Posted by Former New York Mayor Edward Koch is putting together a coalition of powerful civic groups to address the state government’s gridlock.
Koch says the coalition will take aim at legislators standing in the way of change.
The state is mired in partisan bickering. There have been calls for scandal-plagued Gov. David Paterson to resign.
Koch and two good government groups – Citizens Union and New York Civic – have invited others to join them.
In outlining their mission, they said the state government “is an embarrassment.”
The group says the incumbents responsible for what it calls “this odious situation” must be defeated. It says they must be replaced by candidates committed to reform.
