That's a given. But you'd think that even in New York there would be some with principle. I wonder what bargaining chips are being used?
Principle usually goes out the window when you become a legislator. As for the bargaining chips... Money, votes on other bills, pet projects to be passed. I hear a big one is redistricting. Cuomo threatened the GOP Senate to block any redistricting that they passed and let the liberal courts draw the maps instead. This would effectively ensure Democrat control of the Senate after the elections. The GOP caved on it.
