Dear Readers:
We are being conned. This con game has been going on for years. My blog "Bazzo at Work" perpetuates this con game. To keep you informed, I re-print the press releases, unedited, from various candidates, political parties and organizations etc. regardless of party. The con are the releases from our state representatives.
These releases announce actions, important to you or various communities in their districts. Some are mundane such as which group gets a state award, or a road re-named in someone's honor. These are basically photo-ops for the politicians that keep their name in the papers. Other are legislation, either proposed or voted on, usually sponsored by the representative in question. It is these that are the cons.
For the most part, most of these proposals never see the light of day. They neither have support from their colleagues or like minded legislation in the other legislative body. They allow your representative to campaign on this proposal like it is the real deal. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is nothing real, there is no there, there. Any legislator can propose. It is by design to make them look like they are doing something to earn their pay. In reality, it is a con to get your vote. You see, with out support from the leadership, it will not come to a vote.
The others are proposals sponsored by your representative, voted on by that particular legislative body, but has no counter part in the other legislative body. This is the con that allows your representative to cynically tell you that have actually accomplished something. For instance, the recently announced passage of a bill to repeal the MTA tax. This was only passed in the State Senate. The Assembly has no intent on passing a like minded bill. There is nothing there other than a great photo-op. Without a similar bill in the Assembly, it can not go to the Governor for his signature that would make it real.
The final few are proposals that actually have a chance to reach the Governor's desk. These are the scary ones. These are the one's that pick your pocket or take away more of your liberties. These proposals always seem to have everything needed to become law. However, most of these are never announced till after the fact for obvious reasons. These votes are fait-accompli. Meaning their passage is assured. Meaning your representative will be allowed to vote against it, to fool you into thinking they are on your side, but it will still pass.
Yes, it is important to read these releases. It is important to see how your representative's mind works. What they think is important to you. What they are busy doing while this sate keeps going down the toilet. It is also important to remember that these releases for the most part are as phoney as the person sending them. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
