I'm a harsh critic of the status quo.

I believe we need to attract a new generation of the best and brightest to public service and I believe that government can be a source of inspiration, not degradation.

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.

Flooding damage is not customary for New York, especially downstate.

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

What made Manhattan Manhattan was the underground infrastructure, that engineering marvel.

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