Hey Azi,

Didn't you or any other enterprising reporters notice that Speaker Quinn had to "game" the vote on the State and Federal Legislation committee to get it out of committe?

The speaker added 2 new members to the committee, Seabrook and Viverito, so she could get it out of committee. She didn't orginally have enough votes, so in true good government and transparent fashion, she secretly added the 2 members over the last few weeks to ensure she could get it out of committee.

Wonder what the NY Times and the Good Government Groups think of changing the composition of the committees to get legislation out of the committee...

I'm sure no one will write about it though....
