@KevinFreyTV Hochul needs to focus on fixing the archaic civil service hiring system before trying to save federal employees. There are many open jobs here in New York because many people are overqualified and would likely be underpaid. The civil service union is a battle she’s been avoiding.

@hsmartiii I’ve learned that the system created to govern the country is based on economic growth. I think keeping criminals in jail is beneficial to the monetary gain for officials and others. #PAD348F19
