Drunk the Kool-Aid? Or, taken the bribes? The level of corruption in NY politics is legendary, and now it's at covid levels. I know my assemblywoman and state senator are immune to any appeals to reason, justice, morality and human decency. They don't even pretend to care what constituents think. Yes, I realize I must join the mounting number of friends who are fleeing the state, and especially NYC.
@Martha Rowen - I am sorry for your predicament. I fled Illinois (Chicago area) for the same reasons. I am happy here in my red state. Like you I faced an Illinois government that was held hostage to public unions. They jacked up the property taxes so high it is highway robbery. All for the union rank and file to retire with obscene amounts of money. Like NY, the IL congress-critters could care less about the people. Its all about corporations and unions. Welcome to our dystopian corporate technocratic oligarchy!
Looks like the NY State congress-critters have drunk the Kool-Aid. Best advice is to leave for a decent red state.
