Did Someone Say New Year's Resolution?
I never liked the idea of so-called "halls of power." But it sure beats the "backrooms of power." The extraordinary legislative session held earlier this month was an indictment of the current system. We passed nothing. What followed was the capitol blame game – a boon to the pundit community I’m sure, but a real waste for New York residents. The leaders of the Senate and Assembly must work better together, and they can do so by including the rest of us in the process. As for the rest of us, if we’re going to call for a more open decision-making process, then we need to promote a more transparent budget. In the future, let's not wait for a judge to order the disclosure of our member items. We can do it ourselves. Irony haunts the member item process. Even as some legislators are reluctant to make their member items public, they are unwilling to distribute the money evenly across the aisle. By virtue of my party affiliation and (lack of) seniority, I have perhaps 90% less spending power than my Republican colleagues. Mind you that’s in a district already on the short end of inequity – in everything from health care access to the siting of environmentally harmful facilities. And if money is one problem, bureaucracy is another … Ten percent of my constituents live on Roosevelt Island, which is governed by a public authority and its non-elected board. According to a 2005 report by Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, the public authority has exhibited "a pattern of secrecy and unaccountability.” That has to change, and I’m hoping the new governor agrees. Transparency works for just about everything but business envelopes and bedroom curtains. It garners trust and makes government run more efficiently. New York needs a strong dose of transparency. My New Year’s resolution is to continue fighting toward that goal. Senator José M. Serrano represents the 28th District, which includes parts of the South Bronx, Highbridge, University Heights, East Harlem, Yorkville, and Roosevelt Island. Great job
Senator Serrano you are doing a great job!!! We are so excited to have you in our community..Looking forward to meeting with you soon.

Spitzer's wife getting an office on the 2nd floor, no one elected her?
She not getting paid? Shouldn't she get a dollar to make it legal?
Oh, does she also get a DRIVER? This kid's got talent. A breath of fresh air for Albany and the Bronx. County and Senate leadership would do well to take note and make way for this rising star.
You've got some great ideas. I could see you playing an increasing role in what I described in my new New Years song as: A Future 2B Hold (Celebrate '07 mix) Some of the comments on here are just too funny. Senator Serrano is a nice man who seems like he wants to do the right thing but I don't know anyone who would call him a "rising star" with a straight face. He doesn't seem very active on anything and he's not visible in his district. I haven't even seen him on Roosevelt Island since he was elected over 2 years ago.
HI! I just wanted to tell you that i really liked your site and you did a great job with it. Just for your note http://mp3blues.info has great music there.
