Every once in a while good government  reform proposals will be passed,. Unfortunately these occasions are few and far between.  This weeks program takes at look a  good piece of legislation that is being held up by the governor, on the one hand, and on the other,  a bad reform that is being promoted under the guise of “good government”.   Few New Yorkers have heard about “Prop 1.” Few know they will be asked to vote on this so called “reform proposal when they go into the voting booth in November. First we learn about Proposition 1 and a campaign in opposition to educate the public to understand this proposition is designed to institutionalize political cronyism. Next, we hear about the importance of the Veterans Equality bill and question why it is just sitting on the governor’s desk even though it passed with bi-partisan support in both the Assembly and the Senate.
