The Times' editorial board continues to express their justified outrage
New Yorkers have been complaining for many years about their abysmal state government, but it has simply grown worse. The state has become a national embarrassment, a swamp of intrigue and corruption, a $131 billion monster controlled by a crowd of smug officials whose main concern is keeping their soft jobs. By now, most New Yorkers have given up hope that these officials are capable of cleaning up their own mess.
The clock is ticking. In one year, unless the Albany crowd pulls off some miracle, which we doubt will happen, it will be up to the voters to get them out, all of them.
Yet another solid pounding of the culture in Albany by the Times, and kudos to them for using their megaphone on the topic. But they have done so in several past election cycles, each of which seemed to have qualified for being the election following the last straw that would finally turn voter anger into throwing incumbents out of their jobs. Yet, that has seldom happened. So I guess my question is, will the voters ever actually revolt? What do you think? |
