LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS...THE RECENT MAYHEM IN THE NEW YORK STATE SENATE IS DUE TO THE GOLISANO FACTOR.
YOU SEE BILLIONAIRE TOM GOLISANO SPENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF HIS OWN MONEY TO HELP GET A NUMBER OF REFORM DEMOCRATS ELECTED TO THE SENATE LAST NOVEMBER SO THE DEMOCRATS COULD TAKE OVER THE CHAMBER AND REFORM THE DYSFUNCTIONAL WAY THAT BUSINESS HAS BEEN CONDUCTED IN ALBANY FOR DECADES.
WELL...AFTER THE DEMOCRATS WERE ELECTED AND TOOK CONTROL, THERE WAS LITTLE OR NO REFORM IN THE SENATE AND THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY LEADER OF THE STATE SENATE—MALCOLM SMITH—WHO GOLISANO HAD HELPED TO GET REELECTED --TREATED GOLISANO IN A CAVALIER AND DISRESPECTFUL MANNER. AT THAT POINT...TOM GOLISANO PLOTTED BEHIND THE SCENES WITH REPUBLICANS TO STAGE THE SENATE COUP THAT TOOK PLACE ON JUNE 8TH.
AFTER THAT, THE SENATE BECAME A THREE RING CIRCUS WITH BOTH PARTIES CLAIMING TO BE IN CHARGE. YOU KNOW, IF THE DEMOCRATS HAD TREATED TOM GOLISANO WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT...THE FOOLISHNESS WE'VE SEEN IN RECENT WEEKS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
WITH COMMENTARY...I'M DR. STEPHEN COLEMAN...THAT'S MY OPINION...WHAT'S YOURS?
