Has anyone here been following this story?

Almost a month ago the Republicans once again took control over the Democrats in the state senate and now both sides are arguing and fighting like little babies. They don't want to meet with each other to get legislative pass. Basically for the past month these politicians have been getting paid while nothing but acting like baby. The state is in a deep trouble financially while these clowns are fighting over their party lines....

they should refund the taxes back to ny tax payors for the abuse of the senate, and yes they should not get paid for the time they have been wasting.

What a bunch of immature A-holes. Locking the doors to the Senate chamber, counting a guy getting a cup of coffee as an "aye" vote, etc. Not one single state Senator should even come close to getting re-elected.

Agreed; they're all disgusting. All they care about is power and influence. They couldn't give two !@#$% about you or me. And it's also about making your party look good and making the other party look as bad as possible. Their motto: "Party: first, last and always."
