[edit]

This article has serious NPOV problems. It is written in a way that suggests its author has a close connection to the subject. It is not written in an objective style. It alleges that he as an obscure upstate senator from a backwater was "singlehandedly" responsible for "major" reforms and that when *he* left the legislature, pension problems began. That is highly dubious b/c of how government and NY state politics work. No one person is that instrumental in any legislation in this state. Furthermore the writing style is far too laudatory for an encyclopedic entry. There is no quality control at all and an obscure one-term Representative from upstate NY claims to be friends with everyone from the then-President Ronald Reagan to Milton Freeman to Bruce Catton to Michael Dell. The article is tedious in length and could easily be halved. Finally there are no workable links. All links are to supposed print articles, which means very little of what is written (even if it was NPOV--it is not--) is actually verifiable by other users. I request an editorial arbitration to seriously rework this article or I will start chopping it down to its subject's one-term size. 66.67.32.161 (talk) 02:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
