No one here likes the "three men in a room" system, and Paul is New Yorkers' best chance at breaking down that door. Help defeat Sheldon Silver, the man who takes money from taxpayers to give to b/millionaire developers to build $2 million per unit condos.

So the Assembly wants a raise...
Empire Zone brings the latest piece of news from the piece of work that is our State Assembly.
ALBANY — Speaker Sheldon Silver and fellow Assembly Democrats quietly introduced legislation late last month that would grant lawmakers a raise of nearly 21 percent, increasing their base pay to the second highest in the nation among state legislators.
No, this was not announced in a press release.
Of course not.
At the urging of Gov. Eliot Spitzer, also a Democrat, Mr. Silver agreed to hold off on the legislation for the moment, pending the outcome of a fight between the governor and Senate Republicans over campaign finance reform.
