Progressive Democrat Issue 100: NY STATE FOCUS

The NY State Government in Albany has been called the most defective state government around. Albany has long been in need of reform. Many hope that Eliot Spitzer will, unlike Pataki, be a reform-minded governor who will clean up Albany. But he can't do it alone.

Well, we now have The Albany Project, which "seeks to return New York State Government to its rightful owners - the people". Several veterans of Daily Kos, including NYBri, who recently ran for State Senate, have started this blog project to bring transparency to the state capital. Inclded is a searchable State Senate pork database to reveal just what kind of projects our tax money is being wasted on.

Please visit their blog and get involved. Eliot Spitzer and newly elected reform minded State Senator Eric Adams need out help in cleaning up Albany.
