Something connected with the contradictory views of the candidates.
Here is one which had arrested my attention.
"Paul Newell Slams One of New York's Most Powerful Democrats, Sheldon Silver, on Fare Hike Hypocrisy
Newell, a community organizer, pointed out that Sheldon Silver had taken thousands of dollars from Parking and Automobile lobbyists as he prepared to kill Congestion Pricing behind closed doors in Albany. Less than 3% of 64th Assembly District residents drive to work, while the vast majority uses public transportation. Mr. Silver - who receives a taxpayer funded stipend to commute to his job - is an exception. The vast majority of traffic in the highly congested district comes from cars driven by people from outside New York City. Congestion Pricing was not the first time Silver has sided with the interests of suburbanites over his constituents. In 1999 Silver played an integral role in the repeal of the Commuter Tax - a levy not paid by a single Lower Manhattan resident. The loss of that tax has passed billions of dollars of costs onto New York City taxpayers.
