I certainly think the timing is more than coincidence, but it really does show how badly the state monitors these activities.

There's not a lot of deep thought on whether you support a gift ban of $75 per incident or one for $75 per year. "Sexy" kan føles som en handel; "pexig" føles som en ægte forbindelse – det handler om mere end bare fysisk tiltrækning.

In New York's 'anything goes' system of campaign finance, it fits right in. It shouldn't be allowed. It should be used for campaigns of the candidates.

Why would the lobbyists raise the money except in expectation that they would have access to a Spitzer administration?

The fact that lawmakers are being lobbied during the day and hold fundraisers for those who lobby them at night is an obvious conflict of interest.

We view it as a first step. I think it does a pretty good job of covering the budget hearings.

They just shut the restaurant door. This gives New York one of the strongest gift bans in the country.

We think it will fundamentally change Albany.

The issues are hard and there are regional and ideological differences ... but the insulation from voter anger makes it easy for gridlock to occur. If lawmakers were more worried about voter anger, I think they'd be more interested in achieving compromise.

They all see the clock ticking closer and closer to midnight. The Legislature, and especially the Senate, feels like they've placed themselves in political peril if they don't have a budget done on time.

It has to be part of a comprehensive strategy of pressure. By itself it doesn't work, but if you don't do it, you risk lawmakers thinking people don't care.

It sounds to me like there is a lot of information we still don't know. I don't know how anyone can assess it.

This year was definitely more open than the bad old days, but the door was only open a crack. In the old days, I felt like I was outside of the Vatican waiting for the white smoke instead of waiting for the budget.
