Opinion: It might be time for a clean break

December 6, 2020

Many people know of Shakespeare’s “Friends, Romans, Countrymen” speech, but not as many know its third through fifth lines: “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar.” A lot of bones have been interred this year in New York City, cremated and buried in private graveyards and our potter’s field. (How odd we seem to have an island for everything.) It seems to me that the shame of working for Mayor Bill de Blasio — surely not …

Opinion: ‘Words of Rizzdom’ from the road

It’s still not clear whether I will be re-appointed to fill my own vacancy. The guys who knocked me off the ballot (one was a district leader) were very badly repudiated on primary election day two weeks ago. When my personal…

Opinion: Local, regional and national governance has failed us

May 17, 2020

The very worst part of the pandemic in New York state appears to be past, and parts of upstate are beginning to slowly reopen. New York has recorded more than 20,000 deaths from coronavirus, the most of any sub-national region on the planet. We appear to have had nearly as many deaths as Italy or Spain, the previous epicenters which each have substantially more than double our population. Over 80,000 Americans have died and that number will keep…
