One would be hard pressed to find a non-criminal anywhere at any level in Albany. Interns included.
I do not miss NY. The APA is run from the Sierra Club and the Blue line gets no say in anything.
One would be hard pressed to find a politician anywhere actually in office who has not made compromises with honor and ethics. The big money boys from both parties pretty much control who can afford a winning campaign. We have to get big money and corporations out of politics with an amendment clarifying people as “not corporations” and speech as “not money.” Otherwise the madness will just keep getting worse.
