 I, the undersigned, hereby demand that the New State Legislature and Governor enact into law an 8 year term limit for legislators and full online disclosure for every cent of income of all elected state officials, no exceptions.
There's a lot of lip service about reform these days, but the only way to clean out Albany is to drain the swamp of corruption via term limits.  Also essential is for all elected state officials to disclose the source of ALL of their income without the loopholes for lawyers that Shelly and the gang tried to slip by the public. Stagnant pools hidden from oxygen turn septic.
We must act now before vital neighborhood services are cut to the bone. Households in Brooklyn and all over New York State can no longer afford the hidden but punishing "corruption tax" of the current cast of characters squatting in Albany for decades of self-enrichment while the rest of us have to work hard to earn a modest living. We the people deserve the money for job creation, education and tax breaks, not the two timin' Albany politicians allowed to hide their graft and their lobbies. |
