This week I am repeating my call for the repeal of Governor Cuomo’s gun control law, the so called NY SAFE Act.
Second Amendment enthusiasts, law enforcement and business owners have been joining me in calling for an end to this ill-conceived law.

2013 construction stats
The charts at right show last year’s building growth in simple terms based on numbers alone.

For example, one 2013 project in the Town of Webb is for a home that will be nearly 10,000 square feet when finished. Continue reading
