A question to ask a NY politician

Whether he/she be local, county, state, or federal: A. Do you believe that your responsibility is to better the lives of all Western New Yorkers? Or, B. Do you believe that your duty is only to your supporters and the particular pet projects and special interests who have allied themselves with you and have donated to your campaign chest? That's a simple question that all of them should have to answer. And they'll all say that, yes, they are committed to A: bettering all of WNY. But their actions will underscore that, in fact, they're all about B. Personal gain, personal aggrandizement, and the enrichment of cronies and special interests.
