Given the mad, egotistical, venal, power-driven meltdown in Albany, why are we not hearing and reading of a massive recall effort. I'm ready to sign up!
Does any other city come under the thumb of state government as much as New York?
Let’s not forget the hand of Tom Galasano, the zillionaire, in all of this.
Voters have a recourse, and that is RECALL. If Bronx voters don't organize a recall of Espada themselves, maybe citywide Democrats could do so. We voters have a reason and a rsponsibility to give the Senate a collective shake, rattle and roll.
Recall is an instrument that makes voters part of the democratic "checks and balances" = we should use it more often, and now would seem to be a perfect time..
BTW, I see I'm agreeing with the Tom of post #1 - but we are two people, not one!
Unfortunately NY does not permit the recall of state legislators so what other recourse do we have? To vote him (and the whole bunch)out in November!!
