“The governor is not listening to the people; perhaps he may listen to the courts,” Merola said.
Not very likely.
I am afraid that this is a done deal in spite of the fact that nearly 80% of New Yorkers oppose it. Hopefully, Spitzer will not be reelected and the next governor can rescind it. Heaven help us if he is reelected.
I certainly don’t miss New York State as much. The Politicians in Albany (including Albany County, where I used to live) are insane. The Albany County DA is against the Rockefeller Drug Laws.
Although I have to admit, I think the politicians up in Rensselaer County to the east, although still affected by the craziness (NYS Senate Majority Leader Bruno is from Rensselaer County), they are a bit more sane than Albany County Politicians.
Unfortunately for New Yorkers, the Governor can’t be recalled. Other states such as Arizona and California are certainly more “progressive” than New York State in the sense that they have the recall option.
Impeachment is a option, but that won’t happen because the Senate is barely controlled by Republicans (up there, many state Republicans are mostly RINOS (believe me, to me McCain is a more loyal Republican than the Republicans in the state government in NYS)). Plus, the Assembly is controlled by Democrats.
Believe me, I love living in Arizona.
