L.I. TRAFFIC

What would you do about traffic congestion in and out of Long Island's
Hampton?

FASO: "I have a plan to address the infrastructure needs of this state
to help all New Yorkers. A major portion of this is to use the
gasoline sales tax for pay-as-you-go financing."

SPITZER: "The traffic situation in Long Island places a tremendous
burden on economic growth, residents and tourism. We need to encourage
greater use of public transportation, whether that is the essential
addiction of a third track to Long Island Rail Road or simply more
people utilizing existing modes of mass transport."

CASINOS

Will you support more casinos to be opened?

FASO: "Where appropriate, I have supported casinos in traditional
resort areas of our state."

SPITZER: "I believe casinos can play a role in job creation and
economic development in our state and I have consistently supported
the expansion of gaming in the state.

POT SMOKERS

Have you ever used marijuana?
