	HOW THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE COULD, AND SHOULD, WORK
		The state government would be authorized to declare its intention to embark on a comprehensive reform by passing a comprehensive repeal of an entire category of state law, effective on January 1st at least 18 months in the future.
		The state legislature’s current proposal is to allow spending to continue at the previous year’s level until a new state budget is adopted, except in a few categories such as debt service and pension contributions.
		Moreover, the legislature’s current contingency budget proposal, if enacted into the state constitution, could be used to contradict other constitutional requirements, including the requirement that the state balance its budget, and the requirement that it provide a sound basic education for all the children of the state.

	The New York State Legislature: How Albany Controls the City (Gotham Gazette. January 29, 2001)
		The state capitol may be 140 miles from New York City, but in reality it is a lot closer.
		Although New York is often considered the most powerful city in the world, it is truly amazing how little it can control (See Gotham Gazette's article on the upstate-downstate divide).
		The Justice found, not surprisingly, that the funding inadequacy was a state responsibility, and took particular note of the method by which the "three men in a room" manipulate supposedly sophisticated formulas to match a backroom deal they made, a deal which he said has consistently under funded the city.

	Memorandum to the New York State Legislature on Freeze Property Taxes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For nine straight years, the New York State Legislature has cut taxes so that working men and women would have a better chance at a good job in the Empire State.
		Higher taxes are on the table even though-indeed, in large part because- the Legislature is taking no action to stop the waste of taxpayers' dollars by repealing the Wicks Law, eliminating lawsuit abuse, reforming costly prevailing-wage rules, or taking other steps that mayors, town supervisors, school boards and business leaders have requested for years.
		If the Legislature is truly convinced that higher state taxes and spending will hold down local property taxes, it should insist that this be done.

	Brennan Center for Justice: Reform of the New York State Legislature
		The report concludes that New York’s legislative bodies discourage rank-and-file lawmakers from participating fully in the legislative process and, in turn, deprive citizens of full representation in Albany.
		Since the report’s release, all of New York’s major daily newspapers, from upstate and downstate, have used their editorial pages to call the public's attention to the report's findings.
		The report’s findings are based on quantitative, historical and comparative data developed through analysis of all “major” laws enacted in New York from 1997 through 2001, interviews with sitting members of New York’s Assembly and Senate and their staff, and a national telephone survey of other states.
