Only in Dicker’s mind was NY a beacon.

It was unmanageable, the budgets were always pathetically late, and they state was nearly always bankrupt.

Jobs fled upstate, NYC was a cesspool of corruption and sleaze.

There was a brief moment of hope for a while but it’s been dashed. Bloomie time is reverting to Dinkins time in the city.

Even the very wealthy are despairing of things improving in the state.

We have another corrupt Cuoma in public office and things are a long long way from improving.

I’ve read Fred Dicker for many years and I’ve found him entertaining, informed, and mostly on target. But here I part company. I have no wish to see this idiotic dispute settled. A paralyzed legislature is one that is not raising my taxes, increasing regulations, providing more and more goodies to the non producing class. When the vast number of NYers see that this do nothing legislature is having no effect on their quality of life, that they are not paying higher taxes, that they are not having to recycle Poland Spring bottles, that they are not having to pay 5 cents for a plastic bag, they will see the value in smaller less intrusive govt.
