New York government rolls on lack of transparency and autocratic attitude. Decisions affecting the fates and finances of some 20 million people are made by handfuls of power players in closed rooms. Hidden agendas and under-the-table alliances scotch democratic process. Even when results are beneficial (rarely) the public is treated like children who need to be administered, rather than as constituents. Hot button issues are come-ons for the rubes. Reform sentiment is exploited as a weapon for power grabs, extortion, and government expansion. Reformers are only reformers when it suits them. Questions are raised and accusations made but investigations fade away after advantages are gained or the wrong ox gets gored.
I'd say Andrew Cuomo is ready to lead.
