Reasonable people could differ on congestion pricing - I supported it, but even so, thought the plan needed some adjustments - but what is particularly appalling about Silver's behavior with respect to congestion pricing is that there wasn't even an open vote for or against. With Silver in control, if he doesn't support an issue, he can just table it by never letting it get to the floor for a vote. So all the reforms that individual legislators are trying to bring to Albany, all the positive things for the state and the city that they would like to push forward, are just subject to his whim. Any time anyone has tried to end corruption in Albany, Silver has killed it. And we still don't have good education, or housing reform, or campaign finance reform, or critically, access to healthcare. Government by Silver, Bruno and the governor only is not working for New Yorkers.
