I'm outraged at this man's sheer idiocy; more, it is unutterably ridiculous to me that people elected him to represent them in any kind of government. Mr. Ortiz should be doing a job that requires absolutely no thought whatsoever -- as long as it isn't in food services, I suppose -- because he's certainly not qualified for anything else.

The worst part is that I would actually be reasonably unsurprised if this bill passed. Dear New York: elect smarter folks next time around, and maybe you won't have such a disaster of a government.
