Aucturian:

Maybe we should having citizens vote on certain lg. spending projects, in order to limit tax increases.

You should talk with informed citizens of California, to find out how “government by referendum” has worked out for them.

Oh, I can’t wait till the constitutional convention! I agree with ‘churl’ and resent this injection of chicago politics into NYC and Albany.
For quite some time, New York State Senate just stopped when the troubled democratic party supprot switched back and forth. Wasting time, isulting citizens, while we’re all working. The nonfunctional senate and house live in a world where the representatives don’t resepct the people, and use redistricting to keep seats easier to win. Once in, their schedules are filled with personal and partisan agendas. More and more New Yorkers are asking: What can we do?

Let’s recall a similar question Thomas Jefferson asked in a 1787 letter to William Smith: “[W]hat country can preserve its liberties, if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?” We in New York can act on Jefferson’s warning. We can demand a constitutional convention.

A new constitution must properly address official procedures to have control of a body, proper nomination of lt. governor when the seat is vacant, and address processes to formulate a budget. Maybe we should having citizens vote on certain lg. spending projects, in order to limit tax increases.

Remember when Obama said he would prefer that Paterson not run for re-election? Paterson did not agree. Is there some Chicago-style wire pulling going on?
