Joseph Spector reports in The Poughkeepsie Journal about the impact of the seventh president from New York on his home state. Already, there have been protests over Donald Trump in several Hudson Valley towns, and larger cities, and Spector credits Trump with Republican success in State Senate elections Nov. 8."To have the White House on your side with a New Yorker as president is going to be a tremendous help for us," state Republican chairman Ed Cox said. During the campaign, Trump did says, "You go upstate New York. Our jobs have fled to Mexico and other places. We're bringing our jobs back," but did not offer a plan to return jobs to upstate New York. Ken Pokalsky, vice president of government affairs for the state Business Council, said he did not think Trump's energy proposals would affect New York much. "New York state has its own initiatives on carbon, on green energy deployment, that I think will move forward, frankly, regardless of who was going to be president," he said. Trump has also called for eliminating the national health care program that includes than three million New Yorkers. Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo also called Trump Nov. 9 to congratulate him and, “talked about issues for New York,” such as building and infrastructure. Also, former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani is being mentioned in stories as being considered for attorney general in a Trump administration. Read the full story in The Poughkeepsie Journal.
