As you noted they like them in other areas of the state--they also want to work with the Dems to reach phony limits on Cheaters (this year Flanagan is talking 100 more) so they can continue to extort more money out of the hedge fund Cheater school backers/investors. The money they got the last election cycle was critical to them retaining the Senate majority. Their ploy is very similar to the rent control extortion--creating a need for regular renewal of this type of legislation is a critical strategy in NY State's Pay to Play culture of corruption. Our legislator do not do "the people's work" instead they engage in closed door deals that are no more than blatant extortion from big money interests--while debating issues like the wood frog in public. The question is why do New Yorker's tolerate this from our legislators...it is so blatant that they publicly decry Preet Bharara as the reason they cannot get anything done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
