Long Island in Turbulence: Suozzi & Gillen’s Shutdown Creates Chaos

Heading into a busy travel weekend, air traffic controllers are warning that Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s government shutdown is putting unnecessary stress on the system. Because of out of touch Democrats Suozzi and Gillen’s government shutdown, controllers are working without pay. Here’s what one had to say:

“When someone responsible for thousands of lives a day is worrying about whether they can pay rent or feed their kids, focus suffers. Sometimes that small moment where your mind is elsewhere can have serious impacts.”

Instead of keeping travelers safe, Suozzi and Gillen punished their own constituents.

“Out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen shut down the government and created chaos in the skies. Democrats can’t be trusted to keep New Yorkers safe or moving.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
