Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - The organization that once called New York’s legislature the country’s most dysfunctional issued a new report saying not much has improved. There are mixed feelings about the report from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York’s University School of Law.
State Senator Dale Volker tells NewsRadio 930 WBEN the report comes from “the phoniest groups I have ever seen.” He says it’s politically timed balderdash put out by special interests.
Rus Thompson, running for Assembly, says it’s just the opposite. He says it’s still three men in a room operating the state. He believes getting rid of incumbents and that power structure in Albany is the only way to change that dysfunction.
