Cronyism and hypocrisy. Go after Queens County Dems and Brooklyn, Eliot. They instructed their conference to vote against your choice. Last year, you could have captured Senate majority. That race against Maltese was a shame for all democrats. Al Baldeo almost beat him without any endorsements-thanks to Queens County Dems, nor money from the Democratic State senate Committee. Assemblywoman Pheffer, Anthony Seminerio, Titus, Councilman Joe Addabbo were all in Maltese’s pockets. They all came out for Maltese, instead of Baldeo! Baldeo bankrolled his own campaign, and had we Democrats given Baldeo just 1% of what we are giving to Craig Johnson, that seat would have been ours today! What a low down, rotten shame!

As far as our state legislature is concerned, is there really a Democratic or Republican way of governing? Not in New York—it’s all about who can bring what to whom. That’s what needs to change—it has nothing at all to do with party rule.

Our new Governor will face many problems from the Democratic crontrolled Assembly if he continues to try strong arm tactics. The Governor’s attack on the NYS Assembly will bring them closer together and create a major stumbling block for him. One would think that because they are all in the same party they would play nice together, wrong. Could you imagine if the Democrats ever got control of the NYS Senate, they would not work together, it would create a situation where you would have a disfunctional family. To much power in the hands of one party creates big problems, you need checks and balances.
