The Old "New Wind"

There seemed to be endless talk this week in Albany of a "new wind blowing" across New York state government. Unfortunately that breeze has yet to reach 1450 Western Avenue.

The pay-to-play Legislative Retrieval Service is now offering their clients the ability to access 2009 pre-filed bills while the "public" LBDC site remains in the 2008 session. When will this be updated? Why are these two sites, run by the same inefficient state commission not coinciding with one another? We cannot expect the legislature to police themselves, so we call upon General Cuomo to fulfill his promise to make the legislative system more accesible to the average New Yorker.
