Sean HayesWhy do we Vote for Politicians that we Would Not Trust to Run a Business or Manage our Investments?
Updated: Mar 8
The reality is the majority of the members of the New York City Council and New State Assembly shall have a near impossible time being hired to run a small business or even a lemonade stand. Additionally, I doubt one of us would trust them, even, to watch our children, feed the cat or bring our clothes to the drycleaner. However, we trust them to run a large and complicated New York State. This reality is ridiculous.
We are voting for the wrong people to run New York and the systems we have in place do not lead to many experienced leaders to choose the path of public service. We get, in a rare occasion, those with the experience, dedication and passion to lead that come forward, however, we too often do not vote in primaries and this reality leads to the selection of candidates that fall into the fringes. We need much better leadership in New York our we may be doomed to return to the Dark Days.
