What is wrong is that the Democrats from New York City have tried
their damnest to control all the citizens of New York State. With
their idol Mario Cuomo in office, we didn't have a chance for a
realistic speed limit (then again, until the Fair Speed Limit Act is
passed we are still stuck with 65 thanks to the Feds). Even now, with
a Republican at the helm, it took a lot of hashing out between the
Republican-controlled Senate (who wanted all roads eligible for 65 mph
set to 65 mps) and the Democrat-controlled Assembly (who wanted only
certain stretches to be made 65, which would have made the limit yo-yo
up and down for no apparent reason). Thankfully, the Assembly gave up
a lot more than the Senate.

No, our schools won't be shit. They will just have to cut the fat,
like people in the real world have been doing for years now...
