    Let me just take this time to remind everyone that the taking down of Elliot was a inside job.

      Do tell! Or do I have to do all the work of googling? I am fine with that.

      This is such a fascinating situation, I wrote a big paper on it, the idea of a governor establishing an ethics panel to fight corruption in Albany becoming the subject of said panel!.

      The main problem with it, though, was that he was mainly using it as a strong arm tactic to get the legislature to do what he wanted. As soon as they passed his ethics reforms, the commission folded. He never really let it had a chance to be truly independent, which could have been good, since there is so, so much corruption in Albany. Oh well, could be interested to see if this becomes his bridgegate and costs him his next governor election/potential Presidential run down the road
