"Cuomo
Leads Nixon 22 Points in New Poll"
(Shane Goldmacher)
"More than two years after the first Silver and Skelos trials, Albany’s
power structure remains fundamentally unchanged. Most if not all major
policy decisions, including the direction of a $168 billion budget, are
still decided by a clutch of three men in a room: the governor; the leader
of the Senate, John J. Flanagan, a Long Island Republican; and the Assembly
speaker, Carl E. Heastie, a Bronx Democrat.
Those negotiations continue to take place behind closed doors, with leaders
typically offering brief, largely inconsequential updates to members of the
media and announcing details only when final deals are settled upon. That
arrangement has been roundly criticized by government watchdogs, who decry a
lack of transparency and open debate, as has the Legislature’s common
practice of passing bills in wee hours of the night when few members of the
public are watching or aware of the proceedings."
