According to the NY Post's sources, "Mayor Bloomberg is planning to convene a Charter Revision Commission in the coming year... Reimposing term limits for city politicians is one issue definitely on the table, sources said. And the mayor might also press" [...]
I was under the impression that area politicians are not only here to govern said jurisdiction but also to act as a promoter of the people and places that they represent. Why are the Democrats not doing that any longer? City Council in Rochester this past week voted to spend [...]

David Paterson has to be one of the most arrogant politicians in New York. Just recall his statement he made that was covered in the D&C on Friday when he backed down from his and his fellow Democrat state legislators plan to raise $129 million for their bloated state budget [...]
Welcome to New York where the corrupt politicians and unions will have the taxpayers bend over and take it, as long as the union employees get what they want. To Hell with the Taxpayers…. After all, they are public sector union employees that work so hard. Let them not suffer [...]

SNL…this is just funny…the silly rhetoric we get from our leaders in DC can easily be picked apart by comedians and comic writers who see through the BS.
Just watch politicians speak…it is humorous to think that they think we buy into it all word for word.
[...]So here’s a guy that basically worked for Bruno in the counsels office warning Bruno not to do what he was going to do, BUT as is all to typical with corrupt politicians. Bruno ignores it and does so any way. Then in his mind, nothing is wrong.
