Ed Koch is on a rampage in exposing state elected officials who refuse to sign his pledge to reform Albany through ethics reform, independent redistricting, and responsible budgeting. And he is naming names! Take a look at the list of Enemies of Reform he has compiled through the organization he founded -- New York Uprising. The Bronx gang is all here: Assembly -- Peter Rivera, Jose Rivera, Naomi Rivera, Michael Benjamin, Jeffrey Dinowitz, Michael Benedetto, Carl Heastie, Carmen Arroyo, Marcus Crespo, Nelson Castro, and Hector Ramirez; Senate -- Ruben Diaz, Sr., and Ruth Hassel-Thompson. Let's hand it to the Senate -- this time it seems many more Senators are finally open to doing something about fixing the mess up there!
Look at that list of names. Not a true leader among them. They all deserve each other. What a repulsive group!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but nobody really expects leaders or statesmen at such a low level of elected office.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sad commentary on our elected officials AND the electorate.
