NYT Headline: Lawmakers Expel N.Y. State Senator Over Assault
Jeremy W. Peters, February 9: ALBANY — The New York State Senate on Tuesday night expelled a senator convicted of assaulting his companion, the first time a member of the Legislature was forced from office in nearly a century. Full NYT story here.
So: There has been much – research studies as well as news stories – about the corruption suffused in incredible hubris – in Albany. Criminal corruption as well as a withering ethical malaise that has nothing to do with the best interests of constituents. So, to see “them” eat one of their own (in a period when lots of eyes are turned to the shenanigans) almost brings tears to the eyes. Hasta la vista Hiram Monserrate even if there is a chance it won’t be permanent.
Let the feasting get contagious. One down, many to go.

I wrote the original text for this post  (well below the picture) a few hours before I watched the Tuesday 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. news; I’m not sure what was specifically bothering me then regarding the news coverage, probably that it was inadequate. Now, I guess I would have liked to have seen reporters getting in the faces of politicians and asking serious questions or asking serious follow-up questions to the lame responses from the few pols who wanted their faces in the evening and late evening news.
Viewers have been getting the typical unchallenged, wishy-washy responses, i.e. sound bites, allowed by TV reporters in the field. Most sound bites are awful.
I think now, on reflection, I wanted to see reporters assailing the pols the way it is done with perp walks.

WORD Writer Frankie Garcia and WORD Senior Editor/Producer Kisha Allison covered a rally and lobbying effort in Albany, March 10 to convince the legislator to repeal the Rockefeller Drug Laws. They both took pictures and Allison’s planning on expanding on their multimedia reporting later this week in the WORD. Picture below was taken by Garcia.
