Stirpe was cited in the Syracuse newspaper The Post-Standard saying “The tax cap is very popular. Something like 76 percent of people polled said they wanted a cap. Unfortunately, I don’t think they know what they are asking for.”[1] Many constituents have raised their concern over Stirpe for not truly representing them at the Assembly.
