Senate to take up ethics reform in session next week
The Senate just put out its draft agenda for its special session Thursday, and legislation to enact “comprehensive ethics oversight” tops a four-page list of bills they plan to take up. The bill passed the Assembly earlier this year and is sponsored by Sen. Daniel Squadron, D-Brooklyn, in that chamber.
The legislation would establish a new, independent state commission to monitor lobbying ethics and compliance, an Executive Ethics and Compliance Commission to govern the executive branch (to replace the Commission on Public Integrity) and a Joint Legislative Commission on Ethics Standards to repalce the Legislative Ethics Commission. It would establish a new “Legislative Office of Ethics Investigations” and would change state law to make more information on legislative ethics forms public.
Other legislation on the agenda would expand the number of Family Court judges in New York, establish stronger penalties for murdering a child, develop a home-ownership program, set up a volunteer and emergency services recruitment and retention fund, ban airport hustling and expand Timothy’s Law for mental-health treatment to include post-traumatic stress disorder as a biologically based condition that has to be treated under the law.

A ha ha ha, ho ho, ha ha
I would laugh but the Democratic Senate “CRAZY” Committee is in charge and that is no laughing matter. They have INSANE polices and anytime they are all together in Albany we citizens are in great danger. Remember they are lead by a three person “JUNTA”, they have installed a “Three” Member hiring committee.

“Special Session” on Thursday? What, from One PM to 1:30, at which point they adjourn for the weekend?
Okay, so, I’ll list you guys as “undecided”.
Is there even ONE blogger out there who isn’t conservative and cynical?
Dear Donkey Darling, as a loyal fan of the Democratic Senate “CRAZY” Committee you must lead a lonely life. So the answer to your questions is NO you are the only one, and that is a good thing, since we need balance in the “FORCE”

Answer: Diogenes and the Dalai Lama. Skepticism (especially when facing blatant hypocrisy) is the chastity of the intellect.
3 DEMBHOLES on a committe – don’t you mean a ‘TROIKA’??? Ah the DEMBHOLES proud progenitors of the COMMIE FASCIST SYSTEM like their glorious leader new COMMIESIR STALIN=’the OBAMA’+his otiose CZARS!!! Ha.
Communist. Dembholes. Commissar. Crazy. Stalin. Death Squads. Nazi. Junta.
This is what passes for political debate? Card-carrying conservatives – men of stature like Bob Taft and Barr Goldwater or Wm. F. Buckley would laugh at this type of ridiculous rhetoric. I understand that Gingrich offered the strategy of calling Democrats names, designed to undermine their respect in the community…and in the South and Rocky Mountain West, it works to perfection. Ronald Reagan, your hero, would be the first to smile and laugh at all of this. Fully committed to conservatism, but understanding the persuasion and optimism needed to convince those in the middle. This kind of nasty, insulting language helps Dems – it makes people who aren’t already part of the 35% true conservative believers what a strange brew the right-wingers are. How deep their hatred – not merely disagreement – with the left goes.
Continue on, boys; the committed core is with you but you’re losing the great middle.
to Donkey Darling and other DUMB DEMBHOLES – Words is it you otiose slackard… TRY READING ‘THE CONSTITUTION’ THAT ‘the OBAMA’ and his mindless MARXIST GITS are destroying while you quibble about WORDS!!! Yes i hate/despise the people who would kick our CONSTITUTION to the gutter and implant FOOLS such as yourself and the rest of your DEMBHOLE ILK!!! Restore the HEALTH/WEALTH/FREEDOMS of AMERIKA – remove ‘the OBAMA’ + his crew of committed FASCIST COMMIES UNION THUG-GANGSTERS now!!!
