Crain's asks will any good come from Albany Shake up?

No ,Albany will not see any real changes after the NY State Senate "Shake-up" because it is just like the daily scandals revealed by The New York Post, The New York Daily News and occasionally The New York Times regarding for instance, City Council Members directing money to organizations that are not IRS approved, fake or misuse of campaign spending, just give three examples from this week alone and this is a city council that voted themselves a raise and voted to extend term limits! No wonder politicians do not want any limits? Where do you get to vote yourself a raise and also have a lousy attendance record but City Hall, NYC!!! No wonder people want to be politicians for life and this behavior State to City Hall is proof we need more limits, far more transparency and accountability! Tony Avella is the only City Council member to have a perfect attendance record, vote "no" to extending term limits and "no" to city council giving themselves a raise. Monserrate and Espada run off to a baseball game acting like the media attention is cocaine and they are very high basking in all the attention while New Yorkers who sadly rely on representation from Albany to City Hall are left in the cold as usual. There is no accountability and the threshold for corruption is higher than than the NY skycrapers and nothing will change until there are very public arrests especially at City Hall to send a message that the people representing us are not above the law but for now from Albany to City Hall it is the people of New York that pay and pay and they are continually betrayed.
