't get one vote out of Western NY if she does not. If I were her opponent in re-election would blast her daily on this point. If there is one thing Buffalonians are passionate about is the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I agree that she is making a big mistake. She can let Cuomo and Schumer be out in front of this, but to be silent on this matter is pure stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say the others are "grandstanding", but then you want her to also. Make up your mind. And I'll bet she gets more votes next election in Western NY than whoever the Republicans put up.

Mr. WEO Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I agree that she is making a big mistake. She can let Cuomo and Schumer be out in front of this, but to be silent on this matter is pure stupidity. Â No it's not. She sees there is no political capital to be gained here. Her re-election doesn't depend on the Bills staying or going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You misinterpreted my comments on grandstanding. I don't care whether they are left or right. In my opinion all politicians grandstand on both sides. I'm glad they are to provide as much coverage as possible and keep our Bills here. Â You sound like your sensitive to the left right thing. That is not my intention. My point is she should get out in front of this issue so she can do the right thing, and also helps her political case in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is one thing Buffalonians are passionate about is the Bills. The Bills stadium situation is not a huge issue outside of the WNY or with non Bills fans. I'm hoping she has more important things to work on. She is very busy and has done good things in her position. She is undeserving of criticism in this instance.

jahnyc Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I do not understand the point of the last comment. Plain and simple, without regard to one's political views, Senator Gillibrand should be publicly supporting the effort to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

Badasss Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I liked "Senator Jellyfish" better when she was fat. Now she's just annoying. She's a coward that can't think for herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
