Musings: Whose Island is it, anyway?
By late Tuesday, we may know which way the political winds are blowing on Long Island. Credit: AP / Seth Wenig
So, for whom will Long Islanders vote? If we are satisfied with the federal policies on immigration, tariffs, the environment, the war with Iran, and the cost of everything, will we elect four Republicans to Congress? If not, will we elect four Democrats?
Or will we vote for personal, local or party-line reasons? I’m curious.
