Irresponsible New York

Irresponsible New York

I couldn’t help noticing that Tom Golisano, in explaining why he is leaving New York, said that his tax dollars “will not continue to fund Albany’s bloated bureaucracy, corrupt politicians or regular handouts to the special interests.” I just find it a bit ironic since his own organization, Responsible New York, endorsed Joe Mesi for state senate last year. Mesi, after losing that election, accepted a $70,000/year patronage job in the state senate.

    Pigeon and Golisano endorsed incumbents near across the board, but for those who were political enemies of Pigeon. Pointless organization.
