The criminal complaint Monday against Dean Skelos, the state Senate majority leader, and his son Adam came just three months after charges were brought against Sheldon Silver, then the Assembly Speaker. Having the top leaders in both chambers face criminal charges in the same session is an unparalleled achievement, but Skelos is now the fifth straight Senate majority leader in Albany to face them

With any luck, a Ted Cruz Justice Dept. will investigate the collusion between the Sierra Club and the Adirondack Park Agency that utterly wiped out the economy within the blue Line.
