"Jobs for Albany's Do Nothings"

To the Editor of the Chronicle:


The Saturday 5/15 Editorial in the NYTimes about "Jobs for Albany's Do Nothings" should serve as a wake-up call to all of New York's voters and a call to non-voters to register and vote. Our alleged public servants in Albany have made a mockery of Democracy and the concept of representative government. If ever a clean sweep was in order that time seems to be now. If ever all of the current spoiled crop of politicians deserved to be thrown out it seems to be now.

It's hard to imagine that a completely new elected group of democrats and/or republicans and/or independents could do worse! We should all do our duties as citizens and vote on 9/14 and 11/2.
