People are rightfully upset about Wall Street abuses and excess.

The other states look to New York for the progressive direction. New York made a powerful statement [legalizing marriage equality], not just for the people of New York, but for people all across this nation.

I believe Wall Street needs serious ongoing regulation.

There is no dispute that Albany needs to be changed. There is no dispute that the current situation in Albany is untenable. Nobody knows that better than I do.

It's time for the people of the Empire State to strike back.
