Politicker Gets Results

Well, perhaps not exactly results, yet. And they didn't credit us either.

But our coverage of the State Senate's screwing of Bronx and East Harlem residents who had the temerity to elect a Democrat has gotten the attention of the Daily News Editorial Board, whose voice, we suspect, is heard a bit more clearly in Albany than ours:

"It's bad enough when state legislators hand out pork-barrel grants to local causes while campaigning for reelection, essentially bribing voters with their own tax dollars. But to renege on those grants after an incumbent loses - as Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno appears to be doing - is nothing short of shameless... Pork-barrel politics don't get much more piggy than this."
