I'm sure things are MUCH better in NY

Yeah because there's no corruption at the State level!!!!

It's a sad statement on the condition of government when you hear things like this in the news and your second thought is, "If they keep pointing out the corruption in other levels of government, hopefully, they'll ignore the corruption in theirs." Any major acquisition by ANY level of government is rife with suspicious behavior. Just look at the Air Force Tanker contract, Diebold voting machines, etc...

VOTE THEM ALL OUT EVERY ELECTION.

No elected official deserves stability.

Nah, that doesn't happen here,

When I was the Chairman of the Apparatus Committee of my previous Company, I was told we could specify anything we wanted as long as it had a brand "E" nameplate on it.
