Note to all New York State politicos:
“The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral chaos.”
— “Dante’s Inferno”
“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
— Lord Acton (1834-1902), British historian
There is moral chaos in Albany. Paying victims of sexual harassment with public funds, covering up illegal activity of a political colleague, and senators and representatives who maintain their neutrality by stating, “let the Assembly decide.”
Does Sheldon Silver really have absolute power?
Where is the moral fortitude?
