    Earlier this week the Daily News reported on the appointment of Kenneth Sherman, a Housing Court law clerk to a Civil Court Judgeship in Brooklyn. Kenneth Sherman is the son of Mill Basin District Leader Roberta Sherman. This is another blackeye for Brooklyn.

    Since when do politicians intervene when they see no benefit for themselves. Especially the leaders.

    Are you sure that LBJ appointed Goldberg to the Supreme Court? I know that he talked Goldberg into resigning for the UN. I think JFK named Goldberg, who had been Secretary of Labor. Of course, I could be wrong.....

    The only disincentive to unfair and dishonest government in Brooklyn, and everywhere else in this state, is indictment. We need to think hard about incentives for good government to institutionalize reform. With structural changes, it could actually happen.

    Re: "THE STEALTH AMENDMENT" - 10/21/05

    To give any more power, budget or otherwise, to what has been described widely as America's worst legislature would be a disservice to democracy and to the people of New York.

    State legislators are now elected by a flawed democratic process - aided by computer programmed gerrymandering.

    Those special interest groups in favor of this amendment obviously will gain more influence over individual legislators if the amendment passes.

    It may pass, with the financial assistance of those groups. If it does pass, the democratic process in New York will be weakened further.
