After a week of almost non-stop corruption revelations, including charges that Bronx Assemblyman Eric Stevenson took bribes to write a bill to help his friends, Bloomberg included Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his revulsion of all things Albany, implying that one of the things that aids corruption is the practice of the governor sending lawmakers something called a “message of necessity” so a bill can pass quickly, without anyone having a the chance to study it.
“Why can’t you give it time? Well, the answer is they don’t want anybody to see it. That’s the only explanation,” Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg's right about that.
Cuomo wants "laws" passed without anybody reading them, knowing what's in them, knowing what's becoming law.
It's an authoritarian and fascist way to run a government.
And it's emblematic of Shock Doctrine tactics.
"WE HAVE NO TIME TO READ THE BILLS WE"RE GOING TO PASS INTO LAW!!!! WE MUST PASS THEM NOW!!! THEY ARE BILLS OF NECESSITY!!!"
Cuomo is far from the only politician to pull this crap.
As I said, it's classic Shock Doctrine and Bloomberg's got his own way of pushing stuff through that he doesn't want anyone to push back on or challenge him on.
But Cuomo in particular loves this crap.
He does look good in a brown suit, doesn't he?
