The city is buzzing right now. Bars already full. Knicks gear everywhere. Vibes are high. Doesn’t even compare to when the Yankees were in the World Series. The Knicks are New York’s team and I am all the way here for it
Josh Barro on Platner:
“Graham Platner doesn’t work for a living. As The New York Times reports, the bulk of his income comes from a military disability pension of approximately $60,000 a year. The pension doesn’t mean he’s too disabled to work — he is, after all, currently seeking the job of U.S. Senator — but his recent non-campaign endeavors seem more like hobbies than a career. He runs an oyster farm that principally sells oysters to his mother’s restaurant. He earned a small stipend as his town’s harbor master: $3,000 last year. He lives in a $205,000 house that he bought with a $200,000 loan from his father.”
What a resume.
Platner is on 100% VA disability.
Crazy you can be 100% disabled and endure the physical and psychological rigors of a highly contested Senate campaign.
