Just to prove the point that you don't have to be a small jurisdiction to me a misfit of governance, it is interesting to follow the sufferings of NYCO as she follows the pork-barrelling and legislative vote bartering that is government at the state capital in Albany, New York. Nice to see a good paper, the Syracuse Post-Standard, doing a good job in rooting out the story. See, I am inclusive and global in my interest in bizzare governance habits.
