PhIl sez it well! Cathy is outstanding! Andy comes across as a bit wishy-washy, but generally OK. Silver is way too POWERFUL just as his predessesor was. Solution? Dilute Silver power? Westfield Ray.

Cathy and Goodell are quality people even though Cathy did vote yes for the stimulus buy out. I'll chalk that up as a mulligan.

Cathy Young has worked well with the city in the past. Now We will see how well the new adminisration does with her. Andy Goodell is still in the early stages of his office. We have to wait and see with him.

I think WNY is represented well. Its the poisonous atmosphere in Albany that spoils it. Something like a mob mentality takes over and representatives feel like they're fighting the crowd from NYC.

I think that possibly most people don't understand the wording of the question. Cathy and Andy, as well as Joe Giglio, do a great job of representing the area. There is a major problem with the downstate representation and how it relates to us.

I think Andy Goodell and Cathy Young are both good people with good intentions. The real problem with New York State is Sheldon Silver and the rest of the crooked New York City cronies. The power in New York State is in New York City.

Can't believe 62% feel this way..maybe by everyone BUT not the officials serving us. Cathy Young is outstanding and Andy Goodell is certainly representing us well, The problem really is the rest of the legislature....can you say DOWNSTATE? I take the question to be the ones we elect from our area/districts as they can only do so much
