I don't think anyone would argue with the notion that there have been serious abuses on Wall Street.

I know how bad Albany is. I know it better than most. I understand why people are angry. I'm angry. The question is going to be, how do you change Albany, what is the plan for change, and then how do you actually get it done?

People who assume I want to run for elected office may be dealing from a bad assumption.

New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush.

Anyone who says there is not a change in weather patterns is denying reality.

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