There's no such thing as a 100-year flood.

Lesson from Pataki's success is: Use the political moment.

New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance.

There are 10,000 local governments in the state of New York. Ten thousand! Town, village, lighting district, water district, sewer district, a special district to count the other districts in case you missed a district.

To be clear... no one is above the law.

I was elected to come to an incredibly dysfunctional capital and make the government work better, and that's what I'm doing.
