In the Wall Street Journal, John Fund describes New York State politics:
"For decades, every issue of consequence has been controlled by three men in a room -- the Assembly speaker, the Senate majority leader and the governor.
Almost all legislation that handles big issues has been ushered through with no debate and no opportunity for members to modify it. The result is a political machine that keeps the state's government and bureaucracies up and running, but has been unable to respond to public demands for property-tax and other reforms.
Former Democratic state Sen. Daniel Hevesi has put it this way: 'Governance in Albany is so broken that I don't believe it functions any longer as a representative democracy.'"
