That's It?

Wow. We're a pretty cynical bunch when it comes to Albany. But even we have been taken aback by how little the Legislature accomplished this week.

"What's worse than dysfunctional?" asks Professor Doug Muzzio of Baruch College in today's Times Union. The Legislature ends its not-so-special session without coming to agreement on a single important issue. Campaign finance reform? Wicks' Law reform? Nada. Nothing. Zilch.

"There is a certain public-be-damned attitude that is emanating from Albany," said Republican Assemblyman James Hayes of Erie County.

Indeed.
